The Beatles - Yesterday and Today[Butcher Cover, 3rd State, Stereo]Theres one huge exception to that, however. The original release of the album Yesterday and Today by the Beatles, with the so called Butcher cover, is one of the most widely recognized valuable albums in the world, and one that is known to many non collectors. Its also an album that many people who dont specifically collect records by the Beatles would love to have in their collection all because of the albums cover, rather than the musical content.
