The 'Hey Jude' album was greeted as the 'new' Beatles album in 1970 but in reality it was just an Alan Klein conceived cash grab compilation of tracks not issued on previous Capitol albums. Although beloved by most countries, it went unreleased in the UK until 1979 where it had already been superseded by the red and blue albums in 1973. In this video, we look at the history of the album, look at some international release, compare the sound quality between U.S., German and UK copies and find out why one track was banned in Spain.
