The Beatles of Yesterday and Today


Strangely, out of the thirteen album covers the band has released officially, the band has not portrayed images as negative and violent as they have in the 'Butcher Cover'. The reason behind publicizing the original 'Butcher' Cover and then replacing it with a rather different and simpler cover develops a confusing mystery.
             The title song of the album is named as 'Yesterday'. The song starts with the phrase "Yesterday all my troubles seemed do far away" which gives us a sense of the beauty of yesterday and how the Beatles miss their past. They now have so much fame attached to them and this fame has led them into so many troubles today. Thus they might have depicted their past with smiling faces and their present with butchered baby dolls. Conversely they might be loving their today and the smiling faces might portray their happiness for today and the latter might portray their less famous, or not so great life as a child. The song portrays how 'Yesterday' was so significant for the Beatles, how they miss their past and how they are facing so many troubles in their today due to all the fan following and staying away from their families or loved ones.
             The new album cover was released as the butcher cover was not accepted by the public. But the newer album cover had absolutely no resemblance to the latter. In the new album cover one can see the four posing and showcasing their smiley faces. The new album cover displays the band in a form they had been done prior, which is prominently seen in the album covers of 'Please Please me' and 'With the Beatles'. The original album cover did have much more to it. But replacing the original album cover with an image where the band is posing with a trunk and smiling to the camera questions the authenticity of the original. Applying a totally new album cover confuses the purpose of the original.
             The newer album cover had total resemblance to some of the previous album covers.
