The Hey Jude album is one of the biggest selling band compilations ever,
offering a wide range of differing issues for fans to collect and
enjoy. So far I've posted a UK export https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/06/although-initially-released-in-us-this.html and the Brazil true mono version https://monolover.blogspot.com/2013/01/beatleshey-jude-btl-1009-70-mono-brazil.html .
Now it's time for the original. From the beginning a project handeled
by publisher Alan Klein and ABKCO producer Allan Steckler, compiling
songs that hadn't been on any US Capitol albums and then concentrating
on recent 45:s. Originally called "The Beatles Again", which was changed
to "Hey Jude" just before release, leaving them with a large number of
mistitled labels already pressed. That explains the mismatch between
label and the original cover having "Hey Jude" on the spine. Reason
label has an "SO" prefix while the sleeve carries a "SW" is those stood
for retail price and at the same time the name was changed they also
decided to lower that. The variation isn't super rare, but good
to have since it is a guarantee for an early press of the original
issue. And even if the stereo mixes made for this to my taste don't
reach up to the original monos (as issued on the Brazil one), the audio here is so good I can't help
falling in love anyway. Early copies had label as shown here in a fully
laminated cover. (YZÄ*) (BÄ*) (LGÅ*) (ÄPLÄ*)
