Album Notes The Beatles: George Harrison (vocals, guitar, sitar); John Lennon (vocals, guitar); Paul McCartney (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards, bass); Ringo Starr (vocals, drums). Additional personnel includes: Alan Civil (French horn); Anil Bhagwat (tabla); Brian Jones (background vocals). All songs written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney except "Taxman," "Love You To" and "I Want To Tell You" (George Harrison). REVOLVER was praised for its musical experimentation: the Indian sounds of "Love You To," the Motown-inspired "Got To Get You Into My Life," the backward-recorded guitar in "I'm Only Sleeping." "Tomorrow Never Knows" was the most radical departure from previous Beatles' recordings: skeletal bass/drums propulsion enhanced only with tape loops (contributed by all four Beatles and added in the mix-down process), more backward-recorded guitar and an eerie vocal by Lennon. The Beatles' experimentation grew out of their songwriting, which had matured beyond formula pop. "Tomorrow Never Knows" borrowed from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Harrison's "Taxman" was a bitter diatribe, while McCartney's "Eleanor Rigby" was a bleak portrait of loneliness. Balanced with upbeat songs like "Good Day Sunshine" and "Yellow Submarine," REVOLVER proved The Beatles were no simple teen idols, they were musical artists in search of new sounds and ideas. top
