I've heard about that album cover but this is the first time for me to see it. It looks really macabre and gross to me. Slightly disturbing even that The Beatles would appear in a photo session like that too.

What's wrong with you LL? Are you going to make constructive contributions to this forums or are you just playing the angry youngster? If so, please go playing somewhere else. I get a bit fed up with your puberty.

They did it to represent the "butchering" of their album in the U.S., I think they should of kept the original cover, it made more sense

That's what Lennon said later, but it may not be true.
It was part of a larger project by the photographer with an umbilical cord (symbolised by a string of sausages!) and a photo montage.
Capitol were so eager to get a recent photo that they didn't think enough before putting this out.
Whoever gave the OK should have been fired.

It gives us another 'Paul is Dead' clue at least. There's a set of teeth on Paul's right arm, not to mention the decapitated doll. I got a copy of that letter as a present for Christmas a few years ago, matted with a picture of the Butcher cover.

There's some interesting facts on the collectibility of the Butcher Covers albums.  The original Butcher Cover is worth alot (but there are fakes).  There are also some with the new cover (Beatles in steamer trunk) that were plastered over the Butcher Cover (apparently you can see the Butcher Cover under or around Ringo's head (or something like that).  I think these are even more valuable than the original butcher cover.  Then there are the peel-offs, where people have tried to remove the second cover to reveal the butcher (these are worth less, especially if it's a bad peel job).  

I never liked the Butcher cover much--as supposed "pop art" or a statement.  But the Beatles in the trunk is definitely worse.  Definitely the worst cover of a Beatles album (even worse than the fake fifties Rock and Roll Music album).  

Please correct me if I'm wrong with the facts re. Butcher.  I read this stuff a long time ago.
