From Wikipedia:

[…] The original North American LP release of Revolver, the band’s tenth on Capitol Records and twelfth US album, marked the last time that Capitol would release an altered UK Beatles album for the North American market. Since three of its tracks – “I’m Only Sleeping“, “And Your Bird Can Sing” and “Doctor Robert” – had been used for Capitol’s Yesterday and Today compilation in June 1966, they were removed from the North American version, yielding an 11-track album with a running time of 28:20. As a result, there were only two songs for which Lennon was the principal writer, compared with three by Harrison and the rest by McCartney. 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.

The album’s April 1987 release on CD standardised the track listing to the original UK version. Having been available only as an import in the US previously, the 14-track UK version of the album was also issued domestically in the US on LP and cassette in July that year. In January 2014, the Capitol version of Revolver was issued on CD for the first time, both as part of the Beatles’ The U.S. Albums box set and as an individual release.[…]
