Visste du detta om ’Revolver’? Paul berättar

Posted on 2 november, 2022
THE BEATLES – REVOLVER BOXSET (4LP+7”Single).

Några dagar innan den nymixade versionen av albumet Revolver med The Beatles släpptes den 28 oktober 2022, fick de som hanterar Paul McCartneys egen hemsida (paulmccartney.com) möjlighet att ställa några frågor till Paul om albumet. Visste du att The Beatles planerade att spela in albumet på ett helt annat ställen än i EMI Studios i London?

THE BEATLES – REVOLVER (5CD DELUXE BOX).

PaulMcCartney.com:
The album sessions that turned into Revolver were originally planned at Stax Studio in Memphis with Jim Stewart producing, but it ended up being recorded at EMI. Do you think Revolver would have been a completely different album if you had gone that way?

Paul:
It could have been – the only reason you want to record in those kind of studios is because you love the records that come out of the studios. So, we loved a lot of Stax stuff but ultimately I’m glad we didn’t record there. 

EMI was our home, and we didn’t have to deal with anything other than making the record. If you’re in a strange studio there’s things you got to deal with, as you’re getting used to the new surroundings and so on. At EMI we knew the space and the people, so it was just a case of concentrating on making the record. 

PM.com:
Famously, Revolver was the first Beatles album that couldn’t be played live as so much of it relied on the EMI studio technology – do you think the record might have sounded more ‘live’ if you had done it at Stax? 

Paul:
It could have, yeah. In a different circumstance we might not have felt we could take as much time with the record. EMI was always home, so it was easy to push boundaries and get creative. We didn’t have to think about it! And the really great thing about EMI, let’s not forget, was that it had instruments lying around. There was the Mrs Mills Piano, the sound effects cupboard, a harpsichord, a celesta, the Lowrey organ (which I used on the next album Sgt. Pepper, on ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’) – this stuff was all there. A Mellotron, even! EMI was definitely the best place for us.
