Revolver is the seventh studio album by English rock band the Beatles, released on 5 August 1966 on the Parlophone label and produced by George Martin.

Albums don’t matter much anymore, but this is one of the albums that made them matter. The band at the absolute pinnacle of their powers and not a bad track.

My absolute FAVORITE Beatles album. Not that they’re not all great, but this is the one to get first. Unless you go in for that chronological order thing.
