Editorial Review:
The classic original Beatles studio albums have been re-mastered by a dedicated team of engineers at Abbey Road Studios in London over a four year period utilising state of the art recording technology alongside vintage studio equipment, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. The result of this painstaking process is the highest fidelity the Beatles catalogue has seen since its original release.
Within each CD's new packaging, booklets include detailed historical notes along with informative recording notes. For a limited period, each CD will also be embedded with a brief documentary film about the album. The newly produced mini-documentaries on the making of each album, directed by Bob Smeaton, are included as QuickTime files on each album. The documentaries contain archival footage, rare photographs and never-before-heard studio chat from The Beatles, offering a unique and very personal insight into the studio atmosphere.

Description of Revolver (Remastered):
Revolver wouldn't remain the Beatles' most ambitious LP for long, but many fans--including this one--remember it as their best. An object lesson in fitting great songwriting into experimental production and genre play, this is also a record whose influence extends far beyond mere they-was-the-greatest cheerleading. Putting McCartney's more traditionally melodic "Here, There and Everywhere" and "For No One" alongside Lennon's direct-hit sneering ("Dr. Robert") and dreamscapes ("I'm Only Sleeping," "Tomorrow Never Knows") and Harrison's peaking wit ("Taxman") was as conceptually brilliant as anything Sgt. Pepper attempted, and more subtly fulfilling. A must. --Rickey Wright
Revolver (Remastered) Reviews:
It's The Beatles!!---You Already Know It's Fabulous!! 
2009-12-18 - This marks the 4th and final incarnation of this classic album
that I will buy in my lifetime!
From vinyl (early 80's) to first generation CD (early 90's)
to 2nd generation (first digitized) CD (mid 90's) to 12/09/09...
I played each of these new limited edition (stereo)remasters,
from "Rubber Soul" to "Let It Be", which is my favorite era of The Beatles'
stellar paradigm-changing mid to late 60's output!
As soon as I unwrapped them, I listened to each CD intently 1x, then smoked a
phat joint along with a strong daquiri, then listened down
to them all 3x more!! (-: Brilliantly remastered!
Flawless material to start with, but this go round I felt as if "the lads"
had actually set up camp in my music room and were giving me, just me, their best work in 3-D!!
Every breathe, syllable, finger cymbal, crash & high-hat, snare, toms, guitar lick,
bass riff, string arrangement and every other part is vivid, warm, pure and timeless!
There is no need for me to buy anymore Beatles material after this!
It can't be captured any better! (-:
I was an 18 yr old kid in 1982 when I bought my first Beatles albums on vinyl,
age 26 in 1990 when I bought their first CD versions, age 30 when I bought the first
digital remasters in 1994 at the time of the The Beatles Anthology with
"Free As A Bird", which I now own on DVD.
Now at age 45 in 2009, this is the final frontier and I'm satisfied.
SUMMATION: Great music, great band, timeless, seamless & forever without peer! (-:
I Want to Tell You How Great This Is!
2009-12-13 - My friend has for a long time talked that everyone should own at least one Beatles album. Although I knew it was some kind of joke from him (because he didn't have any Beatles albums) I decided to try one. He had recorded some of the songs for me a long time ago but they didn't feel right then. Now the time was right. This is the first Beatles album I bought. Although many of the songs are not so famous, you probably have heard the songs "Eleanor Rigby" and "Yellow Submarine". At least "Eleanor" is a great song about the lonely people. "Yellow Submarine" is a song which is much different from the other songs which are quite sad, refined, and touching. "Yellow Submarine" is a very happy song. There are other happy songs too but they are not so famous and they are touching...for example "Good Day Sunshine" and "And Your Bird Can Sing". Some of the songs are very touching and I feel like crying when I hear the song "For No One" - what a sad song.
Stars: I'm Only Sleeping, Eleanor Rigby, For No One, Yellow Submarine
You say you want a revolution?
2009-12-13 - While Rubber Soul had a better batch of songs -- and I have to confess a personal affection for the overlooked Beatles For Sale album, the Fab Four's moody, country-rock mini-masterpiece -- Revolver has always seemed to me like the Beatles' greatest record overall, a fine batch of songs married to a highly creative production and their first hard-edged rock-n-roll sound that began to look far into the future instead of back to the past of Carl Perkins and Little Richard. In short, as the best album by rock's greatest band, Revolver deserves six stars, not merely five. Which made me approach the 2009 remaster with particular interest. Is there a difference? You betcha! Right from the cough on the opening count-in to "Taxman", which now sounds like somebody's in your room with you coughing. My wife was actually spooked when I put it on. The rest of the album also has this extra level of sonic detail that somehow makes all of the music seem less tense, more relaxed. For the first time in digital, it sounds truly unforced and natural. A great record gets a little greater.
Inferior to Sgt. Pepper's in every way 
2009-12-12 - I tried to like this one, I really did. But every time I went about listening through Revolver, I felt more inclined to put in Sgt. Pepper's. The album does have a few (not many) strong tracks, namely Eleanor Rigby and the one after that about sleeping. Harrison's contribution sucks in comparison to Within You Witout You. People go on these reviews, blogs, etc. and say how "When I'm 64" is such an embarrasement, but why don't they pop this thing in if they want to hate on something considered a masterpiece. The last track is atrocious in comparison to "A Day in The Life," and overall not a great album, mediocre at best. The best beatles albums are Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Abbey Road, A Hard Day's Night, and Help! respectively. (The latter can be taken for what they are, and what they're not trying to be.) If I wanted to be a helpful reviewer, and not a Beatles kiss*sser, then I would suggest skipping out on this one. It really is more like a 2 1/2, but doesn't deserve to be rounded up to a three. Maybe I'm missing something, I'd love it if someone enlightened me as to why this album is so enlightened. My advice, go with the albums I listed above, most of the rest isn't that good or worth legally purchusing.
Love it!
2009-11-22 - If you love the Beatles, you'll love this remastered recording. You can hear everything so much more clearly than in the original recordings! Great mixing and engineering!
