Description

This is the 45 rpm 7 inch vinyl single containing the Beatle’s song “Hey Jude” and the B-side “Revolution.” Originally released in August of 1968 on the Beatle’s Apple Records label, “Hey Jude” was over 7 minutes long, the longest single ever to hit number 1 in the United States. Technical limitation of records used to limit singles length to 3 minutes, but Bob Dylan’s six minute long “Like a Rolling Stone” changed this convention and extended the single format on both vinyl and radio. This record is the Capitol Records rerelease from 1978 with catalog number 2276 and matrix number X46434.
