@MrJemmyJoe rumors say 66 when people screw years up that makes me angry you would not like me angry PS i dont believe the rumor but it is a little fascinating
I prefer Frank Zappa's "We're Only in it for the Money" or even "Lumpy Gravy". Many late 60's musicians saw what was coming as studio technology advanced, but only a few artists (like Zappa, John Cage, or Terry Riley) anticipated the changes, but still created something listenable while doing it. Without the Beatles brand, Revolution #9 doesn't have much going for it (ymmv).
It appears that one or more of the lads discovered a new synthesizer sound and sprinkled...er... poured it all over the recording. Not bad for a minute or so, but it gets very grating and ultimately unbearable by the end of the song. No wonder it has languished in the vault all this time. I'll keep getting off just fine to the two versions we already have.
This is what REVOLUTION #9 should have been...the songs together, and just with a little more overdubbing. This is my favorite Beatles song...this song. I guess this is what Yoko is talking over on the KINFAUSE TO CHAOS bootleg.
@anti666luv No, this is the full length version of, "Revolution 1", which is where John got some of the elements to create, "Revolution 9", from! The reason 9 had the word Revolution in the title at all was because so much of THIS version of "Revolution 1" ended up as the basis for 9.
I previously supposed that that whiney sound was George's synthesizer, but I now have to wonder if they'd actually been experimenting with Godley & Creme's Gizmotron to get those sounds. Was it invented by then?
Now this makes sense, this explains the two unrelated songs, and this one sounds awesome. This take should have been used instead of revolution 1 and 9, and placed it as the sole Revolution song
@BeatleVids because revolution 9 is a collection of different rare tapes in 1968 combined some unknown but it used most of they're sound effect from this tape specifically like 25% out of ALL those little parts of those tapes
@sjdrifter72, I 100000% agree with you. I've been a fan of it for years! I listen to it forwards and backwards and it's never the same. I always hear something new.
♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧ The concept of Man-made GLOBAL WARMING has been humiliated, so let's destroy the free world's industrial & agricultural base, & thus starve to death a billion people of the 3rd world, in the name of CLIMATE CHANGE.
I actually find this version of the song more interesting than the single. it's a perfect transition into revolution 9. Just listen to Take 20, and then Revolution 9.
I love Revolution, never been a big fan of Revolution1 or Revolution 9. This would have been a great counterpoint to Hey Jude as the B-side with the same long fade-out (mama-papa vs nah nah nah nah, hey Jude). Like a lot of their out-takes, makes you realize what a wealth of material they had to choose from.
I've heard a really low generation version of this on a bootleg that a friend of mine had back in the early 80's. He was a big Beatles bootleg collector. So the only big find here is this much better sounding version of it and with more banter at the beginning. Not to play this down. It's just that this version has been known and heard for quite some time now.
This is such a revelation [sic] - been dying to hear this full length extended version and now I've heard it, it's absolutely fascinating and gloriously deranged. To be honest Revolution 9 is garbage - and if Lennon had instead kept this full 10+ min version on the album, then there wouldn't be any need for RV.9. Only disappointment is that the final few minutes didn't descend into complete and utter feedback-drenched chaos with lots of screaming from Lennon as I was led to believe it would....
@sjdrifter72 but.....it's just dull! The first three or four minutes are interesting but then it just goes nowhere. And I am a huge Beatles fan too. This extended take of Revolution 1 is much better imo! :)
@busterabcat that's your opinion.. you're entitled to it as I am to mine. It took me a while to appreciate Revolution 9 but today I just love it.. as crazy as it sounds I'd rather listen to Revolution 9 as opposed to anything that's been churned out by the so called 'music' industry over the past 20 years.
@beatlesfan464 Yes. John, Yoko, and George did this mix after already making what's Revolution 1. John felt it needed to be spaced out on the album though. So he essentially remixed parts into Revolution 9 and added some to Revolution 1. The band then recorded a faster, heavier version for the single, simply called Revolution. Essentially, this is the heart of three songs.
sorry jackbwise. if u like this version thats cool. everybody is entitled to their own opinion. i think george martin was a brilliant producer who was able to capture the best bits and edit them into sharp focus. even the original long version of helter skelter is quite boring. the album version is far superior. sometimes less is more.
I used to play Revolution 9 backwards. Very haunting sounds. Iwas relly into the whole "Paul is dead" thing and the sounds of a car crash and someone yelling "Let me out, let me out" are clearly heard when played backwards. Also, the repeating "number 9, number 9" backwards sounded like "turn me on, dead man".
The Beatles themselves were like other men, but the music and lyrics channeled through them contained magic and hidden messages. To learn how to perceive these hidden meanings, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read through the section about The Beatles.
Thank you for posting this, one of the "grails" of Beatles fans everywhere! Now I'll be greedy and wish to hear Takes 18 and 19, from which this is derived!
Unfortunately, Lewison's recording sessions book, while incredibly informative on the whole, is lacking, or vague in many ways. For example, I'm assuming that John's re-recordings of his vocal were essentially for just the first 4 minutes, and that he and Yoko's and vocals thereafter were done during the original session, take 18.. Anyone?
Ringo had said my leg keeps getting caught on my trousser's... John Lennon said take them off ... the recording engineer came up with the ad lib before take twenty....
If anyone is wondering what John was trying to accomplish with Rev. #9 below is a quote from him from an interview in 1971-1-21 issue of a magazine called "The Mole"
Rev#9 was supposed to be the sounds of a revolution. John thinks it was a fail.
"There was a third version that was just abstract, musique concrete, kind of loops and that, people screaming. I thought I was painting in sound a picture of revolution -- but I made a mistake, you know. The mistake was that it was anti-revolution."
I can definitely see where Revolution 9 comes from now. Still a bunch of drug induced rambling though that John and Yoko thought as artistic. It's very interesting to hear this! It really ties things together where you can see where they were coming from. But even in 1968 I hated that side of the album because Revolution 9 was nothing but noise and you'd have to skip over it. The whole album was great except for that. Just my opinion. Others call it art and that's fine.
@twinflame93 You might be thinking of Carnival of Light which was an earlier piece they all worked on, which gave R9 it's influence. They all worked on that piece, it was never used.
Then Lennon, Harrison and Yoko all worked on Revolution 9.
Paul was annoyed as they had worked on Carnival of Light which was a very similar concept and that was scrapped. Then Lennon, Harrison and Ono all go off and record this piece which McCartney had been interested in, you can see why he'd be annoyed.
@MrHarryGlitter yes he was he clearly said the telegraph at one point and later after john says the twist paul says alderon XD wait isn't that word later used in star wars
Revolution now against US banks. They admit to forging thousands of documents that allowed them to take back property for the very people they had no business giving loans to in the first place. They new all along the government had their backs. Next they screwed American military men and women. While they were dying to preserve freedom, they were milking US service families into bankrupsy, while you sat here and wrote the stupid comment about LSD, and did not. You ass.
This is a mashup IMHO. It may be a different mix, but it's clearly from original bootleg and album takes of #1, #9 and more - it mostly sounds like a 3rd party did a remix of, added in some other garbage (Vuvuzela-like sound). Much of the sound is original - but no proof exists that it was even all one piece as it's propped up here. Digital multitrack software can do amazing things... not hard to put out something like this at all.
@LAMusicworks Wrong. this is completely legit. The 'vuvuzela' distorted guitar sound was already present in Revolution 9. Previous bootlegs featured this track but with Yoko's annoying commentary running through it. No way is this a fake. The only question is who was responsible for bringing this to light? Thank you, whoever you are. Now give us Carnival of Light and the epic 27:11 length take 3 of Helter Skelter.
If they stayed together they might have taken their music to another level. If they had reunited who knows. We will never know. Nice going Mark David Asshole.
The Beatles never made it to where they were inevitably headed; serious contenders to the avant-garde of Pink Floyd. Knowing now that Revolution 1 and 9 should have been kept in their entirety back to back is proof that they were coming closer to breaking further intellectual ground. The last album, Abbey Road, was superb, but it was really only the beginning of a style that could have been much more revolutionary. Just imagine if they kept going there may have been an album rival to The Wall.
@rwfmade The Wall? I know its a matter of opinion, and I do respect your opinion on this matter, but just for the record I would put the wall kinda far down on the list of great 'Floyd albums. Animals... DSOTM, Wish you were here... I just think the wall has a bit too much pretense at intellectual masturbation, whereas the other albums are mind blowing musical compositions. Just one man's opinion.
@flylotusfly see when you say masturbation i think of The Beatles, because they would get high and goof around and come up with this great stuff. i love it more than just about anyone, but it is masturbation. Floyd had an idea behind it that followed through. in The Wall there are consistent motifs and codas referred to throughout that psychologically have a stronger effect as whole piece. the themes and associations are collective, and Waters had a concept behind the album.
I always liked the slower version (Revolution 1) as opposed to the fast version, if only slightly. I really like this version of this song,,,Longer, and more stuff going on. The mumbling and other effects will surely add new life to the Paul Is Dead rumors.
@kenfig It's a loop John made of the Beatles singing a high note together. On the 'Yoko diary tape' bootleg, you can hear John and the engineer setting up that loop so he can fade it in whenever.
@SecretTimeWarp I see, as long as youre sure we are both speaking of the same thing ; it sounds very much like one note of a brass horn doesnt it, especially on the first appearance and not unlike the horn blasts at the end bit of Strawberry fields (the last minute coda i mean). Its not on the master of no1 either is it ? ; i think it was mixed out
@kenfig No, it's not on the album version. (I've actually heard two explanations for the loop - one that it was the Beatles singing a high note, another that it was a looped high guitar note. No idea which is true.)
@SecretTimeWarp Yes, we first had the album for Christmas 1968 my brother and i and since then ive had 4 issues : the mono vinyl album, the stereo same in the 70s, the cd in the 90s and the Mono cd as part of the boxed mono set last year.Personally i like this very much, i mean this 10 minute mix and i also like no 9.I disagreed with Marc Lewishon in his book Beatles Recording Sessions, a great book cos he said fans were split over no 9, either hating it or trying to understand it ; i understood
How could anyone possible think this is fake (besides Apple confirming it was real)? Where the hell would the extra "shooby doo wah"s and Yoko vocals come from?!
i hear parts from revolution 9 like right that backwards is get me out and pauls weird screaming but since right backwards is get me out thats why they said it in revolution9
This is to me, the BOMB! This IS what i've been waiting for all these years(decades),Revolution 1 before(pre)all the overdubs,including all the brass?&or woodwind?overdubs.AND we finally find out the connection between Revolutions1&9!
The one thing this proves is that Paul died in a car accident in 1967 and was replaced by an imposter.

This is a mashup IMHO. It may be a different mix, but it's clearly from original bootleg and album takes of #1, #9 and more - it mostly sounds like a 3rd party did a remix of, added in some other garbage (Vuvuzela-like sound). Much of the sound is original - but no proof exists that it was even all one piece as it's propped up here. Digital multitrack software can do amazing things... not hard to put out something like this at all.
LAMusicworks 9 months ago
@LAMusicworks Wrong. this is completely legit. The 'vuvuzela' distorted guitar sound was already present in Revolution 9. Previous bootlegs featured this track but with Yoko's annoying commentary running through it. No way is this a fake. The only question is who was responsible for bringing this to light? Thank you, whoever you are. Now give us Carnival of Light and the epic 27:11 length take 3 of Helter Skelter.

The Beatles never made it to where they were inevitably headed; serious contenders to the avant-garde of Pink Floyd. Knowing now that Revolution 1 and 9 should have been kept in their entirety back to back is proof that they were coming closer to breaking further intellectual ground. The last album, Abbey Road, was superb, but it was really only the beginning of a style that could have been much more revolutionary. Just imagine if they kept going there may have been an album rival to The Wall.

@rwfmade The Wall?? White Album heads and tails in quality above it. Pink Floyd are great but in a pink floydy way. No comparison to the Beatles.
franyafranya 9 months ago
@rwfmade The Wall? I know its a matter of opinion, and I do respect your opinion on this matter, but just for the record I would put the wall kinda far down on the list of great 'Floyd albums. Animals... DSOTM, Wish you were here... I just think the wall has a bit too much pretense at intellectual masturbation, whereas the other albums are mind blowing musical compositions. Just one man's opinion.
flylotusfly 9 months ago
@flylotusfly see when you say masturbation i think of The Beatles, because they would get high and goof around and come up with this great stuff. i love it more than just about anyone, but it is masturbation. Floyd had an idea behind it that followed through. in The Wall there are consistent motifs and codas referred to throughout that psychologically have a stronger effect as whole piece. the themes and associations are collective, and Waters had a concept behind the album.

Not in this song but you're not far off - Lennon's lyrics to a song, also off The White Album "Julia".
Another memorable lyric from that song is "When I cannot sing my heart / I can only speak my mind..."

I always liked the slower version (Revolution 1) as opposed to the fast version, if only slightly. I really like this version of this song,,,Longer, and more stuff going on. The mumbling and other effects will surely add new life to the Paul Is Dead rumors.

What is that disturbing drone that first appears at 1:48 and then more frequently ??
kenfig 11 months ago
@kenfig It's a loop John made of the Beatles singing a high note together. On the 'Yoko diary tape' bootleg, you can hear John and the engineer setting up that loop so he can fade it in whenever.
SecretTimeWarp 11 months ago
@SecretTimeWarp I see, as long as youre sure we are both speaking of the same thing ; it sounds very much like one note of a brass horn doesnt it, especially on the first appearance and not unlike the horn blasts at the end bit of Strawberry fields (the last minute coda i mean). Its not on the master of no1 either is it ? ; i think it was mixed out
kenfig 11 months ago
@kenfig No, it's not on the album version. (I've actually heard two explanations for the loop - one that it was the Beatles singing a high note, another that it was a looped high guitar note. No idea which is true.)
SecretTimeWarp 11 months ago
@SecretTimeWarp Yes, we first had the album for Christmas 1968 my brother and i and since then ive had 4 issues : the mono vinyl album, the stereo same in the 70s, the cd in the 90s and the Mono cd as part of the boxed mono set last year.Personally i like this very much, i mean this 10 minute mix and i also like no 9.I disagreed with Marc Lewishon in his book Beatles Recording Sessions, a great book cos he said fans were split over no 9, either hating it or trying to understand it ; i understood

Those screams of Yoko are really annoying! Can't stand 'em. Otherwise, this version is wonderful.

@ealiagac Yoko's not screaming on this. The repeated noise is a loop of the Beatles going "AAAAAAAH!".
