I bought a copy of 'Hey Jude' for my daughter at a used record store here in Cincinnati yesterday - it's an Apple release, in nice condition, and plays very well....

Except for the fact that it plays the side 2 songs on both sides of the LP (Hey Jude / Old Brown Shoe / Don't Let Me Down / Ballad of John and Yoko)!! The labels are printed Side 1 and Side 2, and the Side 1 label shows the songs that should be there. Also, the labels say 'The Beatles Again' and not 'Hey Jude'.

According to Wikipedia, "Originally, the album was to be named The Beatles Again. Shortly before the record was released, however, the title was changed to Hey Jude in order to promote the inclusion of the top-selling song that led off side two. The name-change occurred after the labels were printed, and an untold number of copies of the album were sold with Apple labels on the vinyl containing the title The Beatles Again."

So it would appear that this pressing is from the original release. But I haven't found any reference anywhere to copies of the album being pressed w/ Side 2 on both sides.

Any Beatles experts out there? Do we have a rarity on our hands? Or should we just return it and get our money back from the record store?
