Beatles Release New 'Eleanor Rigby' Video for Revolver Anniversary

To mark the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' landmark album Revolver, a new music video for 'Eleanor Rigby' has been released on the band's official YouTube channel. The song, written and performed by Paul McCartney, was originally released as a double A-side single with 'Yellow Submarine' in August 1966. It marked a turning point in pop music, pioneering experimental sounds and arrangements that moved the Beatles away from traditional rock structures. The track features a distinctive string composition by George Martin. The video uses footage originally created for the 1968 animated film Yellow Submarine. Its pop-surrealist visual style has influenced many creatives, including director Terry Gilliam for the graphics of the cult TV series Monty Python's Flying Circus.
