Welcome to our weekend competition to compose a cryptic clue to be judged by your fellow contestants. You may enter as many clues as you like, and everyone is welcome, particularly new entrants. Feel free to explain your clue, if you think it will help, or to ask another entrant to parse their clue.

However, please don't comment on the clues before voting closes.

Clues should be posted before 12 noon (UK time) on Sunday, February 20th, when voting opens. Voting closes at 9 p.m. (UK time) the same day.

We haven’t had a long-ish word for a while, so this weekend's challenge is:

REVOLVE (7)
REVOLVER (8)
REVOLUTION (10)
REVOLUTIONARY (13)

Weekend rules: Each entrant has six votes to allocate across any of one to six clues (no fractional votes allowed). For example, the allocation might be 3/2/1 for the top 3 clues, or one vote to each of six clues, and many other allocations are possible. In the event of a tie, the number of first place votes will be taken into consideration (if those are equal, 2nd place votes, etc).

Good luck everybody!

Beatles album gotten using a gun (8)

I know Chris already referenced the Revolver album, but I think this is sufficiently different overall.
