Revolution
(B-side to Hey Jude, 1968)
Lennon’s pacifist response to the ’68 uprisings rocks on Ringo’s atom-blast drums.
Pete Shelley (Buzzcocks): “Revolution was the first Beatles song I really liked. It was the great distorted guitar sound at the beginning that really got me. I had never heard anything like that before. It made me really interested in what you could do with pop music. Hey Jude was the first single I ever bought, in summer 1968 when it came out. I took it home and looked at the sleeve for ages, like you always did with a Beatles single, and then took Hey Jude out and played it several times over. Then I turned it over one day and found this great song on the other side. It was that eureka moment. Revolution made me want to be in a band.”
