THE BEATLES "HEY JUDE"
APPLE RECORDS # CPCS 106
VERY FIRST *export* pressing with mis-titled tracks
**********************************************************
The original FIRST UK pressing album of these recordings from the Beatles.
Whether playing live or in the studio with George Martin they were the best band of their time, no contest.
Their Apple Records business wasn't a particularly great success, and was poorly administrated, but the lable wasn't short of some excellent releases - this especially among them!
This UK pressing LP is a special album of a mixture of trackss, and was pressed as an EXPORT release.
It's particularly special for having really nice fidelity, but also for including previously *unissued* STEREO mixes of great songs!
Original 45s were almost all in MONO, and unless those tracks got especially mixed to Stereo for compilation albums, they were not easily found at this high quality - so it makes this a particularly worthwhile collectible.
Notable tracks include 'I Should Have Known Better", "Rain" and the terrific faster rock version of "Revolution" from the single b-side!
This FIRST lable made has some rather odd mistakes that identify it as the very first pressing run - specifically 'PAPER BACK WRITER' and 'REVOLUTIONS'.
Whoever did the typos here must have been pretty naive! Still it makes for a highly sought after edition, and we collectors love that!
Also, this was devoured immediately, so this initial pressing would sell out within a day or two.
This lable that was put out on the first run of copies, then promptly corrected for all subsequent copies.
CONDITION;
The VINYL grades VG-, playing through well, the outside edge has a couple of small spots of resin not into the track or the music.
There are several surface marks, this disc plays through well and the music is clear to the fore!
There are no skips (on my sensitive player), the lp has been enjoyed though so expect a little less than a 'near mint' sound, this is priced accordingly (near mint copies expect to price closer to £200)
Original APPLE Lables are VG+, no stains, stickers or pen.
Centre hole wear and spindle lines only.
The LAMINATED COVER is VG-, a flat example but with some handling creases, general wear, and a 1 inch tear to the opening edge.
See pictures.
