Hey Jude - Cover Photograph
Photo
still from the last ever group photo session of the Beatles, taken on
August 22, 1969 at Tittenhurst. This picture was used on the cover of
the US release only "Hey Jude" album. The "Hey Jude" LP was one of those
corporate oddities specifically designed to milk the US public out of
even more money. It contained all previously released tracts, most of
which had never been on a Beatles album before such as "Hey Jude" and
"Revolution." It was conceived and marketed by Allen Klein to cash in on
the Beatles' new contract he had just negotiated giving the band
substantially higher royalties. The LP managed to go as high as #2 in
the US Billboard charts where it remained at #2 for 4 weeks from late
March, 1970 through most of April.
