Editing Revolver (Beatles album) (section)

===North American format===
"I'm Only Sleeping", "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "Doctor Robert" were the tracks omitted from Capitol's version of ''Revolver''.{{sfn|Turner|1999|p=99}} In the case of "I'm Only Sleeping", the version issued on ''Yesterday and Today'' was a different mix from that included on EMI's ''Revolver''.{{sfn|Savage|2015|p=318}} Due to the exclusion of the three Lennon tracks, there were only two songs on the Capitol release for which he was the principal writer, compared with three by Harrison and six by McCartney.{{sfn|Rodriguez|2012|p=6}} In Riley's opinion, aside from underplaying Lennon's contribution, his voice is thereby confined to a "sudden swing to the surreal" at the end of each LP side, which distorts the intended mood across the album.{{sfn|Riley|2002|p=182}}

The eleven-song North American LP was the band's tenth album on Capitol Records and twelfth US album in total.{{sfn|Womack|2014|pp=769–70}} The release of ''Revolver'' marked the last time that Capitol issued an altered UK Beatles album for the North American market. When the Beatles re-signed with EMI in January 1967, their contract stipulated that Capitol could no longer alter the track listings of their albums.{{sfn|Rodriguez|2012|p=6}}
