{"product_id":"book-e7ql","title":"Revolver","description":"Acquired wisdom has always put \u003ci\u003eSgt. Pepper\u003c\/i\u003e at the head of the class, but it was \u003ci\u003eRevolver\u003c\/i\u003e that truly signaled The Beatles' sea change from a functional band to a studio-based ensemble. These changes began before \u003ci\u003eRubber Soul\u003c\/i\u003e but came to fruition on \u003ci\u003eRevolver\u003c\/i\u003e, which took an astonishing 300 hours to produce, far more than any rock record before it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe making of \u003ci\u003eRevolver\u003c\/i\u003e—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 \u003ci\u003eSgt. Pepper\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePet Sounds\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRevolver\u003c\/i\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eRevolver\u003c\/i\u003e was the game-changer, and this is, finally, the detailed telling of its storied recording and enormous impact.
