The Beatles: An unusual acetate recording of 'Hey Jude',

1968,
a double-sided, 10inch (25.5cm) acetate with Trident Studios labels with handwritten recording details, six tracks, comprising 'Hey Jude', The Beatles; 'Don't Talk Now', James Taylor; 'My Name Is Jack', Manfred Mann; 'The Eagle Laughs At You', Jackie Lomax; 'Those Were The Days', Mary Hopkin; and 'One Inch Rock', Tyrannosaurus Rex, in Trident sleeve

Footnotes

It is not known exactly why these particular tracks appear on one acetate but they were all recorded at Trident in 1968. As a new business, it may be that this disc was complied as a PR tool, demonstrating the clientele that had used the studios since its recent opening. The Beatles, James Taylor, Jackie Lomas and Mary Hopkin were all on the Apple label.
