This is an auction for a VERY GOOD cover and album of:
The Beatles Yesterday and Today Butcher Cover 3rd State Mono T 2553 RIAA 6
This is the Highly Sought and Rare Beatles Album Yesterday and Today that was originally released with a cover that has been referred to as "The Butcher Cover"(relisted at a lower reserve). This particular copy had the replacement cover peeled to reveal the butcher cover. I feel the pictures (presented below) will give all of the necessary details of the condition, however, if you need further details or pictures please do not hesitate to email me. Below is a brief history of this rare album.
In early 1966, photographer Robert Freeman had The Beatles in the studio for a conceptual art piece entitled "A Somnambulent Adventure." One of the pictures in the series featured three members of the group seated (with George standing), dressed in butcher smocks, smiling maniacally, while they were draped with pieces of meat and body parts from plastic baby dolls. The group went along with the adventure as they were tired of the usual photo shoots they had done for over 3 years running. Other photographs from the shoot were actually published in a British music magazine with no real uproar.
In the United States, Capitol printed 750,000 copies of the record with this photograph on the sleeve. These were shipped to disk jockeys and store managers. It has recently been substantiated that the record was indeed for sale in some stores in limited areas, probably for only one day. Reaction was immediate and almost unanimous: everyone hated it. The record was immediately recalled. All copies were ordered shipped back to the record label, leading to its collectability.
Faced with so many jackets already printed, Capitol Records decided to merely paste a new cover over the old one. Thousands of these were sent out. Many people attempted (and failed) to peel off the pasted over cover, revealing the "naughty" image below. In spite of the relative non-rarity of this item, it is one of the most valued items in the hobby of record collecting.
