Revolver (but not the upcoming release)

Post by bobzilla »

So a few weeks ago Yellowwhale456 had posted the video about the oddity of the French pressing of Revolver where the count-in for Taxman was cut off. Originally there wasn't any audio of the record, so I was curious myself. After doing a little research, I learned that all the versions of the French pressing of Revolver had this anomaly. I decided to procure myself a copy, which is what I'm sharing with you today.

Revolver being one of my favorite Beatles albums, I then started looking into what other strange versions of Revolver exist. I already knew about the original mono UK version with the withdrawn mix 11 for Tomorrow Never Knows, and will share my needledrop of that version soon, but there are also some other interesting versions from around the globe that I will hopefully obtain eventually and share also.

Anywho, here's my copy of the French pressing of Revolver:

hxxps://we.tl/t-P6BdfDogMB
