Beatles Nearly Made ‘Revolver’ With Stax’s Jim Stewart. A newly-seen letter written by George Harrison in 1966 reveals that the Beatles planned to record their landmark ‘Revolver’ album at Stax Studios — not with producer George Martin, but with Jim Stewart, the man behind some of their favourite soul artists, notably Otis Redding.

Beatles Nearly Made ‘Revolver’ With Stax’s Jim Stewart

It was already known that the group had wanted to record at Stax, and had actually booked a two-week session there in April, 1966. But it was previously thought that they withdrew for security reasons when the local Memphis press reported the fact. Harrison’s letter makes clear that the visit was, in fact, cancelled for financial reasons, and mentions Stewart’s specific potential involvement for the first time. The letter, written in May of that year by the Beatles’ guitarist-writer to Paul Drew — a key DJ friend in Atlanta at radio station WQXI — is for sale for $20,000 via Jeff Gold, a rock memorabilia dealer in Los Angeles. Drew became friends with the group and travelled with them on tour in 1964 and ’65.
