Hey Jude/ Revolution

This is the first copy, I believe, that I've ever had in the store with absolute pristine audio... cause for celebration. By the way, it's "Revolution" that gets Dave Marsh's top respect at #656 on his list of the 1001 greatest singles ever made, though "Jude" is at #8 on Rolling Stone magazine's list. Quite a bargain! Importantly, Marsh singles out this version of "Revolution" over those on the "White album," and rightly so. Not only is the message somewhat different on this 3:22 track, but the attack on the 45 version is as ferocious as The Beatles ever got: That fuzz guitar simply powers the entire room when it starts up, whereas on the longer, slower LP version ("Revolution 1", 4:16), the guitar arrives late and has a more typical Beatlesque (perfect, but nothing Nasty about it) tone. So this re-recording was a previously unreleased, non-LP cut. This copy shows the Capitol logo in white perimeter print on the B side. Note: This gorgeous copy comes in a vintage "Beatles on Apple" factory sleeve. It grades pristine Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
