EMI 's Parlophone label released '' Revolver '' on 5 August 1966 , one week before the Beatles began their final North American tour . " I Want to Tell You " was sequenced on side two of the LP between Lennon 's song about a New York doctor who administered amphetamine doses to his wealthy patients , " Doctor Robert " , and " Got to Get You into My Life " , which McCartney said he wrote as " an ode to pot " . For the North American version of '' Revolver '' , however , Capitol Records omitted " Doctor Robert " , together with two other Lennon-written tracks ; as a result , the eleven-song US release reinforced the level of contribution from McCartney and from Harrison
