Revolter is an LSD trip released by The Beatles in 1966. The last semi-coherent album released by the group, Revolter marks the point in the band's career where they transformed from 4 clean-cut Liverpudlian moptops to the grimy hippies seen on the cover of their next album. It was also the last album to have a retarded cousin released by Crapitol Records in the United States. The cover of the album was reportedly drawn by John Lennon's son, Julian. Revolter is also notable for the fact that it was the final Beatles album that Paul McCartney recorded before his tragic death in late 1966.

[edit] Production
The most heart-stopping track on Revolter is the mentally-challenged "Fuscia Tambourine." McCartney said that he threw "Fuscia Tambourine" into the trash shortly after writing it. However, Ringo Starr had been looking through the garbage for lunch, when he discovered it, and decided to sing it. With the help of their production team, the Beatles overdubbed sound effects they recorded by bribing homeless people with heroin.
According to Lennon, some of the psychedelic lyrics of "Paul's Dead Paul's Dead" were taken almost verbatim from an exchange he had with oatmeal spokesman Wilford Brimley in August 1965, while he (Lennon), Harrison and Starr were under the influence of kittens at their rented house in Compton, Los Angeles. During a conversation, Brimley said "I know what it's like to be fed," because he was regularly fed by nurses when he entered the Hospital for complications from diabeetus.
