The ‘Revolver Turns 60’ Giveaway

Rock & Roll Globe is commemorating the 60th anniversary of The Beatles’ Revolver (released Aug. 5, 1966) with one of the coolest giveaways we’ve ever done.

Fill out this form and get a free John Lennon sticker: 

CLICK HERE TO CLAIM

Drawn by the great Drew Friedman and exclusively licensed by Rock & Roll Globe, we will mail it to you for free in an envelope that uses a rare John Lennon “Forever” stamp from the 2018 collection (while supplies last).

The stamp artwork features the photo of Lennon taken by the great Bob Gruen for the Walls and Bridges album (1974).

Our company accumulated a ton of these stamps during the COVID-19 pandemic when we were trying to lift the world’s spirits by giving readers guitar picks and T-shirts and other stuff.

We got about 30,000 responses, which was amazing, but to our horror we discovered that all that traffic and clicking really benefited Facebook, rather than building lasting readership for the great writing and insights available every single day on RockAndRollGlobe.com.

This time, all we’re asking is that you read a story or leave a comment or like us on Facebook or share an article with a friend. Or check out other stuff we’re into: 

• a book at The Book House
• a song by The Lilacs
• live comedy at No Static
• our Material Issue documentary on Prime and Night Flight
• our hit podcast 

Our small independent media company has chosen a path of real writing and zero AI. If that model has any chance at survival, it’ll be because people with similar values support it.

We have some extra guitar picks, bookmarks and T-shirts lying around so a few lucky ducks will get the sticker and also some extra swag.

Oddly enough, Revolver is probably the least Lennon-influenced of all Beatles albums, at least when considering the North American version. For insane reasons related to record companies not knowing shit and disrespecting artists, Capitol omitted “I’m Only Sleeping,” “And Your Bird Can Sing” and “Doctor Robert” from the version of Revolver released in North America. Those are three of the greatest John compositions ever. And leaving them off also destabilized the record into three George songs, six Paul songs and only “She Said She Said” and “Tomorrow Never Knows” as the remaining Lennon tracks. 

Our giveaway honors the real Revolver, the 14 song Parlophone version, which became the standard version when the album was finally released on CD in 1987.

Thank you for reading Rock & Roll Globe!
