Revolver: the inside story of The Beatles' greatest album

Wednesday, April 6, 1966, studio three at Abbey Road, London. It’s approaching 8pm as Paul McCartney plugs in his bass guitar in the building where, in just three and a half years, he and the other Beatles have recorded six game-changing albums that have helped the band to conquer the world.

Reconvening after their first meaningful break since Beatlemania launched them into the stratosphere, the Fab Four set to work on Tomorrow Never Knows, a song that, 56 years on, remains one of the most revolutionary recordings in pop history. At 1.15am, having laid down three takes, they call time. It is no exaggeration to say that what happens that night and over the next 12 weeks invents modern music.
