BEATLES "HEY JUDE"
RARE DOUBLE MISPRESS
ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1ST APPLE EXPORT ISSUE MISPRESS.
"HEY JUDE" DIDNT RECEIVE AN OFFICIA U.K RELEASE UNTIL 1979, HOWEVER IT HAS 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.
SOME COPIES EXISTS WHICH CARRY JUST THE "REVOLUTIONS" ERROR A COPY WITH BOTH THESE ERRORS IS INCREDIBLY RARE AND SELDOM SEEN FOR SALE.
OFFERED FOR SALE IN REMARKABLE AND BARELY PLAYED CONDITION IS AN ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE APPLE EXPORT COPY OF "HEY JUDE" WHICH CARRIES BOTH THESE UNIQUE ERRORS.
