Produced by [Terry Melcher](/source/Terry_Melcher) and released in 1967, it reached number 25 on the U.S. albums chart and yielded two top 40 [singles](/source/Single_(music)). The album cover photo was taken on the porch of a house located at the corner of East 15th Street and Mississippi Avenue in [Joplin, Missouri](/source/Joplin%2C_Missouri). This album was remastered and rereleased by [Sundazed Music](/source/Sundazed_Music) on November 19, 1996, with bonus tracks. ==Personnel changes== ''Revolution!'' is a transitional album for the band, which underwent a substantial line-up change prior to its release. The rhythm section of Jim Valley, [Phil Volk](/source/Phil_Volk), and [Michael Smith](/source/Mike_%22Smitty%22_Smith) all departed and were replaced, respectively, by [Freddy Weller](/source/Freddy_Weller), Charlie Coe, and Joe Correro, Jr. {{cite book | last1=Rees | first1=Dafydd | last2=Crampton | first2=Luke | title=Rock Movers and Shakers: An A-Z of People Who Made Rock Happen | edition= | publisher=[ABC-CLIO](/source/ABC-CLIO) | pages=427 | location=Santa Barbara, California | year=1991 | isbn=978-0-87436-661-7}} == Critical reception == {{Album ratings | rev1 = [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) | rev1Score = {{Rating|4|5}} }} In a 1967 review, ''[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))'' called the album a "driving package" that should continue the band's "successful chart string." The tracks "[Him or Me – What's It Gonna Be?](/source/Him_or_Me_%E2%80%93_What's_It_Gonna_Be%3F)", "I Had a Dream", "Mo'reen", "Tighter" and "Gone - Movin' On" were named album highlights. {{cite magazine | date=1967-08-17 | title=Album Reviews | magazine=[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine)) | publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc. | volume=79 | issue=33 | page= | issn=0006-2510}} [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic)'s Jack Rabid wrote: "If not as consistently a knockout as ''[Spirit of '67](/source/The_Spirit_of_'67_(Paul_Revere_%26_the_Raiders_album))'', ''Revolution!'' is nevertheless right on its heels, containing as it does an even greater degree of pop experimentation within the form." Rabid described singer and songwriter [Mark Lindsay](/source/Mark_Lindsay) as a "minor marvel" and "the glue that holds what would have been a willy-nilly collection together." {{cite web | last=Rabid | first=Jack | url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r47839|pure_url=yes}} | title=''Revolution!'' - Review | publisher=[AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) | date= | accessdate=2011-07-07}} ==Original track listing== All songs written by Mark Lindsay and Terry Melcher. ===Side 1=== # "[Him or Me – What's It Gonna Be?](/source/Him_or_Me_%E2%80%93_What's_It_Gonna_Be%3F)" — 2:50 # "Reno" — 2:24 # "Upon Your Leaving" — 3:12 # "Mo'reen" — 2:30 # "Wanting You" — 2:52 # "Gone - Movin' On" — 2:34 ===Side 2=== # "I Had a Dream" — 2:20 # "Tighter" — 1:59 # "Make It with Me" — 3:07 # "Ain't Nobody Who Can Do It Like Leslie Can" — 2:19 # "I Hear a Voice" — 2:49 ==[Sundazed Music](/source/Sundazed_Music) 1996 version== # "Him or Me – What's It Gonna Be?" — 2:50 # "Reno" — 2:24 # "Upon Your Leaving" — 3:12 # "Mo'reen" — 2:30 # "Wanting You" — 2:52 # "Gone - Movin' On" — 2:34 # "I Had a Dream" ([Isaac Hayes](/source/Isaac_Hayes), Lindsay, Melcher, [David Porter](/source/David_Porter_(musician))) — 2:20 # "Tighter" — 1:59 # "Make It With Me" — 3:07 # "Ain't Nobody Who Can Do It Like Leslie Can" — 2:19 # "I Hear a Voice" — 2:49 # "Ups and Downs" — 2:49 (Bonus track) # "Try Some of Mine" — 2:45 (Bonus track) # "Legend of Paul Revere" — 3:49 (Bonus track) ==Personnel== *Guitars: [Keith Allison](/source/Keith_Allison), [James Burton](/source/James_Burton), Glen Campbell, [Jerry Cole](/source/Jerry_Cole), Ry Cooder, [Mike Deasy](/source/Mike_Deasy),
