The Beatles Yesterday and Today mono 'third state' butcher cover (Capitol Records, T 2553), its previously affixed 'trunk' cover pasteover peeled from the album jacket to reveal the 'butcher' cover underneath. In fine condition, with small areas of staining to the back cover; the image of the four band members is excellent and unaffected by the peeling process. The record is included. Accompanied by a photocopy of Capitol's recall notice for the controversial cover.
Within days of releasing this miscellany of previous hits, Capitol recalled all copies in response to retailers' negative reactions to the original macabre cover image. The recalled copies were 'retrofitted' with a new pictorial flat, pasted over the first, featuring an innocuous image of the boys posed around a steamer trunk; these have frequently been peeled away by collectors to reveal the infamous butcher image below.
