So Apparently SY Put Out A 7" Cover Of Hey Jude
 

so i was online looking up rare sonic youth songs, and this poped up. it was $60 but i went ahead and bought a copy of it. any one else ever hear about this? any help would be great, thanks.

oh c'mon! nobody knows anything about this? bump-ditty-bump-bump.

The 2004 Bridge School benefit concert featured Sonic Youth, and Paul McCartney's set ended with an all-star rendition of Hey Jude.

That's the closest I can come, but it'd be a hell of a stretch to sell that as a Sonic Youth single.

A SY song.

What does Frades' post have to do with this thread??

This is weird. I've never heard of this 7"... where did you stumble upon it? Fill us in on the details when you receive it.

It's a long story that I can't be bothered to tell.

i really can't remember where i found it at (i was kinda tipsy). i was @ work and i can't save sites on my work computer. it was real skimpy w/ teh details, all it said was super rare sonic youth 45: the beatles hey jude. didn't have any kinda record label or year or anything on it so i don't know. you internet savvy mutha fuckas should find something about this

Wait until it arrives and tell us whether it's live or studio. You gotta help us mutha fuckas before us mutha fuckas can help you.

got it today. it's definitely a studio version, but i'm pretty sure it's not sonic youth. sounds like some guy "trying" to sound like lee & the music is what you would expect it to sound like if it were SY doing it. and the guy only charged me $4. for it including S&H. nothing else on it though, like it was home made. pretty sure it's not SY but it's not bad either. any thoughts?

i'd love to hear it if you could upload it somewhere...please

hey jude is such a fucking lousy ass song. jesus.

Are you by any chance related to the Grinch who stole Christmas, atsonicpark?

I'd really like to get to the bottom of this:

1. Who is on the single?
2. Who put it together?
3. What was the point (I mean, who did they plan to dupe? One SY fan who stumbled upon this thing on the internet? It's a lot of work to get $4 bucks, no?)
4. Is SY aware of this thing?
5. Who let the dogs out?

1. i have no idea
2. i have no idea
3. to be funny i would imagine
4. probably not
5. some ignorant haitians

I like the Beatles, I really do, I just think hey jude is a terrible terrible song.

i like it, i really like that instrumental version from the royal tennenbaums. i wish i could upload it but i don't have the capabilities. i'd really like to find out more about this though.

It's one of the few Beatles songs I can't stand.

I think you got duped, by the way. Sonic Youth never released a single like this. And what--no cover art? A sure give away right there.

yeah i kinda figured it was a fake, but i still wanted to hear it. it's kinda kool to be honest, i just wish i knew who actually did it.

I just played polvo songs as doom metal for 3 hours.
