The Beatles - Hey Jude

1/31/2015

"Hey Jude" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. The ballad evolved from "Hey Jules", a song McCartney wrote to comfort John Lennon's son, Julian, during his parents' divorce. "Hey Jude" begins with a verse-bridge structure based around McCartney's vocal performance and piano accompaniment; further instrumentation is added as the song progresses. After the fourth verse, the song shifts to a fade-out coda that lasts for more than four minutes.

"Hey Jude" was released in August 1968 as the first single from the Beatles' record label Apple Records. More than seven minutes in length, it was at the time the longest single ever to top the British charts. It also spent nine weeks at number one in the United States, the longest for any Beatles single. "Hey Jude" tied the "all-time" record, at the time, for the longest run at the top of the US charts. The single has sold approximately eight million copies and is frequently included on professional critics' lists of the greatest songs of all time. In 2013, Billboard named it the 10th biggest song of all time.

Ah, ok. Being in the US I didn't know that. Meet The Beatles was first here with no Please Please Me. All of the albums before Rubber Soul were different over here.

Ah, ok. Being in the US I didn't know that. Meet The Beatles was first here with no Please Please Me. All of the albums before Rubber Soul were different over here. The song Please Please Me was on The Early Beatles over here.

Sandy
2/11/2015 09:19:49 pm

Ah, ok. I figured With The Beatles would have been first in the UK since Meet The Beatles was first over here. We had different albums until Rubber Soul then they were the same after that.

Sandy

A great song for sure. I cannot agree that it is the best Beatles song of all time. There are so many that are right up there with it in my humble opinion. But, of course, I do not have a favorite Beatle song. They are all great to me. No favorite Beatle, either. My favorite is "The Beatles". They are 4 parts of a whole. Without any one of them it would not have been The Beatles.

I live in the state of LA. The VJ album was to come out in 1963 but they held back an put it out the same time as meet the BEATLES.

Interesting...Excuse the length!

Of all the confusion that surrounded the Beatles’ early U.S. releases, perhaps nothing compares with the story of their first album, ‘Introducing … the Beatles.’ It was released by Vee-Jay Records on Jan. 10, 1964, 10 days before Capitol issued ‘Meet the Beatles!‘

The story of how and why this happened began about a year earlier. When the group’s second single, ‘Please Please Me’, was released in the U.K., EMI, the parent company of its label Parlophone, offered the song to Capitol, its U.S. label. But Capitol turned it down. Another EMI property called Transglobal was brought in to find an American home. So the record was picked up by Vee-Jay, a Chicago R&B label that had hits with Betty Everett, the Impressions, Jerry Reed and the Staple Singers. The company released the song on Feb. 7, 1963.

While it didn’t become a national hit, ‘Please Please Me’ performed respectably in a few major markets, and plans were made to release the Beatles’ debut album of the same name in the U.S., albeit with a modification. At the time, albums in the U.S. didn’t usually have more than 12 songs, two fewer than ‘Please Please Me.’ So the title track was removed along with the single’s B-side, ‘Ask Me Why,’ and the album was renamed ‘Introducing … the Beatles.’

Vee-Jay intended to have the record in stores by the end of July, but a major financial crisis at the label, which saw the resignation of its president, postponed the release date. Citing nonpayment of royalties from the single, Transglobal voided its contract with Vee-Jay.

By late fall, word about the group started to spread nationwide, and Capitol agreed to release the band’s new single, ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand.’ As it climbed the charts, Vee-Jay, which still had the earlier masters and most of the artwork ready to go, decided to put out the album, beating Capitol to the punch and figuring that the much-needed cash was worth any legal troubles.

But the label quickly discovered a different legal issue. A week after the record’s release, Vee-Jay was slapped with a restraining order by Beechwood Music, which owned the rights to ‘Love Me Do’ and ‘P.S. I Love You.’ So the label replaced the two songs with the pair they initially removed, and reissued the LP in early February. It rose to No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200, where it was kept from the top spot by Capitol’s ‘Meet the Beatles!’

Then came the matter of the Transglobal issue. Over the next two months, Vee-Jay and Capitol fought in the courts, with Vee-Jay releasing a new version of ‘Introducing … the Beatles’ every time one of Capitol’s injunctions was lifted. In April, an agreement was reached whereby Vee-Jay had six months to market the songs it controlled, at which point the rights would revert to Capitol.

By the time the changeover took place in October, 1.3 million copies of ‘Introducing … the Beatles’ had been sold. Possibly because of all the myriad versions, the album has long been a target for counterfeiters looking to prey on unsuspecting consumers.

The Beatles were, are, and will ever be absoloutely the vest band to come together. They made history, by changing not only the hairstyle, but the entire rock scene. Their music inspired an entire generation of the now famous singers and musicians who: went out and bought a guitar just because they saw and heard "The Boys," as their famous producer Brian Epstein vefan to call them. The rest of the world knows them also as, "The Fab Four." You're The "Poppermost of the Toppermost," now and forever.
