Hey Jude (original title: The Beatles Once more ) is a 1970 collection of non-album singles and B-sides by the Beatles. Originally released in the United States and various other markets, but non in the United Kingdom, it included "I Should Take Known Amend" and "Can't Purchase Me Love", 2 singles released by Capitol Records whose only previous American album appearance had been on the A Difficult Day's Dark 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 first time in 2014, as an individual release and in a box ready titled The U.S. Albums.

History [edit]

The Hey Jude album was conceived by Allen Klein and Apple Records. Klein had negotiated a more than lucrative contract for the Beatles with Capitol Records in 1969 which required i compilation anthology per year.^[five] He directed Allan Steckler of ABKCO/Apple to piece of work on i. Steckler chose songs that had not appeared on a Capitol anthology in the United States and that spanned the group'due south career. He besides focused more on recent singles than on earlier material. The absence of the songs from a US Capitol album was partially a consequence of the Beatles' unwillingness to include single releases on their contemporaneous albums, partially a consequence 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 unmarried version of "Love Me Exercise"; "A Hard Solar day'due south Night", which had been released every bit a single past Capitol and was available on the United Artists soundtrack anthology; "I'g Down", which was the B-side of "Assist!"; and "The Inner Light", the B-side of "Lady Madonna". He also overlooked "From Me to Y'all", "Misery", and "There's a Identify", which were commencement issued in the Us by Vee Jay Records just had not nevertheless been issued on a Capitol album. "Sie Liebt Dich", a German-language version of "She Loves You", and the single version of "Get Back" were also passed over. (The unmarried version of "Allow It Be" and its B-side, "You Know My Name (Await Upwards the Number)", had yet to be released.)

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

Originally, the album was to be chosen The Beatles Once again. Presently earlier the record was released, however, the title was changed to Hey Jude in order to promote the inclusion of the elevation-selling song that led off side two. The championship 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 likewise true for cassette copies of the album, which retained the original championship. Neither the front nor the dorsum of the album jacket displayed the tape'south championship (or the proper name of the band), just most copies were sold in a jacket whose spine read Hey Jude. In an endeavour to clear up any defoliation caused past the preprinted labels, initial copies of the album displayed a sticker on the cover bearing the title Hey Jude. The edition of the album with "The Beatles Again" label diameter catalogue number Then-385 on the characterization just not on the jacket. This is considering of a similarly timed decision to reduce the price from $6.98 (So- prefix) to $5.98 (SW- prefix). The tape jacket was prepared tardily plenty so that it lists the catalogue number as SW-385. The SW-385 catalogue number appears on the label of afterward pressings that bear the title 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 encompass was supposed to be the front encompass and vice versa just that Klein had reversed them in error.^[6] However, at to the lowest degree three prototype cover 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 now appears on the front cover was better suited for that purpose. The forepart and back encompass pictures were taken at the final-always Beatles photo session, on 22 August 1969, at John Lennon's dwelling Tittenhurst Park by Ethan Russel.

Release [edit]

The compilation was released in many countries, including the United states, Canada, Australia, Spain, Germany, French republic, Greece, Japan, Mexico, Venezuela and well-nigh of South America. Information technology was likewise available to other countries as an "consign" from Britain (Parlophone/Apple CPCS-106) but was not at outset issued in Britain, although it was a popular import to the Britain. The first consequence in New Zealand was on the gloss black Apple label with the catalogue number CPCS-106. The matrix numbers were identical to those on the UK "consign" effect. Because of its popularity worldwide, EMI issued Hey Jude in Uk on the Parlophone label on 11 May 1979 (catalogue number PCS 7184). Until the release of 1967–1970 in 1973, Hey Jude was the only mode to own the extremely popular "Hey Jude" single on LP or in a stereo mix. The songs "Rain", "Lady Madonna" and "Revolution" were also first mixed for stereo specifically for this album. Prior to the release of the "Get Dorsum" unmarried in the spring of 1969, all Beatles singles were issued in mono in the U.s.a.. Several other countries adopted the original The Beatles Once more title. Of these, the Castilian release omitted "The Carol of John and Yoko", due to that vocal having been deemed offensive. (In improver to making repeated mention of Christ and crucifixion, the lyrics contain the line "Gibraltar near Espana" at a fourth dimension when Kingdom of spain'southward Franco administration was contending with the UK over the buying of Gibraltar.)

On the reel-to-reel and cassette tape releases, sides 1 and ii are reversed. Although it is clear on the vinyl version that "Hey Jude" opens side two, when compiling this issue 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 washed because side ii was the longer side, and it was the practice in some tape formats to lead the anthology with the longer side to avoid a large gap in the "centre" of the tape. The iv-rail record, prepared past Ampex along with the reel-to-reel tape, has the songs in the original, chronological club. (The eight-track tape was treated to the usual re-ordering that eight-tracks received.)

The CD era saw the standardisation of the Beatles' discographies worldwide, and for many years the Hey Jude album was non bachelor in that format. In January 2014, Hey Jude was issued on CD both individually and in an American Beatles album compilation box set titled The U.Southward. Albums.^[7]
