The Beatles: 'Yesterday and Today' – The sleeve to the 1966 US only release was dubbed 'The Butcher Cover' for pretty obvious reasons. Photographer Robert Whitaker took the photo of the band sounded by meat and decapitated baby dolls for a conceptual art project called 'A Somnambulant Adventure'. It was John Lennon who pushed for the photo to be used, but when promo copies were issued outrage duly ensued. Eventually, the cover was pulled for a much tamer image.
