So much to say about the final track: "Tomorrow Never Knows" on "Revolver" in 1966. The pioneering use of 'Tape Loops' and 'Techniques'. Harrison's Sitar playing is brilliant. Thanks, Beatles Bible ... I'm listening right nowđââď¸đ§

And remember: The title of the song was inspired by Ringo, after the following conversation: -Do you think we will manage to finish all this stuff tomorrow? Ringo: "I'm not sure, tomorrow never knows".

And music history was made. They never looked back during this time. Only forward . We , those who grew up during this time , were so very fortunate to experience this music !

This song is beyond epic. Psychedelic rock at its peak...while psychedelic rock hardly existed then. If it existed at all.

đ ON THIS DAY: Recording: Tomorrow Never Knows (1966)
Studio Three, EMI Studios, Abbey Road
Producer: George Martin
Engineer: Geoff Emerick
The first session for The Beatlesâ Revolver took place on this day, with three takes of John Lennonâs remarkable âTomorrow Never Knowsâ.
The session took place in studio three at EMI Studios, Abbey Road, and began at 2.30pm. At this time the song had the working title âMark Iâ.
Although quite different from the final version of âTomorrow Never Knowsâ, âMark Iâ represented a huge leap forward in recording terms for The Beatles. Take one, which was released on 1996âs Anthology 2, sounded quite unlike anything the group had done before â and, indeed, bore little resemblance to contemporary music in general.
6 April 1966 was primarily spent on the songâs rhythm track and vocals. The basis of the final version of âTomorrow Never Knowsâ was take three, the last of the dayâs attempts.
The rhythm track contained Ringo Starrâs drums, Paul McCartneyâs bass guitar and George Harrisonâs tambura. Lennon then added his lead vocals, which were fed through a Hammond organâs Leslie speaker during the second half.
"It meant actually breaking into the circuitry. I remember the surprise on our faces when the voice came out of the speaker. It was just one of sheer amazement. After that they wanted everything shoved through the Leslie: pianos, guitars, drums, vocals, you name it!" â Geoff Emerick, The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, Mark Lewisohn
The songâs various tape loops and effects were added on 7 April, and a final overdub containing more vocals, guitar, organ, tambourine and piano was made on 22 April.
