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 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.
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.....
How was it childish? I think it's great in both an experimental and original way.
Oh, the butcher was experimental and original, but that doesn't make it a good cover. I think it's childish because it's so silly. 'He he, let's rip those dolls apart. Ha ha. Yeah, great. You pull a leg, John and I pull the head. He he, let's put some bloody meat on our shoulders. Yeah, very funny. That will shock those Americans. Yeh, let's shock them." Schoolboys humour, really.

Well, I certainly don't think it's experimental or arty in any sense of the word. I just think it's funny that they did it to more or less thumb their noses at Capitol Records. At least that's my interpetation of it.
actually sargent peppers was a capitol album..........
What I mean't was that YAT was the last exclusive US release by Capitol. MMT was a little different from the British EP though. Although, I'm not to sure whether The Beatles Again was exclusive to the US or not. Anybody know for sure?
