REVOLVER: HOW THE BEATLES RE-IMAGINED ROCK ’N’ ROLL

Book ID/图书代码： 11684011B44327

English Summary/英文概要： Received wisdom has always put Sgt. Pepper at the head of the class, but it was Revolver that truly signaled the Beatles’ sea change from a functional band to a studio-based ensemble. These changes began before Rubber Soul but came to fruition on Revolver, which took an astonishing 300 hours to produce, far more than any rock record before it. The making of Revolver - hunkered down in Abbey Road with George Martin - is in itself a great Beatles story, but would be nothing if the results weren’t so impactful. More than even Sgt. Pepper and Pet Sounds, Revolver fed directly into the rock ’n’ roll zeitgeist, and its influence could be heard everywhere, from the psychedelic San Francisco sound (Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead) to the first wave of post-blues hard rock (Sabbath, Zeppelin) through movie soundtracks and pretty much everything that followed it, including every generation of guitar-based pop music and even heavy metal. More than any record before or after, Revolver was the game-changer, and this is, finally, the detailed telling of its storied recording and enormous impact.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 智慧让Sgt. Pepper名列前茅，但却是Revolver 标志着甲壳虫乐队从一个专业的乐队转变成了一个以工作室为基础的合奏团。这些变化开始于Rubber Soul之前，却于Revolver变得成熟，用了令人惊讶的300多个小时来创作，远远超过之前的所有摇滚记录。Revolver是由George Martin 在一个修道院中创作而成，就其本身来看，它是披头士乐队伟大的经历，但如果结果不具有影响力，它将毫无意义。与Sgt. Pepper和Pet Sounds相比，Revolver更加直截了当地展现出摇滚乐时代的精神，而且它的影响随处可见，从旧金山的迷幻音乐（Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead乐队）再到后布鲁斯重摇滚的首次浪潮(Sabbath, Zeppelin)，并通过电影原声音乐以及其它众多的事物来体现，包括吉他伴奏的流行音乐，甚至重金属音乐。 比起之前和之后的乐队，是Revolver真正改变了以往的定律，这就是它所创造的传奇和巨大说服力的详细经过。
