BEATLES "HEY JUDE"
RARE DARK APPLE MISPRESS
ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1ST DARK APPLE EXPORT ISSUE MISPRESS.
"HEY JUDE" DIDNT RECEIVE AN OFFICIAL U.K RELEASE UNTIL 1979, HOWEVER IT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ISSUED FOR EXPORT. THESE EXPORT COPIES WHERE MANUFACTURED IN THE UK BUT WHERE PURELY INTENDED FOR THE EXPORT MARKET.
THE FIRST EXPORT ISSUE APPEARED IN 1970 AND WAS RELEASED ON THE NEWLY DESIGNED BLACK AND SILVER LABELS WHICH FEATURED ONE EMI BOXED LOGO.
THEN AGAIN IN 1970 THE ALBUM WAS ISSUED AGAIN FOR THE EXPORT MARKET BUT THIS TIME IT APPEARED ON THE DARK APPLE LABEL.
THEN IN 1979 ANOTHER EXPORT VERSION WAS ISSUED BUT THIS TIME ON THE NEW LIGHTER GREEN APPLE LABELS.
WHEN THE ALBUM WAS FIRST PRODUCED ON THE APPLE LABEL IT WAS PRESSED WITH TWO LABEL ERRORS, THE FIRST WAS "REVOLUTION" WAS PRINTED AS "REVOLUTIONS" AND "PAPERBACK WRITER" WAS PRINTED AS "PAPER BACK WRITER" (PAPERBACK PRINTED AS TWO WORDS AND NOT ONE). AS USUAL THE ERROR WAS QUICKLY SPOTTED AND RECTIFIED BUT NOT BEFORE SOME COPIES HAD ALREADY BEEN DISTRIBUTED.
OFFERED FOR SALE IN REMARKABLE AND BARELY PLAYED CONDITION IS AN ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE APPLE EXPORT COPY OF "HEY JUDE" WHICH CARRIES THE "PAPER BACK WRITER" LABEL ERROR.

THE VERY DARK GREEN APPLE EXPORT LABELS ARE IN STUNNING AND NEAR MINT CONDITION TO BOTH SIDES. CLOSE INPECTION REVEALS NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO VERY TINY SPINDLE TRAILS TO EITHER SIDE. DISPLAYING DEEP VIVID COLOURING WITH PERFECT TEXT THE LABELS HAVE NOT SUFFERED FROM ANY BLEMISHES OF ANY KIND AND ARE SPOTLESSY CLEAN. THESE MISPRESSED LABELS CARRY THE "PAPER BACK WRITER" ERROR.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS ALSO STUNNING AND NEAR MINT. CLEARLY HAVING RECEIVED NO MORE THAN TWO OR THREE VERY CAREFUL PLAYS THE VINYL DISPLAYS JUST THE ODD VERY TINY AND WISPY SURFACE MARK, THESE ARE SO MINIMAL THAT THEY ARE ONLY DETECTABLE UNDER A STRONG LIGHT AND IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT THIS VINYL APPEARS TO BE MINT. THE VINYL IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING AND DISPLAYS NO OTHER SIGNS OF PLAY OR AGE.
AUDIO IS FLAWLESS...ONE CAREFUL PLAY BY MYSELD REVEALS A FAULTLESS PERFORMANCE THROUGHOUT. THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITH A STRONG AND BOLD SOUND AND WITH AN UNRIVALLED CLARITY...AUDIO PERFECTION.
COMPLETE WITH ITS CORRECT WHITE INNER. THE INNER IS SUPERB.
THE OUTER FULLY LAMINATED EXPORT SLEEVE IS SUPERB. THE FRONT IS BRIGHT AND GLOSSY WITH NO LAMINATE DAMAGE OR LIFT AND DISPLAYS A FEW LIGHT EDGE WRINKLES. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL STRAIGHT AND UNWORN. THE REAR SHOWS SIMILAR MINIMAL EDGE WRINKLES AS THE FRONT. THERE IS NO EDGE WEAR PRESANT. THE SLEEVE IS STILL VERY CLEAN AND SHINY AND IS INTACT.
OVERALL A SUPERB AND BEARELY PLAYED EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY RARE AND HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER UK APPLE EXPORT WHICH FEATURES BARELY PLAYED VINYL WITH VERY DARK GREEN APPLE LABELS AND HAS THE ADDED APPEAL OF BEING A VERY RARE AND SELDOM SEEN MISPRESS VERSION.
