On This Day In Music History: June 14th 1966: Deeming its "butcher cover" in poor taste, Capitol Records recalled the new Beatles album, Yesterday and Today, which had been scheduled for release the next day. The shot of the group — wearing butcher uniforms amid dismembered doll parts, cuts of raw pork and sausage links — was meant to show how they were being torn apart by their celebrity. About 60,000 advance copies had already been sent to stores and media outlets when backlash began, making it clear that retailers wouldn’t put the album on shelves. A furious effort began to replace the cover, and when the album was finally released on June 20, it was with an innocuous shot of the Beatles posed around an open trunk. In 2016, a copy of the album with the original cover sold for $125,000. #TheBeatles #YesterdayandToday #musichistory #fyp #classicrock
