The company pasted the current cover over top of the ones recalled and sent them back out, and continued manufacturing the rest. Some peope steamed off the replacement pictures to have the censored one; some people steamed to find only bare cardboard underneath. Little did we know at the time that it would become a collector's item... my sister and I played the album to death as we did all the Beatles albums as they came out!

Yankovic claims that his parents chose the accordion over the guitar because "they figured there should be at least one more accordion-playing Yankovic in the world"; this was in reference to Frankie Yankovic, to whom he is not related.

    • @jrnfw4060
      @jrnfw4060 2 місяці тому +2

      Yeah, and the sad thing often is that very real talent simply couldn't find a major label that would accept their work, and were therefore forced to self-publish through small, independent studios just to get heard. Also, there's the matter of creative control and artistic freedom. Some of these folks may have had serious problems with being dictated to by powerful suits in some huge ivory tower in some far away city. "If you want it done your way, do it yourself." That can mean very limited resources and having to settle for what one can afford, but at least it's a sincere effort from the heart and not just something that's considered "commercially viable" and often very shallow, fake and phony. Artists who go this route are at least allowed to be themselves and not what some high-powered agent or publisher tells them has to be their "image" in order to sell records.

    “ I spent all my money on actually recording the album and I only have about…..hmmm…..let’s see……about $1.60 for the cover art.”

    The Beatles "Butcher Babies" album cover is the most rare- and the most coveted-album cover in history...

    Now that was tragic..some of the most painfully awkward album covers/photographs I have ever seen.

      And the sad thing is, the people on those covers thought they looked great!

    Strange to see that Beatles album; one of the most iconic, rarest, and if placed on the market, up there with the most expensive albums ever sold, amongst stuff that they would be lucky to get 10 cents each for in a thrift shop.

    Some of those covers were intentionally tacky, such as the Bruce "Baby Man" Baum album, the Edith Massey record, and the Pat Cooper album. The first and last were comedians; Massey was a novelty act best known for being in John Waters films.
