frankly despite being a huge fan i cant listen to this as a song

its just noise

its like things youd hear when youre on an acid trip

As someone who has experimented with lsd, there is nothing bout this track that would have made any trip worthwhile. Its boring.

I always have loved 'Revolution 9'.. it's one of my most played songs on that album, only behind "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Ob La Di, Ob La Da". I genuinely like the John and Yoko 'Unfinished Music' albums, too (not much a 'Wedding Album' fan, though).

This really doesn't have any replay value.

Revolution 1, Take 20

Revolution 1 turns into Revolution 9 (kinda)..

Have you ever heard George's Electronic Sound? It's an album consisting of 2 long tracks.

Give me the Proper Revolution b side version anyday.

This..."song" went on and on and on and on...

It was just a collage put together. Even the collages it inspired later sounded better than this did. I think Zappa mocked this song in some portions of We're Only In It for the Money.

There is another song called Carnival Of Light, that was played at a party once, but it was never released. Paul has said several times that he planned to release it. George, Ringo, & Yoko nixed the idea in the 1990's for Anthology. He also mentioned it 2 or 3 years ago, but I guess Ringo, Yoko, and Olivia denied it again.

Nope, never in full.. just a couple minutes of it. It sounds interesting, though.. I'd like to buy it and put it on my mp3 player rather than listen on YouTube, but I think it's out of print and expensive..

Love the White Album. Wouldn't be the same without this track on it!

I do like The White Album, i've trimmed the fat to make a single disc, it's alot better.

George always seemed to ignore the 2 albums before All Things Must Pass. Peter Tork plays on one of the songs from Wonderwall Music.

I recall Paul saying that George vetoed "Carnival Of Light" on Anthology because he didn't like avant garde or experimental music..

Wonderwall Music is a great album.. this was my first time hearing it. It sounds a lot like George's beatles songs from Revolver onward, only mostly instrumental..

Wonderwall is actually a soundtrack. Paul had a soundtrack too called The Family Way, but I think Paul just wrote the music and doesn't play on it. It was released by George Martin.

As a 'song', 'Revolution 9' sucks and is probably easily the worst part of the White Album, but I give credit to the band for doing it as it's another one of those 'ahead of its time/ Beatles did it first' type ideas. If you're in the mood it can be somewhat interesting to listen to- but it's also kinda hellish, sonically.

This is a piece by Yoko Ono that is similar to "Revolution 9", and in my opinion, a lot better. The track is too long to be posted on youtube, so this is only the first half of it. The full track is available on Yoko's soundcloud page..

Listen to the full track on Yoko's soundcloud:

THIS

These:

Hey Jude

Lady Madonna

- it is sooo strange, and a bit surprising these 2 killer songs weren't on the White Album 2LP.

Apperently The Beatles did a lot of Non-album hit singles, in between album releases.

Revolution 1 (The song) is fantastic:

Revolution 9 is noice like mentioned already,

= the only filler on this classic fine White Album.

A historic recording...

I have deleted Revolution 9,

+ included "Lady Madonna" & "Hey Jude" in my iTunes playlist.

It wasn't just The Beatles. It was pretty common at the time for acts to release singles that were separate from albums. The Beatles didn't actually release songs from albums as singles. Capitol & Vee Jay Records did, as many of the albums in the US were different.
