<P> Revolver is the seventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles . Released on 5 August 1966 , it was the Beatles ' final recording project before their retirement as live performers and marked the group 's most overt use of studio technology up to that time , building on the advances of their 1965 release Rubber Soul . The album 's diverse sounds include tape loops and backwards recordings on the psychedelic `` Tomorrow Never Knows '' , a classical string octet on `` Eleanor Rigby '' , and Indian - music backing on `` Love You To '' .
