edna Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Why Beatles album "Revolver" is called so? I heard something about they were suposed to make a third movie (after HD´sN & Help) that had something to do with it and that finally wans´t done.

Uncle Joe Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 I always just assumed it was a play on words. Revolver being that the record "revolves" around the turntable. Knowing The Beatles though, i guess there must be more to it than that. Great album though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 It was going to be Abracadabra (already taken), then magic circles then Revolver - but you can read all about this and other stuff HERE -on this site -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted September 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Yes, might be that, like they were revolving our minds with that new sound after Rubber Soul, which is also great & avant-garde but remains mostly pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Well, considering the Fool on the hill sees the world spinning round, Bad boy is spinning in a hula hoop, Dear Prudence will look around round and of course you say you want a revolution, well you know, we all want to save the world, It's all too much -the love that's shining all around here.

cosmosis Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Joe is right. A record revolves. Another name they considered was 'Before Geography', a joke on the Stones' Aftermath. It was Ringo's idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
