Description

Beatles "Butcher Cover" In-Store Promotional Poster (Capitol, 1966). The caption screams out "Incredible!" in huge red letters, and it's hard to argue that the original cover to the Beatles' "Yesterday and Today" LP would feature such a shocking cover image. Of course, the album was recalled after only one day in the stores, but copies did survive. Even rarer is this in-store promo poster, featuring a large shot of the cover, showing the lads in their white butcher smocks, surrounded with bloody doll parts and cuts of meat, all somewhat soften by a textured filter lens. The poster measures approximately 18" x 22" and is in NM- condition. Also included is a letter of authenticity signed by Perry Cox author of The Official Guide to the Beatles Records and Memorabilia. Incredible? Bloody outrageous!
