Story & Background
"Revolver" is a masterpiece of innovation, and an illuminating anecdote about its production concerns the engineer Ken Townsend and the invention of Automatic Double Tracking (ADT). John Lennon, tired of having to sing the same vocal part twice to achieve a doubling effect, jokingly asked if there wasn't a way to make it sound "come se avesse cantato due volte senza cantare due volte". Townsend devised a system: he recorded the original signal onto a tape recorder, then played it back on a second recorder slightly out of phase. By mixing the delayed copy with the original, he achieved the illusion of a double track. This technique, introduced for "Revolver", became an industry standard.
