«The Ballad of John and Yoko» was only banned on the “Hey Jude” album (1970) and on the “The Beatles/1967-1970” double album (1973). The single was, actually, released in Spain in 1969 (Odeon ?– 1J 006-04.108).
a couple of oddities on the spanish edition 1. on the beatles (WA) (mono version) at the end of helter skelter, john´s scream: I´ve got blisters on my fingers) was erased. 2. the stereo cover of splhcb, was the same as the mono one, the only difference is the word: estereofonico written on the right top hand side. 3. also the cover of the single yellow submarine is unique.
Hello: The single Hey Jude/Revolutión is cataloged as EP, since it uses the same code as the EPs, perhaps because of its duration it was cataloged as an EP in its day. Greetings from Spain

Hello, BeatlesBible
I would only say that the second spanish EP (“The Beatles’ Hits”) had this songs:
Side 1:
«Ella te ama» («She Loves You»)
«Te tendré» («I’ll Get You»)
Side 2:
«Para ti» («From Me to You»)
«Gracias chiquilla» («Thank You Girl»)
Greetings from Spain.

That’s Ringo at the end of “Helter Skelter”, not John.
Ringo’s(not John) scream is missing on ALL mono pressings the world over, not just Spain.
‘Por Siempre’ is listed as mono, but my copy is stereo (more or less – some tracks are ‘electronically re-channeled to simulate distorted mono’)
