yeah, the beatles earlier albums were all fucked up by capitol records in the US to maximize profit. corporations don't usually care for artistic merit. well, not for it's own sake, at least (and why would they?)

If you miss Hey Jude so much then just listen to half of Past Masters 2, although why you'd only want to listen to half of it is beyond me.

Hey Jude was a compilation album thrown together by Allen Klein, and had material on it going back to 1964. It became irrelevant when the Past Masters series was released in 1988. No songs were recorded for the Hey Jude album, and it has been out of print for years. All of the tracks are now on either Past Masters or A Hard Days Night.

Just imagine how much better Pet Sounds could have been had he heard the proper version. 😉

Also, when The Beatles catalog was released on CD, they made the British versions of all of the albums the official versions and deleted the American versions (as well as albums like Hey Jude, Meet The Beatles, Something New, etc.). That's why the BEA tracklists all match the British versions. This is also the reason for the Past Masters albums, which were created to have albums for the songs that were maybe on American albums but were released only as British singles.

The original and American releases are shown on the Wikipedia page. BEA shows the tracklisting for the original release.
