The Beatles bola britská rocková skupina z Liverpoolu, ktorá patrí medzi komerčne najúspešnejšie a kritikmi najuznávanejšie kapely v histórii populárnej hudby. Ich tvorba definovala podobu rockovej a popovej hudby 60. rokov.
Album Revolver vyšiel 5. augusta 1966 na vydavateľstve Parlophone a znamenalo zásadný obrat vo zvuku Beatles – skupina intenzívne pracovala so štúdiovými efektmi a rozšírila zvukovú paletu od rockových gitár cez sláčikové kvarteto až po orientálne vplyvy. V časopise Rolling Stone sa album umiestnil na treťom mieste zoznamu 500 najlepších albumov všetkých čias. Toto rozšírené vydanie na piatich CD obsahuje celkom 63 nahrávok, vrátane alternatívnych verzií, štúdiových záberov a mixov skladieb ako Tomorrow Never Knows, Eleanor Rigby či Yellow Submarine. Revolver bol posledným albumom, po ktorého vydaní Beatles nahrávali ako koncertná kapela.
Na albume sa podieľali John Lennon (gitara, spev), Paul McCartney (basgitara, spev), George Harrison (gitara, spev) a Ringo Starr (bicie).
