The Beatles Again (Hey Jude)
This 1970 Apple Records release (SW-385) is an original Canadian first pressing of the compilation album Hey Jude (originally titled The Beatles Again). This specific unit is the initial Canadian issue, distinguished by the light green Apple labels and the unique "Litho in Canada" [MG] logo on the bottom of the spine.
As a first-state Canadian pressing, the back cover lists the manufacturer as "Capitol Records (Canada) Ltd." and correctly identifies the catalog number as SW-385. This album is historically significant as the first time several late-era Beatles singles and B-sides, including "Lady Madonna," "Revolution," and "Hey Jude," were made available on a long-playing record in stereo. The Canadian pressings from this era are often noted by collectors for their thick cardboard "paste-over" style jackets and high-quality vinyl composition compared to some US counterparts from the same period.
