As a Beatle-file, I have to point out that "Hey, Jude" was not an actual album. Well, it was, just not one that the Beatles put together. It was comprised of a number of singles and lost bits that had not appeared on any American-release album to date. "To date" being until they pretty much split the sheets. Anyway, I have always liked this album, because--well, I didn't have those songs anywhere else. Pull it up on iTunes and check it out. It's good!
thank you, suzi-cute, for the clarification. i'd not known of a beatles album called "hey, jude," but got the info from a reliable source ... your schooling puts all the pieces together! thanks again, teach! :)
