I have been collecting classic rock for years. Never the less, there is particular songs that drives me nuckin futs!!! lol.
I haven't ever been able to get a grasp on the specific version of the song "Revolution."

I have the Live version and acustic version, "Revolution #1". I am now looking for the version commonly played on the radio. The version with no background destractions or acustic. The Beatles playing strictly playing in the studio, perhaps the "Single" version. The version with full guitar and fast pace.

Dose anyone know Album info and the title of this version?

It was only a single. If you want to get it, you'll have to get a greatest hits album or Beatles collection. I recommend "Past Masters Volume II," which has a lot of the singles and B-sides that are not on the albums.

The version on the White Album is the SLOW version. I don't think that is the version you are looking for, despite what everyone here is saying. The fast paced version is JUST called "Revolution."

Revolution is a slower, mellower version of the original revolution.
The first version of "Revolution" to be released (though the last to be recorded) was the B-side of the "Hey Jude" single, released in early September 1968.A product of the recording sessions for The Beatles (aka The White Album), "Revolution" featured distorted guitars and an electric piano solo by session musician Nicky Hopkins. This track is said to be one of the loudest and most aggressive Beatles songs; it begins abruptly with a loud, overdriven electric guitar played by Lennon, a thundering, compressed drum beat from Ringo Starr and a wailing scream from Lennon

"Revolution 1" is the same song as "Revolution" but is performed in a distinctly different style: slower, with less distortion and more emphasis on acoustic instruments (though electric guitar remains a primary component of the track's sound). Lennon performed most of the vocal take lying on his back in the studio, typifying his ongoing search for new ways of recording his vocals.
"Revolution 1" was recorded between 30 May and 4 June 1968, about 6 weeks before "Revolution", but released nearly three months later than the single. Lennon wanted the initial version to be released as a single but the other band members said it was too slow for a single.

"Revolution 9" is a sound collage piece which appeared along with "Revolution 1" on The White Album. It shared no music or lyrics with the released versions of "Revolution" or "Revolution 1." The collage began as a coda for "Revolution 1" but ended up as a separate track. Some elements of the original coda are clearly audible in "Revolution 9", such as Lennon's drawn-out "all right" and repeated screams of "right".

.

Revolution, the slow one, came out after the 45.

The 45 rpm Revolution(as you know, the Beatles did
lots of 45's, and a lot of the songs are not on originally
recorded albums(as opposed to collections).

Revolution, a slow, bluesy version, is on The White Album.
4th side of the double record set.

Revolution, the 45 rendition, is my favorite. It is faster,
more guitar distortion. It's a jam.


Cheers. The Walrus was Paul. Glass Onion.

They released it on "Hey Jude" an album of singles that didn't make it to records. It also has Lady Madonna and the title track on it. I'm not sure if they have translated it to cd's yet, I've got the record.
