Beatles fans still patiently waiting for Paul McCartney to release the bands 1967 sound collage Carnival of Light were surprised by an even better gift this weekend as a 10-minute version of The White Albums Revolution 1″ leaked onto the internet, giving fans a never-before-heard listen of what the White Album sessions must have been like. The track makes it clear why seemingly unrelated Revolution 1″ and the maniacal Revolution 9″ sound collage share the same name: In Revolution 1 (Take 20) John Lennon steers an extended, more experimental version of 1″ to its breaking point, using it as a conduit before launching into the avant-garde 9.
According to the Ateaseweb message board, the song first surfaced on an upcoming, Europe-only bootleg Revolution: Take Your Knickers Off, as nod to Lennon saying Take your knickers off and lets go before Revolution 1 (Take 20) started rolling. As for how the song leaked out, thats an even bigger mystery. According to Mark Lewisohns book The Beatles: Recording Sessions, only two copies of the take were made when recording the song was completed on June 4, 1968. One copy left the studio with Lennon that day, and the other remained behind. Its unclear which copy appears on the bootleg, nor how the Revolution makers even acquired it

The song itself is great but the ending is just more self indulgent crap. No wonder they trimmed off the last 6 min. They should have cut Hey Jude down by half as well.
@crazyspartan678 and mattdake.. You people should take a chill pill. One little mistake I made about the beatles doesn't give you a right to flip out. Jeesh calm down
I have this song on my iPod. It says it's on the white album, titled Revolution 1... I also have the regular faster version of the song so I don't understand why your saying it wasn't relased....
I'm puzzled as to why this did not make it onto the Anthology series that was released in the 90's. This version of Revolution 1 should have been a part of the series.

Other than the fact that this one is almost 6 minute longer, of course.
This is a different version...perhaps actually listening to it would reveal this to you.
