Ep. 72 | Hey Jude (1970) U.S. Capitol LP

Before the red and blue albums, there was “Hey Jude”—a massively popular compilation album that included many stone cold Fabs classics, none of which had previously appeared in glorious Full Dimensional Stereo™ on a Capitol LP. In the early CD era, this million-selling title—like most all of the Capitol albums—was banished to obscurity, finally resurfacing in 2014.

Tony & T.J. break down this LP (and 8-track) that meant so much to fellow Beatlenerds like us for the two decades following the break up.

This week’s episode does not mess around (or make it bad) when it comes to Hot Fab Topics, including:

• 🎸 Are the three inarguably biggest songs of the early grunge era “Come As You Are”, “Even Flow”, and “Hope Of Deliverance”?

• 🎤 Is Tony’s rendition of “Hey Jude” definitive, rendering the original Paul vocal a big ol’ worthless waste of time?

• 🧀 What makes certain 1990’s intense cheese nuggets so crum-believable?

The Beatles Again? Yeah fine, but even better (that’s a stretch) it’s Tony & T.J. … Again.
