The 7th studio album from The Beatles was released on 5 August 1966 with the double-A-side single “Eleanor Rigby” / “Yellow Submarine”.  The unexpected gift of a 3 month break at the start of ’66, meant that by April of that year they were ready to record their most ground-breaking album yet.  One that would go on to redefine how artists would write and record their songs and, with the help of a uniquely talented producer and engineers willing to find ways to help them realise their dreams, would change the way the world viewed albums as creative works in their own right.  The studio and the advancing recording technology lead to Revolver and the birth of a new era in rock/pop music.

However, there was one area in which technology had failed to advance as far or as fast – that of multi-tracking.  At this time, many instruments and vocal elements were combined or ‘bounced down’ to just 4 tracks in total, which had to become two tracks for the stereo.  The mono album, (from the original mono master tape) which is included in the box set here, was considered by the band and many at the time to be the primary format and how most people would listen to Revolver.  This was easy to mix down from the 4 tracks to create the final album but was not so easy to achieve in stereo.  They could not separate the individual instruments or vocals to allow an authentic stereo field to be created.  The result has always been considered to be the best that could have been done at the time, but not as good as the fans would have loved to be able to hear.

Until now.

Using AI technology developed by Peter Jackson’s Wingnut team to help deliver clear audio for the studio scenes in the Get Back docu series, Giles Martin realised quickly that this could provide a pathway for him to be able to ‘unpick’ those 4 track tapes and to free up the instruments from each other to enable him to attempt what would have been impossible until now.  With help and commitment of time, computing resource and a very clever and committed team, gradually the 4 tracks became multi-tracks and so are now able to release this truly stunning, exciting, ground-breaking REMIX of Revolver.  Finally, we are proud and happy to be able to bring you the mono album…in stereo!!

Additionally, we have the usual high-quality, deeply researched and comprehensive 100-page book featuring the story of the recording of the album, track-by-track, as well as the band’s situation during the year of 1966 and the reaction and subsequent life of the album.  Also, with a personal introduction by Paul McCartney, and one from Giles Martin, this book also features an incredible personal journey into Revolver and beyond from the modern genius of music, Questlove.  Featuring many photos as well as hand-written lyrics and the tape boxes, we are also delighted and proud to be able to include pages from the graphic novel by Klaus Voorman – friend of the band since Hamburg, bass-player and graphic artist in which he tells the story of how he came to be asked to create the Grammy-winning cover and how he created yet another first for this album – the unique cover art created especially for an album.

Stellar information!
Format: Paperback
I bought this book to help with gathering information for a long research paper I was writing for university but I loved this book! From the cultural anthropological history to the braided neuroscience and historical analysis in between, this has become one of my recent favorites. I've even asked for other books written by this author on my Christmas list. Very fascinating read!

Leveling the playing field
Format: Hardcover
It is a not so tightly held secret that the Republicans know how to manipulate emotions for political advantage; with this book Drew Westen levels the playing field by not only providing insight into how emotions are evoked and taken advantage of politically, but also provides evidence-driven suggestions for the Democratic party to follow. The question, of course, is will the Democrats change their electoral strategies taking Dr. Westen's suggestions to heart, or will they follow the failed tactics of the Gore and Kerry campaigns, which relied on consultants following a rational-choice model of politics that prefers watered down political positions and milquetoast candidates in hopes of taking the "center". While some may argue that this book is unethical by advocating the targeting of voters' emotions, instead of their "rational thought process", and thus is supportive of public manipulation, a very strong counter-argument might be made that putting this information in the public domain will help voters inoculate themselves against current Republican strategies which rely on scaring the public and arousing their anger against others using a range of techniques that border on the illegal. Specifically, the "RATS" subliminal advertisement used by the Bush 2000 campaign to attack Gore is, on close scrutiny, a very astute and professional advertisement that takes advantage of knowledge in the academic sphere that humans process information outside of conscious awareness. Specifically, a 1986 article in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology by Fazio et al. provided evidence that not only did the term "RATS" have a negative effect on peoples' evaluation of items presented afterwards, but that further, the term "Reagan" had a weak positive effect. Likewise, both Westen and colleagues and Stewart and Schubert(in Harvard International Journal of Press/Politics, 2006), in separate studies, suggest that the term "RATS" is an effective subliminal. Furthermore, the use of fear/anxiety by the current administration is well established, with studies showing a correlation between changes in the Homeland Security color-coded threat indicator and political tactics. While one might argue over the timing of the Iraq invasion, and whether it was carried out for short-term political expediency, or to address a perceived threat in the region, one cannot argue with the rally effect that bolstered President Bush's ratings to over 90% immediately after 9-11 and over 70% after the Iraq invasion. Knowing that humans respond in predictable ways when different emotions are evoked allows not just politicians, consultants, academics and wonks to understand human behavior, but also will give the average citizen greater awareness of how the emotions evoked affect their decisions and responses. In other words, a more intelligent population may come from a more emotionally astute population.

A compelling counternarrative
Format: Hardcover
"The Political Brain" by Drew Westen is an important contribution to the political science literature in general and an inspiration for Democratic Party supporters in particular. Mr. Westen's knowledge of psychology and the cognitive sciences provides insight into how the individual develops a political consciousness. Showing how the Republican Party has gained advantage by developing an emotionally fear-laden narrative designed to exploit the electorate's psychic sensibilities, Mr. Westen argues that Democrats can and must develop a compelling counternarrative that appeals to the American public's better angels in order to inspire their supporters and win consistently at the polls. The first section discusses the mind, brain and emotion in politics. Mr. Westen draws upon the latest scientific research to explain how emotion is integral to the brain's cognitive function. Mr. Westen recites passages delivered by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Bill Clinton to illustrate how political messages are most effective when they tie issues to emotionally resonant themes and images. Importantly, Mr. Westen also deconstructs the neoliberal ideology of Ronald Reagan to help us better understand the importance of evolutionary psychology and crafting popular messages with curb appeal. The second section provides a blueprint for executing emotionally compelling campaigns. Mr. Westen explores the multiple layers of voter intelligence to reveal how Republicans have successfully used subliminal messaging to activate the public's feelings of anxiety in order to get people to vote against their own material self-interests. The author stresses that when Democratics shy away from conflict, voters instinctively detect weakness; therefore he recommends that Democrats cede nothing and go after issues that many voters tend to perceive as Republican. To that end, Mr. Westen offers a series of principled narratives on contentious issues such as abortion, affirmative action, gay rights and gun control that he believes could easily help the Democrats gain majority support by activating the American voter's sense of fairness, freedom and equality of opportunity. While perhaps not fully convincing on all subjects, Mr. Westen amply demonstrates that a coherent and inspirational counternarrative is possible. Unfortunately, this otherwise excellent book succumbs to a transparent attempt at self-promotion by forcing readers to go to the author's website to read the footnotes. Boo! Yet despite this minor deficiency, I highly recommend this timely and fascinating book to everyone.

Essential reading for Democratic campaign managers
Format: Kindle
For decades it has frustrated me that, while most of the country shares Democratic beliefs over Republican ones, Democrats keep losing elections. Why? Because the very values Democrats hold dear...taking the higher road, trying to stay "above the fray", concentrating on issues over personalities...fail to speak to the emotional brain that makes most voters' electoral decisions. Whether it's the language they use while failing to understand its connotations, over-handling by committees that blunt the message, or simple refusal to debate some topics at all (abortion, gun control, race) thereby defaulting on them to the Republicans, Democrats systematically undermine their own campaigns. Westen's book is must reading for every Democrat who wants to hold public office! Thus, the five stars. On the other hand, Westen makes his point clearly and firmly in the first third of the book, and then beats us over the head with it, taking us point by point through campaigns, tweaking the information endlessly, and frankly, about halfway through I started skimming and eventually put it down. "I get it already!" I thought, and moved on. Also, this is horribly produced ebook. It's obviously scanned from a printed copy and poorly proofread, it at all. When Westen talks about the perception of the word "gull" and how it affects elections, you have to read a bit to understand that it's the word "gun" he's talking about! Words bizarrely split, words run together, bizarre punctuation and misspelling due to OCR errors are rife on every single page. Furthermore, the type looks like bad photocopying with the machine set on "light." Ugly, ugly, ugly. Yet the publisher (Hatchette) charges nearly as much for the ebook as for the print book, which I'm sure looks a lot better. It couldn't look any worse. If I could, I'd rate it "five stars" for the content, downgrade it to "three stars" for being redundant, and finally give it "one star" for being so terribly produced. That first third of the book, though, is so important for Democrats to understand (the Republicans already have a masterful grasp of it) that I went with the "five star" rating.
