The Beatles Yesterday and Today stereo 'third state' butcher cover (Capitol Records, ST 2553), its previously affixed 'trunk' cover pasteover peeled from the album jacket to reveal the 'butcher' cover underneath. In very good condition, with light scuffing, staining, old tape stains, and an ink inscription to the back cover, restored splitting to the bottom edges, and some minor adhesive residue to the surface. The record is included.
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.
