The Beatles second - and final - UK single of 1968 was an all-time classic. Hey Jude, with Revolution on the b-side, was also the group's first on their Apple label. The single was issued as Apple R 5722, although the catalogue number followed Parlophone's convention, and the rights remained with the EMI subsidiary. Hey Jude spent 16 weeks on the UK charts from 7 September. It spent two weeks at number one from 11 September, before being knocked off by Mary Hopkin's Those Were The Days, produced by Paul McCartney and released on this day as Apple 2. At seven minutes and 11 seconds, Hey Jude was the UK's longest number one single until 1993. Its success encouraged artists and radio stations alike to throw out the unwritten rule that singles should be no longer than three minutes. The b-side to Hey Jude, Revolution was John Lennon's response to the popular calls for uprising in the US and Europe, and a revision of the version already recorded for the White Album. Although taped after Revolution 1, this faster, louder version was the first to be released. The song was written in India while The Beatles were studying meditation in Rishikesh. (from "The Beatles Bible") |

At the end of the
summer
of 1968, on 26th August, the Beatles issued their first
single on their
new label. "HEY JUDE" and all the future domestic U.K. Beatles singles, would bear a fine-looking green apple on the "A" side label, with the sliced-open half apple on the flip side. Instead of "THE GRAMOPHONE CO.LTD.", "Apple Records" was printed at the perimeter. The Apple singles also contained the notice "An E.M.I. Recording". No green & white demos of this 45 were produced so this early copy is on dark green Apple label: R 5722. A genuine "Factory Sample - Not For Sale" sticker is adhered to the side 1 label. All of the Beatles' five Apple singles were manufactured two ways: both with and without the push-out center. |

Pye "Push-out Center"Contract
Pressing:
(According to "TheBeatlesCollection") 1: There is no tax code around the center hole on either side of the disk. 2: The ridge is approximately 2.5mm in from the edge of the push-out center or approximately 10mm out from the center hole. 3: The secondary ridge runs right on the very edge next to the triangular center attachments. You can only see a second ridge at the base of these triangular shapes and extremely flush against the edge gap, whereas on the Decca disks this ridge is clearly visible around the extreme edge rim of the pushout section. This is consistent with all Decca and Pye disks. 4: The gap between the push-out center and the main body of the disk is approximately 2.25mm. |

Back in the 60's EMI
had
a limited record pressing power, and the Beatles were so
popular that
they simply could not cope with the demand that the fans
were putting
on them to get the copies out and into the shops. Purchases
meant
profit, and fans having to wait for EMI to catch up with
demand meant a
loss of earnings. Because of this, EMI decided to approach
rival
production companies with batch orders for them to press to
help keep
on top of things. The Pye contract press is much more difficult to find than was once thought. in fact it appears that Pye only ever helped EMI out once and that was for the single Hey Jude. It has been said that EMI had to ask some other company (ex. Pye, Philips, CBS and Decca) to press this single. (According to "TheBeatlesCollection") The pye contract pressings were manufactured two ways: both with and without the push-out center. |

Pye "Solid Center" Contract
Pressing:
(According to "TheBeatlesCollection") 1: There is no tax code around the center hole on either side of the disc. 2: The first, inner ridge is approximately 10mm out from the center hole. 3: The second, outer ridge is approximately 2.5mm out from the inner ridge and 12.5mm out from the center hole. It is 26mm in from the edge of the label. 4: A third smoother embankment-like ridge surrounds the outer ridge and is approximately 2mm out from the outer ridge and 14.5mm out from the center hole. It is 24mm in from the edge of the label. 5: A hand-etched letter has been scratched in at the 3 o'clock position. This does NOT appear on the Decca contract pressings. |

The Philips c are unique in the
fact
that they have a 3-pronged push-out center rather than the
standard 4
that the other pressing plants adopted. Philips contract pressing, these are its distinguishing characteristics. 1: There is no tax code on the push-out center either side of the disk. 2: There is a double ridge (1mm apart) that runs around approximately 1mm in from the edge of the pushout center. It's 11mm out from the center hole and approximately 28mm in from the edge of the label. 3: The gap between the push-out centre and the body of the disk is approximately 2.5mm.

Some copies at the original time were pressed by Philips Records (along with its subsidiary Mercury and their subsidiary Fontana) to assist EMI who could not keep up with the demand for this Beatles release. EMI sub-contracted Philips to run off a small batch at their Pressing Plant. There is a distinct difference between the routine EMI pressing of Hey Jude and the slightly rarer Philips contract pressing. The Philips version displays 3- prongs with a wider gap in the middle. |

It is currently
believed
that CBS were
another company
that only ever helped EMI out once with the production of a
Beatles
single. Instead of just having a textured center whilst the
rest of the
label is smooth the whole label on the CBS
contract pressing has a rough texture to it and is
only smooth
around the very edge of the label (to just 2mm in). late 60s, earlier AAG CBS were made by PHILIPS group. UK CBS bought Oriole in late 1964 to get their pressing plant mainly, so CBS from 1966 still look pretty like Orioles. CBS generally did not do many contract pressings in the 60s. They can have textured or smooth labels. Knife edge vinyl, squashed looking serrated label edge. CBS mainly used push out centers, but by the later 60s solid centers were often used on bigger selling items, as with EMI. The CBS contract pressings were manufactured two ways: both with and without the push-out center. cf. The company started life as the Columbia Phonograph Co. in 1887. It flourished for more than three decades, and set up branches in several other countries. In 1923, however, it hit financial troubles and went into receivership. The British subsidiary was sold as Columbia, later a part of EMI. In the USA, Columbia ended up in the possession of William S. Paley, founder of Columbia Broadcasting Systems. EMI had the rights to the name Columbia in the UK. From 1965, CBS flourished as a major manufacturer and distributor of records. Issuing thousands of singles on its own CBS label it was also home to a number of other successful labels. The Oriole Record Company lasted until September 21, 1964, when it was bought, lock, stock and plant, by CBS Inc., who were looking to set up their own manufacturing facility in the UK. The result was CBS Records, and with its coming the Oriole label disappeared forever. |

Issuing thousands of singles on its own CBS label it was also home to a number of other successful labels. The Oriole Record Company lasted until September 21, 1964, when it was bought, lock, stock and plant, by CBS Inc., who were looking to set up their own manufacturing facility in the UK. The result was CBS Records, and with its coming the Oriole label disappeared forever. |

This label is with
push-out
center type. The "Sold in U.K." text has gone from the label. Beginning in 1964, Parlophone (and all the other EMI companies) began printing a phrase in the centers of all their singles, EP's and LP's, which said: SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS. This notice appears on the labels of every UK market EMI product, from very early 1964, right through mid-1969. |

COMMENTS
|
All of these Apple
singles were custom manufactured without centres by EMI
specifically for use in jukeboxes. The inside of
each hole is smooth confirming that a centre was never
present. There are two types of the jukeboxes issue of the "Hey Jude" single (maybe). Type-1: Dark green apple label and "narrow" catalog number printing on the label. Type-2: Light green apple label and "broad" catalog number printing on the label. (=this record) (*) Harry T. Moss Mastering engineer. Worked for EMI & Abbey Road Studios. Often identified by the initials "HTM" which may appear to look like "HrM" in the runouts. |
