FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES PROUDLY OFFERS THIS PHENOMENAL EXAMPLE OF THE 1970 "HEY JUDE" ALBUM, WHICH IS THE BELL SOUND JACKSONVILLE, ILLINOIS PRESSING OF THE RARER ORIGINAL FIRST TITLE OF THE ALBUM "THE BEATLES AGAIN" WITH THE ORIGINAL RECORD NUMBER "SO-385" PRINTED ON THE LABELS. THIS WAS TO BE THE ORIGINAL TITLE, UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE CHANGE TO "HEY JUDE". SEVERAL EARLY DISCS WERE ALREADY PRESSED WHEN THE CHANGE WAS MADE, SO APPLE WENT AHEAD AND INSERTED THE RECORDS INTO THE NEW "HEY JUDE" COVERS.

THE JACKSONVILLE LABELS (APP 385.SR1J(as), SPIZER) HAS THE OPENING TRACK "CAN'T BUY ME LOVE" ABOVE THE SPINDLE HOLE ON SIDE ONE, AND THE ALBUM'S TITLE AND GROUP'S NAME CENTERED AT THE TOP OF THE APPLE AND "PRODUCED BY GEORGE MARTIN" AND "RECORDED IN ENGLAND" CENTERED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE APPLE. THIS VARIATION ALSO HAS "MANUFACTURED BY APPLE RECORDS, INC." BETWEEN THE PRODUCTION CREDIT AND RECORDING LOCATION. THE RECORD IS A UNPLAYED MINT MINUS JEWEL.

THE "HEY JUDE" (SW-385) COVER REMAINS IN THE ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP AND HAS THE ULTRA-RARE 10" X 2" TITLE BANNER STICKER (APP.385.S4, SPIZER) ADHERED DIRECTLY TO THE COVER ITSELF NEAR THE TOP EDGE BENEATH SHRINK WRAP (OTHERS ARE FOUND ADHERED DIRECTLY TO THE SHRINKWRAP). THIS IS THE LARGEST IN SIZE OF THE THREE STICKER VARIATIONS PRODUCED (THE OTHER TWO ARE 5" X 2"). THE COVER IS A STUNNING MINT MINUS WITH COLORS AND GRAPHICS THAT REMAIN BOLD AND DARK. THERE IS NO RINGWEAR AT ALL. THERE ARE NO RIPS, TEARS TO THE SHRINKWRAP.  THERE ARE TWO FACTORY SHRINK "BREATH HOLES" EVIDENT ON THE FRONT.

BEING THAT THE RARE 10" X 2" HAS REMAINED UNTOUCHED BENEATH THE SHRINKWRAP, THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE OF THE STICKER IS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION - WITH A BRILLIANT WHITE BACKGROUND THAT REMAINS BRIGHT AND THE RED PRINT IS VIBRANT AND CRISP. EACH CORNER OF THE STICKER IS SHARP.

THE ORIGINAL CREAM COLORED INNER DUST SLEEVE (WITH CENTER-HOLE) IS ALSO INCLUDED.
