 The album was the Beatles' final recording project before their retirement as live performers and marked the group's most overt use of studio technology to date, building on the advances of their late 1965 release "Rubber Soul".It has since become regarded as one of the greatest and most innovative albums in popular music, with recognition centred on its range of musical styles, diverse sounds, and lyrical content.The Beatles recorded "Revolver" after taking a three-month break at the start of 1966, and during a period when London was feted as the era's cultural capital.
