Controversial Art! The Beatles


Yesterday and Today (rendered as "Yesterday" …and Today on the record label and in most published discographies) is the tenth Capitol release by the The Beatles and the twelfth overall U.S. release. It was issued only in the United States and Canada. The album is remembered primarily for the controversy surrounding its original cover image, the "butcher cover" featuring the band dressed in white smocks and covered with decapitated baby dolls and pieces of meat. In the United States, Capitol Records printed approximately 750,000 copies of "Yesterday" …and Today with the same photograph as "Paperback Writer".
