The Beatles (The "White Album") has the slow version, and Past Masters Volume 2 has the fast single version. The White Album had the original, slow version. The fast version was the B-side of the "Hey Jude" single. It first appeared on album on 1970's Hey Jude (aka The Beatles Again), which was a collection of non-album singles. It was later reissued as part of Past Masters Vol. 2.

Basically, think twice before you act. The song was an answer to the crackdown on student protests in Czechoslovakia, the American antiwar effort, and calls around the Western world during 1968 for a revolution against the system and the status quo.

John is giving his view on the world of possibilities.

I think he was referring to the "then current" social revolution which he equivocates with the 8 prior significant history changing revolutions; Jews vs. Romans, Bolshevik, French, American, Turkish, Cuban, Hungarian, and Irish.


It was inspired by the Vietnam War, but what happen in the year 1968 was the counter-culture movement of the early worldwide Civil Rights Movement

(especially in France, Mexico, Robert Kennedy, Brazil, Martin Luther King, Chicago, Vietnam War ragged on, Prague, etc.)

"Revolution" was a song by The Beatles not a album, it was released as a single then it was also put on the Beatles album "The White Album" though Lennon had different versions of the song on the same album too.

There are three different versions of this song, "Revolution" and "Revolution I" essentially being the same song a different tempos, and "Revolution 9" essentially just sharing the title as it is a completely different "song" (and I use that term lightly) by the time it is finished. Here are the recording dates for each:

Revolution 1 (from White Album): May 30-31, June 4 and 21, 1968

Revolution (b-side of Hey Jude): July 9-12, 1968

Revolution 9 (from White Album): May 30, June 6, 10, 11, 20 and 21, 1968

The Beatles did. In 1969, I believe, from the title album "Revolution".

John Lennon sang Revolution.

No One sings it. Its a combination of recordings that John and Yoko put together.
