Original Butcher Cover: Sells Today For Up To $10,000
On This Date, July 30th in 1965: The Beatles’ 10th album Yesterday and Today went to number one on the Billboard 200 album chart for the first of five consecutive weeks. Of course, this album is most famous for its original raw-meat-and-dismembered-baby-doll-flaunting Butcher Cover, which was soon recalled and replaced with a very bland image depicting the Beatles looking very bored and stoned (seriously, check out Paul’s nose). Controversy!
Replacement Cover:Â Sells for Around $10.00
