LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-FEB 26, 2020…ON THIS DATE IN 1970, THE BEATLES RELEASED THE ALBUM ‘HEY JUDE’. IT WAS ORIGINALLY TITLED “THE BEATLES AGAIN” BUT WAS RENAMED. THE ALBUM WAS ALSO RELEASED ON THE BEATLES APPLE LABEL. NOW I HAVE TO TELL YOU, THIS STORY SHOWS HOW UPTIGHT AND EFFED UP PEOPLE ARE. THE RECORD COMPANY WANTED TO CHANGE THE ARTWORK ON THE ACTUAL LABEL, BECAUSE A RECORD JOBBER COMPLAINED THAT HE AND HIS RETAIL OUTLETS WOULDN’T DISPLAY OR STOCK THE RECORD BECAUSE THE ACTUAL RECORD LABEL WAS “PORNOGRAPHIC.” HE STATED THE APPLE LOGO OF THE NOW FAMOUS CUT OPEN FRUIT ACTUALLY “DEPICTED A VAGINA”. APPLE STOOD THEIR GROUND, AND THE SINGLE ‘HEY JUDE’ SOLD OVER 8 MILLION COPIES IN THE US. HAHAHA, VAGINA POWER !
THIS IS GOLD, HERE’S THE BEATLES PERFORMING ‘HEY JUDE’ ON BRITISH TV.
