great

This album (I owned it on vinyl), used the british mixes. It was striking to hear "I feel fine" in particular. I started buying the British LP's after hearing it. Also, I recall that "Hey Jude" got an early fade out (at least it did on the LP). Its running time was about 5 minutes.

Impressive... I got this one also on tape on 1985 and at that time I was 5 years old and definitely meant the world to me then, still have playlists on my laptop exactly on the tapeÒ‘s order.

I got this tape for Christmas in 1982 and it changed the way that I listen to music. This album might be not mean much to someone older, but it meant everything to me.
