CD Notes

Shortly after the Revolver sessions began in 1966, The Beatles were experimenting with tape loops in recording their vocals and instruments backwards, thanks to producer George Martin. For the first time on Compact Disc, we'll examine the highlight of those songs, in detail, played both forwards and backwards---some in their entirety! Songs like Rain, I'm Only Sleeping, Tomorrow Never Knows, Sgt. Pepper Inner Groove, Blue Jay Way, and of course Revolution #9. You'll hear the "Threetles" give us another clue on Free As A Bird, and Paul's backwards recipe on Maybe I'm Amazed, via "The Simpson's" television show.
