This Day in Rock History - June 15th
1966: Capitol Records releases the Beatles album “Yesterday… and Today.” The album is a compilation of singles and songs Capitol cut when rearranging the band’s British LPs for American consumption.
The boys’ cheeky “butcher” cover – a sly comment of how their American label was treating their albums – touches off a fierce backlash, forcing Capitol to re-release it with a safer cover. However, a few of the re-released albums are the original butcher cover albums with the new cover pasted over it.
Today, those albums are highly valuable collector’s items (provided the safer cover was removed with great care).
