Description
Yesterday and Today is remembered primarily for the controversy surrounding its original cover image.
Nicknamed the "butcher cover", it depicted the band wearing white butcher smocks and covered with decapitated baby dolls and pieces of raw meat.
While the photo was intended to be a critique of the public's adoration of the Beatles, the band members claimed that it was a commentary on the Vietnam War.
Others interpreted it as the Beatles protesting Capitol's practice of "butchering" their albums for the North American market by altering track lists.
In response to retailers' concerns about the gory imagery, Capitol immediately withdrew the LP and replaced the cover image with a shot of the band gathered around a steamer trunk.
