All of The Beatles albums are classic albums, but I have a personal fondness and love for a trilogy of their thirty three and a third releases. And they are, Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band.
Today I want to honor the album, Revolver, which came out in the summer of 1966 and it marked a distinctive shift for the Fabulous Four.
Below are six online articles proving this point and a video from a press conference featuring The Beatles after the album came out.
