In which I play out all the alternate unreleased versions of John Lennon's take on the political world of 1968, through his song Revolution, the b-side of the best selling record the Beatles ever released. This show is about setting the scene, laying the context, in which John created this profound confection of politics, sexuality, and dreams, and which is the most far out music the Beatles ever made as a band.
