The U.S. (we're sorry!) not only came up with the cheesiest versions of the albums themselves but some pretty idiotic covers on them with no imagination at all. I skipped A Hard Days Night 'cause it wasn't a complete album and Help! was pretty close to the original. I go with Beatles '65. They look ridiculous!

I've noticed the same thing. They are all very choppy and irritating. Thankfully now its more common in the US to see the great original covers.

Tasteless... With the butcher cover on top of them. Even John Lennon had to admit it was tasteless, later on.

cant decide

May have been tastless, but it sure was brave!

That's your opinion. I call it childish, in any thinkable way.

I don't think its any more sick than what Monty Python would've done.

I thought the "Butcher Cover" was more bizzare than anything else, and I kinda like it If for nothing else the shock value. So I vote for "Something New" as it was shot far off and blurry.....blah! I hate that one, but "The Early Beatles" runs a close second.

I agree. Granted, it IS a bad cover. I just think it's funny they would try and pull off a stunt like that. The look on George's face kills me every time.

How was it childish?
I think it's great in both an experimental and original way.

I opicked Something New because it's too bland of a cover with them on Ed Sullivan but Beatles VI has a GREAT cover of the band on the front.

The 'Trunk' cover. Paul looks green, like he's seasick and about ready to yip his guts out. I could never figure what George is wearing, it looks like a stuffed sweater under his shirt. I don't even think it was the correct image, I don't remember John with his hair parted on the right. Maybe it was deliberate, maybe they wanted to put as bland of a cover on after the Butcher controversy. They were so photogenic and they all look sick.

why was introducing the beatles not entered??????it blows far harder,,,,,

I was thinking of the Vee Jays, but there were 3 or 4 different versions and covers of the same album and I thought that would get a bit redundant. So I stuck with the Capitols. Out of the Vee Jays, I would say The Beatles vs The Four Seasons was the most pathetic.

i would say my favorite cover is the savage young beatles cover....and not just because i am a pete best fan but because face it they looked cool in leather.....
