Famous fans revisit Revolver at 55: "I believed it was everybody’s favourite Beatles record"

1. Taxman

“One… two… three… four…” And we’re off – The Beatles’ seventh studio album begins with George Harrison’s tight, 12-bar riposte to the government’s punitive tax regime. Thirteen tracks later, it will end in another dimension…

JOHNNY MARR: “I’ve been thinking about George Harrison a lot recently. He’s a good advert for how incredibly famous people might want to conduct themselves. He seemed to be above needy celebrity. He was, I like to think, a very singular personality in rock music. When I was a little kid in the early ’70s, his support for the Krishna movement was a big deal – he had the eyes of the world on him, but he single-mindedly followed his own path. If that’s not integrity, I don’t know what is!
