This great album has the legendary Butcher Cover where the Beatles were depicted holding decapitated dolls and raw meat, supposedly a reference to the Vietnam war, or maybe just a bad-taste joke? Either way the album was recalled and thousands of copies had this offensive photo covered-up.
A few copies escaped the cull including this one having been sold before the decision was taken to drop the original cover Vinyl - Strong VGC just a few minor surface marks, that s all Cover - The bottom edge has split see photo I haven t sellotaped this one as one normally would, given the rarity of the cover itself.
The record will be housed in a plastic sleeve to protect it from any further deterioration This is a real one-off.
