Description

THIS RECORD WAS BOUGHT IN A ANTIQUE STORE . IT IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE ALONG WITH THE RECORD. I FOUND THE WRITE UP BELOW AND THOUGHT I WOULD ADD IT TO THIS SALE FOR EXTRA INFORMATION.

This is a remake but still an excellent collector item.

HISTORY OF THE PURPLE COVER:

The Purple Trunk Cover reproduced for the first time is the only alternate, fully-realized replacement cover for Yesterday...And Today that exists. Press proofs were printed, but scrapped at the last minute when the White Trunk Cover design was ultimately chosen.

The original Beatles Yesterday...And Today album cover, issued in the United States in June 1966, featured a color picture, taken by Robert Whitaker, of the group dressed in white butcher smocks and draped in pieces of raw meat and the parts of several dismembered dolls. This controversial album design soon became known as the Butcher Cover.
