Revolver was released 55 years ago this month and its last track was Tomorrow Never Knows, a song unlike anything The Beatles had previously recorded and unlike anything we'd heard before. For us teens it was an indication of where the band and music in general would be heading in the future. Oddly enough, Tomorrow Never Knows was the first song recorded for the album back in April 1966.
The song featured many recording innovations discussed in the video below by Giles Martin, son of George Martin. And don't miss the unusual repetitive drumming by Ringo which must have been difficult to maintain for three minutes.
