Again, photos? That supposed 78 of "Hey Jude" got deleted because no evidence could be produced!

is this (while my guitar gently weeps) the same mono mix as the mono LP version or fold down?

Brilliant ska-inflected pop number featuring an infectious piano part from Lennon!

Guess it must seem quite fashionable nowadays to disparage "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" since it was detested during recording by The Beatles minus Paul. That goes the same for "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" from Abbey Road. Personally, I prefer making up my own head, as I love both tunes.

Sick of all the McCartney haters out there, too!

Folks who don’t understand Paul and with that find reason to hate him as an artist, please put Ram on your whatever. He’s all over the place with musical styles on his best solo LP. You can’t hold this songwriting beast down. Just can’t. Thank god or whomever!

A seller near me (not on Discogs) had this copy for sale, and I couldn't find it here to get more info. Manufactured by Parlophone, and appears to be for the West Indies market. I can't really make a new release just based on the photo, but was wondering if anyone had seen this pressing before (image ed to "postimages")

There's an other version with the good credits on it and on BIEM and not SACEM so it must be an original

have this with sleeve, While My Guitar Gently Weeps is my favourite Beatles song, who can think of a line like: I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping...
