Sorry to be so old hat and mainstream, but I just realised how fxxking
good 'revolver' is by the Beatles - I had heard about the
revolutionary techniques used etc. etc. and bought it about a year ago
- but it really is the best thing they ever produced. Started REALLY
listening to it about 3-4 months ago and it is as good as everyone
says - tomorrow never knows is probably 25 years ahead of its time.
