Notes: Apart from filming "Hey Jude" for "Frost on Sunday" at Twickenham, The Beatles also filmed a promo film for
"Revolution".There were two takes of "Revolution" filmed.The promo was broadcast on "Top of The Pops" on September 19 and in
America on "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" on Oct 13, 1968 .

A remastered version was issued on the Beatles "1+" DVD/Blu-ray.The raw footage of both takes, in excellent quality, has been
bootlegged.The "Smothers Brothers" broadcast is also available in very good quality. Both the UK & US broadcasts are a compile
from both takes using the audio from Take 1.However in "The Beatles Anthology" TV broadcast and DVD it uses the audio from
Version 2.Rumour has it that a third take was also filmed but no proof of this has so far come to light.
