THE BEATLES Again / Hey Jude 1970 Apple SW-385 Winchester SF Bell Sound EX/VG+
1970 U.S. Apple Records stereo pressing of Hey Jude, catalog SW-385. Labels read “The Beatles Again,” the album’s original working title, while the jacket markets the release as Hey Jude.
This compilation gathers key non-LP singles including “Hey Jude,” “Revolution,” “Paperback Writer,” “Rain,” “Lady Madonna,” “Don’t Let Me Down,” “Old Brown Shoe,” and “The Ballad Of John And Yoko.” A definitive Apple-era U.S. issue produced by George Martin.
