TRACKLISTING: The Beatles Yesterday & Today album was released in the US by Capitol Records on June 15th 1966. The cover featured a highly controversial picture of the group dressed in white butcher smocks showing raw cuts of meat and parts of toy dolls strewn about their apparel.

The album was issued to radio stations and stores in advance of release but caused such an uproar that it was almost immediately recalled.

As so many copies of the offensive cover had already been manufactured at great cost it was decided that rather than scrap these covers and reprint a different picture slick showing the group around a luggage trunk would be printed and pasted over the offensive image.

As news spread of the picture underneath people tried to peel off the new slick to reveal the picture underneath with varying success.

A butcher cover as issued by Capitol in its natural state is known as a first state copy. Mono copies fetch many thousands of dollars regardless of condition with stereo copies fetching even more since there were twenty times more mono than stereo copies produced.

A butcher cover with the trunk cover slick pasted over the top is known as a second state. If you look carefully at the white area on the right hand side of the sleeve Ringos black V-neck sweater can be seen through the replacement slick.

Lastly a butcher sleeve with the trunk cover slick peeled off is known as a third state. It is very rare that a trunk cover slick can be removed without damaging the butcher picture underneath.

Very few copies were reportedly sold in stores with this cover in its first state and a first state stereo copy in resonable condition will now cost the collector in excess of $10000!

CONDITION

The labels are Capitol rainbow rim in design with clear bright text no blemishes or excessive spindlemarks & MFD BY CAPITOL text on the label black area inside the colourband border.

The vinyl is in VG+/EX- condition and whilst obviously played shows just a couple of light surface scuffs even after forty five years. As the disc is identical to a later Trunk sleeve first pressing this is not really an issue.


This copy is complete with the orange Capitol 66 advertising inner.

The all important front of the sleeve is in excellent condition with just a little light age yellowing at the edges. Ringos V-neck can be clearly seen through the white area on the right.
There is an area on the back of the sleeve measuring approximately 1½" x ½" where the sleeve has been torn at the opening along with a couple of scuffs but they do little to affect the period feel of the piece although this has naturally been accounted for in the price. Apart from this the rear of the sleeve is free from writing with only very mild discolouration confirming its age.

An investment grade item or worthwhile addition to a serious collection!
