For the shoot, Whitaker took a series of pictures of the group dressed in butcher smocks and draped with pieces of meat and body parts from plastic baby dolls. The group played along as they were tired of the usual photo shoots; John Lennon recalled the band's "boredom and resentment at having to do another photo session and another Beatles thing".[13] Whitaker's concept was also compatible with their own black humour.[12] Although not originally intended as an album cover, the Beatles submitted photographs from the session for their promotional materials. According to a 2002 interview published in Mojo, former Capitol president Alan W. Livingston stated that it was Paul McCartney who pushed strongly for the photo's inclusion as the album cover, and that McCartney reportedly described it as "our comment on the [Vietnam] war".[14] In the United States, Capitol Records printed approximately 750,000 copies of Yesterday and Today with this so-called "butcher" cover.[15][16] A fraction of the original covers were shipped to disc jockeys and reviewers as advance copies. Reaction was immediate, as Capitol received complaints from some dealers. The record was immediately recalled under orders from Capitol parent company EMI chairman Sir Joseph Lockwood[17] and all copies were ordered shipped back to the record label, leading to its rarity and popularity among collectors. The cover photo was replaced with a picture of the four band members posed around an open trunk.At the time, some of the Beatles defended the use of the butcher photograph. Lennon said that it was "as relevant as Vietnam" and McCartney said that their critics were "soft".[15] However, this opinion was not shared by all band members. George Harrison said in The Beatles Anthology that he thought the whole idea "was gross, and I also thought it was stupid. Sometimes we all did stupid things thinking it was cool and hip when it was naïve and dumb; and that was one of them."[12] In 2007 George Martin, the Beatles' producer, recalled that the cover had been the cause of his first strong disagreement with the band. He added: "I thought it was disgusting and in poor taste … It suggested that they were madmen. Which they were, but not in that way."[18] ARTIST: The BeatlesTITLE: Yesterday And TodayLABEL/CATALOG NUMBER: Capitol ST 2553MONO/STEREO: STEREODead wax info side 1 : ST1 - 2553-b8#2 side 2 : ST2 -2553 -b8RECORD: VG- record has many fine scratches and scuffs, most of the noise is below the music, But you hear noise in queiter parts and between songs, you can play it, and it's not absolutely horrible, but think of it as you are buying it for the cover.COVER: Top spine has a four inch seam split, top right corner one inch split, spine has been taped but tape is split also..Left spine, taped all the way across with a two inch seam split in the center.
