Back in 1966 the Yesterday and Today album by the Beatles was originally released with the cover seen above. Since it was so grotesque Capital Records recalled them and re-released the record with a simple cover with the Beatles standing around a trunk. One day back then I was in Greenwich Village and visited the House of Oldies which has a butcher cover on sale for $20. Back in those days I didn't have that kind of money with me so I didn't buy it. Now these albums are on sale for thousands of dollars.Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired 8 years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 37 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Remembering the Beatles Butcher Cover
