The B-side of the current Beatles non-album single was its second version. The first, slower take was John’s choice to be the very first 45 released on their new Apple label. (That one became “Revolution #1” on the White Album.) But the others vetoed that idea, so the group did a much more uptempo version. It’s really not a pro-revolution song, however. Lennon’s thoughts were it’s all well and good, but maybe we should see the plan first, OK? Certainly this was one of the loudest, hardest rockin’ songs they ever recorded. Nicky Hopkins did the piano solo. Once again John wrote the lyrics, then bent the song’s timing to make them fit.
