the Beatles were in hot water in America.
The record was released just
after John s infamous interview in which he stated that the Beatles were
bigger than Jesus , which angered Americans and provoked many bans on
their music and public incineration s of memorabilia.
But Yesterday And Today
would take public disapproval to a whole new level, as the original
cover featured the band in butcher s smocks with baby doll parts and raw
meat covering them.
The record was pulled almost immediately - creating
an instant collector s item - and in the confusion that followed,
several replacement covers were issued.
Songs on the album were taken
from the leftovers of the British release Rubber Soul as well as the single/B-side Yesterday/Act Naturally released on the UK version of Help ,
the single/B-side We Can Work It Out/ Day Tripper , and three songs
which had not, in 1966, been released in the UK: I m Only
Sleeping , Doctor Robert , and And Your Bird Can Sing which all
wound up on the UK -only version of Revolver .Drive My Car 2:30 Recorded: October 13, 1965 at Abbey Road, London, EnglandJohn Lennon - lead vocal, tambourinePaul McCartney - lead vocal, bass guitar, pianoGeorge Harrison - lead guitar, background vocalRingo Starr - drumsI m Only Sleeping 3:01 Recorded:

The back cover is VG, light stain discolorations but overall decidedly decent and anyway, it s all about the butcher cover front.
As far as the rare stereo edition is concerned,
peeled Butchers covers are very scarce, selling quickly for up to 3000 or more in documented past sales.
Most
original 66 STEREO butcher covers are safely tucked away in private collections ...
An obvious timeless investment item, has wear to the spine at lower bottom and a little bit only elsewhere on spine, The Beatles still legible on spine and perfectly aligned.
There are no bends, no writing no delete marks...
but definitely has signs of past use, so MINT expectations need not apply, aside from the fact that a nice peel will reveal a very clean butcher cover slick, which has been preserved as pasted over.
The vinyl ...
rated M- TOP COPY, no problems anywhere...smooth and clear highly shiny original 1966 vinyl over both sides Just as nice are the spotless 1966 rainbow Capitol labels are cleanSEE: SELLERS OTher items for similar cool sounds for head people..EFFICIENT/CAREFUL GRADINGAll imperfections are noted both cover record
