The Beatles "Yesterday and Today" album cover ("butcher cover", circa 1966)

The beatles album cover for “Yesterday and Today” was a bit controversial to say the least; it featured the members dressed in butcher coats holding raw meat and baby-doll parts.  

Multiple angles and shots were produced and you can easily google “beatles butcher cover” for the alternative takes – if you can stomach it.

After an outcry, they rereleased it with alternative covers.  It was released in 1966, or is it 1666?

While the members insisted (at the time) it was in protest of the Vietnam war, I call bullshit.   It is a celebration of the carnage the elite love so dear that has been happening yesterday and today.  Pun intended!

Is this a nod to child sacrifice?  Who knows but it is quite graphic and disturbing for a brit-pop band.

As King Solomon stated God’s wisdom, he gave us Ecclesiastes 1:9-11.

And so it is.

They’re part of the elite. It’s what they do. Of course we, you don’t get it. We/you still have what some refer to as a soul.
