Description

This item is The Original Beatles, Yesterday And Today "Butcher Cover" Album Cover Promotional poster released by Capital Records
Item is the Rarer Promotional 18 x 22 Original Capital Records Released Item . This might be far more valuable then we have listed it for considering the 1966 Capitol LP- Album itself “Yesterday and Today” (stereo “Butcher” cover) sells for over ,000.00 which were made in a much larger edition as albums are compared to the Original Promotional Posters that are printed in smaller numbers due to the fact that they are mean for display not for sale in record shops and as avertizements on bill board for the album. Since so few are available for actual sale the price of these should be the same if not more than the album which makes our price lower than market value.

This record is the ninth Capitol album release by the Beatles and the eleventh overall American release. It was issued only in the United States and Canada. The album is remembered primarily for the controversy surrounding its original cover image, the "butcher cover" featuring the band dressed in white smocks and covered with decapitated baby dolls and pieces of meat. The album's title is based on the song "Yesterday." Early album cover proofs show the word "Yesterday" in quotes. The "Butcher cover" In early 1966, photographer Robert Whitaker had the Beatles in the studio for a conceptual art piece entitled A Somnambulant Adventure. For the shoot, Whitaker took a series of pictures of the group dressed in butcher smocks and draped with pieces of meat and body parts from plastic baby dolls. The group played along as they were tired of the usual photo shoots—Lennon recalled the band having "boredom and resentment at having to do another photo session and another Beatles thing"—and the concept was compatible with their own black humour.Mojo magazine, former Capitol president Alan W. Livingston stated that it was Paul McCartney who pushed strongly for the photo's inclusion as the album cover, and that McCartney reportedly described it as "our comment on the war". A photograph of the band smiling amid the mock carnage was used as promotional advertisements for the British release of the Paperback Writer single. Also, a similar photograph from this shoot was used for the cover of the 11 June 1966 edition of the British music magazine.
