Revolution 1 was the first song recorded for the White Album, also opening, ironically, the last side for the album. Lennon created two other versions of the track, the rocking and faster B-side Revolution and the avant-garde piece Revolution 9. Revolution 1 was John's first heavily politically charged song since Brian Epstein's death, who strongly advised the band against political statements. Here's John talking about the song in Rolling Stone Magazine, 1970 : "I wanted to put out what I felt about revolution. I thought it was time we f*****g spoke about it, the same as I thought it was about time we stopped not answering about the Vietnamese war when we were on tour with Brian Epstein and had to tell him, ‘We’re going to talk about the war this time, and we’re not going to just waffle.’ I wanted to say what I thought about revolution." Lyrically, both Revolution 1 and the single-released Revolution are very similar apart from a last minute verse mentioning Chairman Mao on the faster version, and the omission of "count me out, *in*" in that same version, which Lennon put in since he was uncertain of the position he wanted to take. John wrote the song in India, and later brought it to the studio on May 30th for the band's first session for the White Album. 16 attempts were recorded, with Ringo on drums, John on acoustic guitar and vocals and Paul on piano. John apparently cranked the volume as high as he could for his guitar part, which caused the amp to leak in every microphone. Geoff Emerick recalls him telling John to lower the volume, and Lennon talking back to him : "Look, the reason I've got my amp turned up so high is that I'm trying to distort the shit out of it. [...] Come on, get with it, Geoff. I think it's about bloody time you got your act together." Lennon also brought in Yoko for the first time in the studio, which only aggravated the unusual tensions in the studio. May 30th's final attempt, Take 18, was chosen as best despite its unusual length of over 10 minutes. The full take was later released on the 2018 boxset for the White Album. Recording continued on the following day, where John rerecorded his vocals and Paul overdubbed a bass part. John redid his vocals again on June 4th, while lying on the floor as seen in many pictures. An impressive amount of various overdubs were also made through June 4th's session, : backing vocals (by John, Paul, George, Paul's girlfriend at the time Francie Schwartz and possibly Yoko), a lead guitar part (George) and another drum track by Ringo. The song was finally completed on June 21st, with two trumpets and 4 trombones overdubbing a brass part possibly written by George Martin, along with a final electric guitar part by George. An 11 minute version of the track featuring even more overdubs such as more guitar from John and various percussion and sound effects was bootlegged later on in 2009.
