Interesting. I know the British releases often differed from the US pressings, did the Parlophone Revolver have different songs, or different mixes, or what?
There may be albums that were better musically, or had better lyrics, but Sgt. Pepper is one of only a couple of albums that I can honestly say changed my life. Weird, isn't it?

It doesn't look like anybody answered your question. The British Revolver had three songs not on the US version -- And Your Bird Can Sing, Dr. Robert, and I'm Only Sleeping. These sonds were shipped to the US before the release of Revolver and included on the patchwork album Yesterday and Today. Those songs feel woefully out of place. The US version of Revolver is excellent. The British version, with those three songs, is a masterpiece.
