The Beatles' 'Revolver,' Renewed: An Interview With Giles Martin
Producer Giles Martin — son of the late “Fifth Beatle” George Martin — unpacks the approach behind the revelatory new Special Edition reissue. “I learned this really early on with the Beatles: Your job is to push boundaries.”
The album in question is Revolver, and “they,” of course, are the Beatles, the greatest band of the rock era. The speaker is 53-year-old Giles Martin, son of the late producer George Martin, who shepherded nearly all of the Fab Four’s creative impulses toward the masterpieces that formed the foundation of their legacy.
Giles, himself a gifted producer with a knack for giving new life to decades-old music, recently revitalized the Beatles’ seventh official studio effort, originally released in early August 1966. This latest Beatles Special Edition, due out Oct. 28, features Revolver in new stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes as well as the original mono mix. The project is being released in various digital and physical configurations that peak with Super Deluxe box sets with CDs or vinyl plus access to a digital collection and a hardbound book.
