\nAll four Beatles liked that name, wrote Barry Miles in his Paul McCartney bio, Many Years From Now. Also considered: Four Sides of the Circle and Fat Man. Ringo, noting that the Rolling Stones had just come out with Aftermath, suggested After Geography. They finally settled on Revolver, because an album spins, man.<\/p>\n
\nUp until the spring of 1966, The Beatles had used a fairly conventional studio technique to make vocals sound richer: double tracking, in which the lead singer would simply record his vocals twice onto different tape tracks. But John Lennon hated doing this. So to accommodate him, EMI engineer Ken Townsend invented \u201cautomatic double tracking,\u201d which allowed one performance to be recorded on two tape machines\u2014with one delayed by about 100 milliseconds, automatically creating a nice, thick sound.<\/p>\n
\nThe Beatles were near the end of their touring days, but not quite. They began a 14-city North America circuit in Chicago on August 12, just four days after Revolver\u2019s U.S. release. But they didn\u2019t feel it was possible to reproduce the album\u2019s technically sophisticated, studio-crafted songs on stage. The most recently recorded track that audiences heard was \u201cPaperback Writer,\u201d the number one hit single they had released on May 30, 1966. The Beatles\u2019 last concert was on August 29, 1966, at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. But nobody outside the band knew it at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
