BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
“Revolution” is a 1968 song originally recorded by the Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney.
English pop band Thompson Twins covered “Revolution” on their 1985 album Here’s to Future Days, from which it was released as the fourth and final single and includes the non-album track, “The Fourth Sunday” as its B-side. The song peaked at No. 56 on the UK Singles Chart, spending five weeks on the chart. The band made a promotional video for the single version of the song.
