The original Yesterday and Today album cover issued in the United States in June 1966 featured a color photo taken by Robert Whitaker of the group dressed in white butcher smocks and draped in pieces of raw meat and the parts of several dismembered dolls. This controversial album design soon became known as "The Butcher Cover" Oddly enough, that photo had not been intended to be used as an album cover at all when it was taken, but in fact was part of a collection of shots that comprised a photo series titled the "Somnambulant Adventure". The series was never published, Upon it's release the Yesterday and Today cover shocked most most radio station dj's, record reviewers and store owners and was immediately recalled. John Lennon once stated that "....it was inspired by boredom and resentment at having to do another photo session and Beatle thing". Price is $139.00.
