"did the Parlophone Revolver have different songs, or different mixes, or what?"

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.

Capital Records had a habit of scouring a few songs from every album so they could package more product into another album, thus creating three albums out of two regular albums and a spare single or two.

I finally got around to it. (see above)

I once bought a full set, (vinyl, of course....this being long before they were released on CD) Holland pressing of all the Parlophone editions (which had recording problems...darn it!) and Revolver did exactly as you said.

Went from VERY good to mind blowing.

So glad the CDs went with the real mix.
