Beatles 'Second State' Butcher Cover Album - Yesterday and Today (Mono) The Beatles Yesterday and Today mono 'second state' butcher cover (Capitol, T 2553). This 'second state' example features the revised 'trunk cover' pasteover that Capitol Records used to fix the already printed album sleeves in response to public backlash. Ringo's tell-tale black v-neck from the original image can be seen through the pasteover on the right side. Condition is VG++, with a minor seam split in sleeve, a few small light stains, and wear to reverse edges; the disc was tested and plays well with very few cracks or pops. The record and original Capitol inner sleeve are included. Within days of releasing this miscellany of previous hits, Capitol recalled all copies in response to retailers' negative reactions to the original macabre cover image. The recalled copies were 'retrofitted' with a new pictorial flat, pasted over the first, featuring an innocuous image of the boys posed around a steamer trunk; these have frequently been peeled away by collectors to reveal the infamous butcher image below.
