Description

Rare Beatles - Yesterday and Today " Top of the Pop's"   VG + Great Shape Butcher Cover Promo 7" 45 Includes "A Hard Days Night" & "Things we said Today" on one side               " Long Tall Sally" on other side  # P943 
Known as the "butcher cover", it was taken by photographer Robert Whitaker and shows the band dressed in white coats and covered with decapitated baby dolls and pieces of raw meat. Although the photo was intended to be part of a larger work critiquing the adulation afforded the Beatles, the band members insisted it was a statement against the Vietnam War. Others interpreted it as the Beatles protesting the record company's policy of "butchering" their albums for the North American market. In response to retailers' outrage at the gory subject matter, Capitol immediately withdrew the LP and replaced the cover image with a shot of the band posed around a "steamer" trunk.
