He was being sarcastic - he knows (or should damn know) that record stores are thriving again.

Yeah, and it's good to hear - just wish there was a half-decent one within reasonable distance of where I live/walk/ride buses! (Brampton, to be precise. Toronto-bashing is fun, isn't it?)

Curious that the red apple wasn't used on the "Let It Be" or "Long And Winding Road" singles. I guess Capitol distributed these?

It represents his death, and also the blood they shed dealing with his death. That's the real reason they chose the granny smith apple; that's what Paul was eating when he died. George had some records with white Apple logos. Those represented Paul's spirit running around in shambles after the car crash.

I don't know about other countries. More info here: http://www.jpgr.co.uk/pcs7096.html

Wow, 'record shop'? They still have those? Montreal sounds great!

There are a lot of them in US too (and this is coming from someone who doesn't live in US xD).

Why it had an original American release (in pristine condition) is still beyond me. But it's mine now, so I don't care.

I finally got Let It Be on vinyl yesterday, and it's got a red apple where the granny smith should be. This isn't the first time I've heard of this, but I don't remember the story behind it. Can one of you explain it to me?

I don't know if I've ever heard of this before! Certainly, any copies that I've seen (including my old copy) had the green apple, so I guess Canadian copies didn't have the red one; and presumably your copy is an original American.
