Was Revolution #9 actually a cover??

Post by Jim of Seattle »

Recent evidence has come to light that the Beatles' famous sound collage "Revolution #9" was actually a cover of a previously unknown work from the 1930's. Check it out.

You had me going for a while even though I kept thinking to myself this may the worst NPR report ever produced. (the copy needs some serious editing.) :)

I'm glad you posted that, Frankie. I saw this thread and figured it's just some random conspiracy theory and never bothered clicking the link. So you jogged my curiosity, so clicked it. I'm glad I did. Good job Jim. :)

Thanks, I wondered if anyone would actually click on the link. What I hoped I wouldn't have to do was post "Hey, no one clicked on this. It's not real."

I wasn't really trying to fool anyone outright, but I hoped some people would wonder for a moment, and then would be in on it.

FBF< I know it's a terrible NPR story. I originally wanted to do a whole video with talking heads and stuff. I had big plans for this piece. The hope is to make a whole album of piano pieces with compromised mono audio quality. I love that old sound. I'm almost done with a piece which plays Coleman Hawkins' Body and Soul in reverse which will be on the same album, if I ever finish enough of it.

Anyway, this Revolution #9 piece was my project for the last summer.

Yeah, but it was still clever. A little judicious editing and you have a nice little parody piece. And of course, the piano playing was nice.
