Story & Background
This "1ST" 1970 copy of "Hey Jude (The Beatles Again)" holds a melancholic echo of the end of an era. The famous cover, photographed by Ethan Russell at Tittenhurst Park in August 1969, immortalises one of the very last photo sessions with all four Beatles together. Although the album was a shrewd compilation of singles not included on American LPs, designed to capitalise on the success of the title track, the images on the cover are charged with a palpable tension. Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr appear distant, almost resigned. John Lennon, in particular, shows clear discomfort, a raw visual premonition of the band's imminent break-up, which would be officially announced a few months after this record's release. A piece of history on vinyl that documents the farewell.
