The 1968 Beatles Song That Paul McCartney Wanted to Remove from the Album: "Revolution 9"
"Revolution 9", an experimental track from *The White Album* (1968), almost didn't make it onto the album because of Paul McCartney, who tried to remove it. John Lennon created the collage sound with loops, Yoko Ono and avant-garde inspiration. McCartney and George Martin felt it didn't fit with the rest of the album.
Lennon insisted and the track became a symbol of the Beatles' creative daring. One of the band's most divisive songs, which shows their desire to innovate. A complete analysis of the internal controversy that marked the end of the Fab Four's classic era.
