THE BEATLES
Yesterday And Today
Capitol ST 2553

2nd State Pasteover-Trunk Cover

CONDITION:  Cover: VG- /Record-VG- /Inner Sleeve-VG+ (Cover is still a very nice clean white copy despite the torn or chewed top edges-see pix)


Released on 20 June 1966, the Yesterday and Today album's controversial cover (see section below) marked the first time the Beatles' judgement was criticised by the media and distributors. After advance copies were sent to disc jockeys and record reviewers, negative reaction to the cover photo was so strong Capitol recalled 750,000 copies from distributors to replace the cover.

Copies that have never had the white cover pasted onto them, known as "first state" covers, are very rare and command the highest prices. Copies with the pasted-on cover intact above the butcher image are known as "second state" or "pasteovers". Today, pasteover covers that have remained unpeeled are also becoming increasingly rare and valuable; these can be identified if Ringo's black V-neck shirt from the original cover can be seen through the paste-over to the right of the trunk lid (in alignment with the word "Today" from the album title)

Mono copies outnumbered stereo copies by about ten to one, making the stereo copies far more rare and valuable to collectors.
