RARE DECCA PRESSING
ORIGINAL 1968 UK APPLE 1ST PRESSING.
RELEASED AUGUST 1968 "HEY JUDE" WAS THE BEATLES FIRST RELEASE ON THEIR NEWLY FORMED APPLE LABEL. IT WAS ORIGINALLY TO BE APPLE 1 BUT BECAUSE THE BEATLES CONTRACT WAS WITH PARLOPHONE IT HAD TO CARRY A PARLOPHONE NUMBER.
AS WITH OTHER BEATLES RELEASES "HEY JUDE" BROKE SOME RULES, AT THE TIME OF RELEASE IT WAS THE LONGEST SINGLE DISC DURATION IN THE U.K...7 MINUTES. 11 SECONDS.
DUE TO HIGH SALES AND EMI'S OTHER COMITTMENTS AT THE TIME SOME COPIES OF THIS SINGLE WHERE CONTRACTED OUT TO PYE, DECCA AND PHILLIPS... THIS COPY IS THE RARE DECCA PRESSING WHICH IS RECOGINSABLE BY THE LARGER GAP AT THE PUSH-OUT CENTRE AND HAVING NO STAMPER LETTERS TO THE RUN OFF GROOVE.
