<\/a>Ray Davies reviews Revolver for the magazine Disc And Music Echo, 1966.<\/p>\n
\u201cTaxman\u201d \u2013 \u201cIt sounds like a cross between the Who and Batman. It\u2019s a bit limited, but the Beatles get over this by the sexy double-tracking. It\u2019s surprising how sexy double-tracking makes a voice sound.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEleanor Rigby\u201d \u2013 \u201cI bought a Haydn LP the other day and this sounds just like it. It\u2019s all sort of quartet stuff and it sounds like they\u2019re out to please music teachers in primary schools. I can imagine John saying: \u2018I\u2019m going to write this for my old schoolmistress\u2019. Still it\u2019s very commercial.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m Only Sleeping\u201d \u2013 \u201cIt\u2019s a most beautiful song, much prettier than \u2018Eleanor Rigby\u2019. A jolly old thing, really, and definitely the best track on the album.<\/p>\n
\u201cLove You Too\u201d \u2013 \u201cGeorge wrote this \u2013 he must have quite a big influence on the group now. This sort of song I was doing two years ago \u2013 now I\u2019m doing what the Beatles were doing two years ago. It\u2019s not a bad song \u2013 it\u2019s well performed which is always true of a Beatles track.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHere There and Everywhere\u201d \u2013 \u201cThis proves that the Beatles have got good memories, because there are a lot of busy chords in it. It\u2019s nice \u2013 like one instrument with the voice and the guitar merging. Third best track on the album.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYellow Submarine\u201d \u2013 \u201c\u201dThis is a load of rubbish, really. I take the mickey out of myself on the piano and play stuff like this. I think they know it\u2019s not that good.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe Said She Said\u201d \u2013 \u201cThis song is in to restore confidence in old Beatles sound. That\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood Day Sunshine\u201d \u2013 \u201cThis\u2019ll be a giant. It doesn\u2019t force itself on you, but it stands out like \u2018I\u2019m Only Sleeping\u2019. This is back to the real old Beatles. I just don\u2019t like the electronic stuff. The Beatles were supposed to be like the boy next door only better.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Your Bird Can Sing\u201d \u2013 \u201cDon\u2019t like this. The song\u2019s too predictable. It\u2019s not a Beatles song at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDr. Robert\u201d – \u201cIt\u2019s good \u2013 there\u2019s a 12-bar beat and bits in it that are clever. Not my sort of thing, though.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI Want To Tell You\u201d \u2013 \u201cThis helps the LP through though it\u2019s not up to the Beatles standard.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGot To Get You Into My Life\u201d \u2013 \u201cJazz backing \u2013 and it just goes to prove that Britain\u2019s jazz musicians can\u2019t swing. Paul\u2019s sings better jazz than the musicians are playing which makes nonsense of people saying jazz and pop are very different. Paul sounds like Little Richard. Really, it\u2019s the most vintage Beatles track on the LP.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTomorrow Never Knows\u201d \u2013 \u201cListen to all those crazy sounds! It\u2019ll be popular in discotheques. I can imagine they had George Martin tied to a totem pole when they did this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first Beatles LP I\u2019ve really listened to in it\u2019s entirety but I must say there are better songs on \u2018Rubber Soul\u2019. Still, \u2018I\u2019m Only Sleeping\u2019 is a standout. \u2018Good Day Sunshine is second best and I also like \u2018Here, There and Everywhere.\u2019 But I don\u2019t want to be harsh about the others. The balance and recording technique are as good as ever.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
