COMMENTS		This unusual edition of "Hey Jude / Revolution" was manufactured in Italy in 1968, apparently for export to other European markets. Unlike the regular Italian release (QMSP 16433), this edition used the catalog number "DP 570" and a British-style black Parlophone label with silver lettering. The label features a large "45 R.P.M." logo on the right, the boxed BIEM logo on the left, and the Parlophone trademark at the top. The words "MADE IN ITALY" were printed along the bottom, while an English copyright warning appears around the outer rim. The "℗ 1968" and "Producer: George Martin" credits appear on both sides. Label Variations Two label variations are known, distinguished by the position of the song title and playing time on Side A. Type 1: The title "HEY JUDE" was centered, with the playing time "(7'12)" printed separately on the right. Type 2: The title "HEY JUDE" and the playing time "(7'12)" were centered together. The copy shown here is Type 1. The picture sleeve uses the same basic design as the regular Italian release (QMSP 16433), featuring a color photograph of the four Beatles against a black background. "THE BEATLES" was printed in large red letters at the top, with "HEY JUDE · REVOLUTION" below. The combined EMI/Parlophone logo appears in the upper left corner, with the catalog number changed to "DP 570". The back cover features the same photograph against an orange background, with the printer's credit "A.G.C." at the lower left and "Producer George Martin" at the lower right. Although manufactured in Italy, the record uses an English-language Parlophone label instead of the regular Italian label design. The exact export destination has not yet been confirmed.
