#yesterday and today

[palatinewolfsblog]

Today i learned about William J. H. Boetkers concept of the seven national crimes:

"1. I don't think.

2. I don't know.

3. I don't care.

4. I am too busy.

5. I live well enough alone.

6. I have no time to read and find out. And:

7. I am not interested."

(also applies to the Private...)

Deeming its "butcher cover" in poor taste, Capitol Records recalls the new Beatles album, Yesterday and Today, which is scheduled for release the next day and has already been sent to stores.

The Beatles - Yesterday and Today (Capitol, US Only, Rejected Cover, 1966) - Design, concept and photograph by Robert Whitaker

I have so many questions about this cover, but since I'd be running my mouth if tried to explain it, I'll direct you to these links that do a better job than me.

Suffice to say, this cover never made it to record store shelves. We instead ultimately got this "trunk" cover, also from Whitaker. Their faces say it all...

So there you have it.

Baby crying sounds…

John: “This isn’t the baby we used in the test, but we got Mrs. Williamson to slice up a fresher baby. And here is the baby now in a xxxx that has been sliced. There you go.”

George: “Now as you see, the smaller slices are the only slices that are allowed into the box. Now, all the bigger slices, like the limbs and the head, we keep out and we use in various other meat products, such as Pal, Keno Meat, and things like that. But you, the buyers, must realize that only the small parts of this small child will end up in your family frozen pack, in your shop…”

Paul: “It’s not a very pretty sight, I can tell you. It’s not a very pretty sight, seeing a little baby sliced up, on a, on a slicing machine. It’s not too pretty folks.

John: “You mean those little soar white spots in the back. Oh yes, I use them xxxxxx

Paul: “Oh yes, right.”

John: “Well, I think it’s time to put the baby to sleep, eh Ringo?”

It became a hope for many.

Today it is a necessity for all."

Book Review: “The Beatles Rubber Soul to Revolver” Compiled by Bruce Spizer

Unlike the albums it explores, “The Beatles Rubber Soul to Revolver” has a ton of filler between its covers.

Dominated by ad nauseam accounting of the albums and associated singles’ weekly chart positions in the United Kingdom (in NME, Disc, Melody Maker and others), the United States (Billboard, Cashbox, et. al) and Canada, the book also features poorly written fan remembrances and ephemera about movies and culture of 1965-’66.

Book editor/compiler and Beatles expert Bruce Spizer does well in ensuring both the U.K. and U.S. versions of the LPs are explored. And the deep dive into Yesterday and Today’s infamous Butcher Cover is chock full of info on its origins, backlash and legacy.

Furthermore, inside-baseball-style Beatlemaniacs will find the Rubber Soul and Revolver session notes fascinating. But most of 240 pages are worthy of little more than skimming.

And some are not even skim-worthy.

Yesterday and Today (also rendered as "Yesterday" ... and Today in part of the original packaging) is a studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. Released in the United States and Canada in June 1966, it was their ninth album issued on Capitol Records and twelfth American release overall. Typical of the Beatles' North American discography until 1967, the album contains songs that Capitol had withheld from its configurations of the band's recent EMI albums, along with songs that the group had released elsewhere on non-album singles. Among its 11 tracks are songs from the EMI albums Help! and Rubber Soul, and three new 1966 recordings that would appear on Revolver in countries outside North America.

Yesterday and Today is remembered primarily for the controversy surrounding its original cover image. Known as the "butcher cover", it was taken by photographer Robert Whitaker and shows the band dressed in white coats and covered with decapitated baby dolls and pieces of raw meat. Although the photo was intended to be part of a larger work critiquing the adulation afforded the Beatles, the band members insisted it was a statement against the Vietnam War. Others interpreted it as the Beatles protesting the record company's policy of "butchering" their albums for the North American market. In response to retailers' outrage at the gory subject matter, Capitol immediately withdrew the LP and replaced the cover image with a shot of the band posed around a "steamer" trunk.
