J Lennon page 24 by ric gustafson
On May 31 1968, the band starts recording a new album. John and Yoko had been watching the news. Stories about Vietnam and the Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations were affecting them. The word revolution was swirling in John's mind. In order to keep Yoko around, John had to break a band pact. That agreement among the band members was that wives and girlfriends were forbidden from recording sessions. One day, the band came to a recording session and noticed Yoko sitting on top of one of the amps. Paul, George and Ringo were not happy.
Trouble was brewing for John and Yoko. One day, John and Yoko's relationship became international news. It was the biggest scandal in John's life since his comment two years earlier that the band was bigger than Jesus.
By the summer of 1968, the band put out a seven minute single called ' Hey Jude'. The B side was called ' Revolution 1'. ' Hey Jude' was Apple Records first release. It was a huge success selling more than 5 million copies.
