Hey Jude (original championship: The Beatles Again ) is a 1970 drove of non-album singles and B-sides past the Beatles. Originally released in the United States and various other markets, but non in the United Kingdom, it included "I Should Have Known Improve" and "Tin can't Buy Me Love", two singles released by Capitol Records whose merely previous American album advent had been on the A Hard Mean solar day'south Night soundtrack album, which had been released past United Artists Records. The Hey Jude LP has been out of print since the late 1980s, although it remained available on cassette during the 1990s. The album was issued on CD for the offset time in 2014, as an individual release and in a box set titled The U.S. Albums.

History [edit]

The Hey Jude album was conceived by Allen Klein and Apple Records. Klein had negotiated a more lucrative contract for the Beatles with Capitol Records in 1969 which required 1 compilation album per year.^[5] He directed Allan Steckler of ABKCO/Apple to work on one. Steckler chose songs that had not appeared on a Capitol album in the U.s. and that spanned the group'due south career. He likewise focused more on contempo singles than on before material. The absence of the songs from a U.s. Capitol album was partially a upshot of the Beatles' unwillingness to include single releases on their contemporaneous albums, partially a event of their arrangement with United Artists in 1964 and partially due to the habit of Capitol Records of recompiling the Beatles' British releases for local markets until 1967. Steckler chose not to include the original Parlophone single version of "Honey Me Do"; "A Hard Day's Nighttime", which had been released as a single by Capitol and was available on the United Artists soundtrack album; "I'm Down", which was the B-side of "Help!"; and "The Inner Light", the B-side of "Lady Madonna". He likewise overlooked "From Me to Y'all", "Misery", and "There's a Place", which were first issued in the US by Vee Jay Records but had non yet been issued on a Capitol album. "Sie Liebt Dich", a German-language version of "She Loves You lot", and the single version of "Get Back" were also passed over. (The single version of "Let It Be" and its B-side, "Y'all Know My Name (Wait Upwardly the Number)", had even so to be released.)

Steckler and Apple had become disappointed with the Capitol Records release schedules and determined to promote the new album themselves. Steckler also took the tapes to Sam Feldman at Bell Sound Studios for mastering, rather than delivering them to Capitol. He would practice this for several releases thereafter.

Originally, the album was to be called The Beatles Again. Shortly before the record was released, however, the title was changed to Hey Jude in club to promote the inclusion of the summit-selling song that led off side two. The title change occurred after the record labels were printed, and an untold number of copies of the LP were sold with labels with the title The Beatles Once again. This was also true for cassette copies of the album, which retained the original title. Neither the front nor the back of the anthology jacket displayed the record's title (or the proper noun of the band), just near copies were sold in a jacket whose spine read Hey Jude. In an attempt to clear up whatever confusion acquired by the preprinted labels, initial copies of the anthology displayed a sticker on the comprehend bearing the title Hey Jude. The edition of the album with "The Beatles Again" label diameter catalogue number SO-385 on the characterization but non on the jacket. This is because of a similarly timed decision to reduce the price from $6.98 (SO- prefix) to $5.98 (SW- prefix). The record jacket was prepared belatedly enough so that it lists the catalogue number equally SW-385. The SW-385 catalogue number appears on the label of later pressings that bear the championship Hey Jude on the characterization.

Klein authorised the release of the album as a sales buffer during post-production of the delayed Let It Be album. In 2007 Neil Aspinall claimed that the back cover was supposed to be the front end cover and vice versa but that Klein had reversed them in error.^[vi] However, at least three image embrace designs are known to exist, with the earliest of those showing the photos "reversed": the art department seemingly made the conclusion that the photo that at present appears on the front cover was better suited for that purpose. The front and back cover pictures were taken at the last-ever Beatles photo session, on 22 August 1969, at John Lennon'southward home Tittenhurst Park by Ethan Russel.

Release [edit]

The compilation was released in many countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Spain, Germany, France, Greece, Japan, Mexico, Venezuela and most of South America. Information technology was also available to other countries as an "export" from Britain (Parlophone/Apple tree CPCS-106) but was not at offset issued in United kingdom, although it was a popular import to the UK. The outset consequence in New Zealand was on the gloss blackness Apple label with the catalogue number CPCS-106. The matrix numbers were identical to those on the UK "export" issue. Because of its popularity worldwide, EMI issued Hey Jude in Britain on the Parlophone label on eleven May 1979 (catalogue number PCS 7184). Until the release of 1967–1970 in 1973, Hey Jude was the just way to own the extremely popular "Hey Jude" single on LP or in a stereo mix. The songs "Pelting", "Lady Madonna" and "Revolution" were also kickoff mixed for stereo specifically for this album. Prior to the release of the "Get Dorsum" single in the bound of 1969, all Beatles singles were issued in mono in the The states. Several other countries adopted the original The Beatles Again title. Of these, the Spanish release omitted "The Ballad of John and Yoko", due to that vocal having been accounted offensive. (In addition to making repeated mention of Christ and crucifixion, the lyrics incorporate the line "Gibraltar about Spain" at a time when Espana's Franco administration was contending with the UK over the ownership of Gibraltar.)

On the reel-to-reel and cassette tape releases, sides ane and 2 are reversed. Although it is clear on the vinyl version that "Hey Jude" opens side 2, when compiling this event for audio tape, some compilers (at Capitol and Ampex) thought to make the change, which resulted in "Hey Jude" leading off the album. This was done because side two was the longer side, and it was the practice in some tape formats to atomic number 82 the anthology with the longer side to avoid a large gap in the "middle" of the tape. The 4-rails tape, prepared by Ampex forth with the reel-to-reel tape, has the songs in the original, chronological order. (The viii-track tape was treated to the usual re-ordering that viii-tracks received.)

The CD era saw the standardisation of the Beatles' discographies worldwide, and for many years the Hey Jude album was not available in that format. In January 2014, Hey Jude was issued on CD both individually and in an American Beatles album compilation box ready titled The U.S. Albums.^[vii]
