Sixty years since the Fabs’ “butcher” album cover debacle. I wonder just how many of those reviewers did actually obey the request to return their misbegotten original copies, or did they all just think to themselves “fuck that, I’ve got a collector’s item here”… original first state butcher covers will set you back thousands now, with a still-shrinkwrapped original stereo copy having gone for $125,000 ten years ago. Just a few weeks later they’d be pissing off Imelda Marcos and Christians in the southern US, and then releasing their best album to date. What a period mid-1966 was.
