See Yesterday and Today (Mono)


From Billboard – June 25, 1966
From The Beatles Yesterday and Today “Buy Beatles Here” Vintage | Lot #4093 | Heritage Auctions (ha.com) – From The Beatles Yesterday and Today “Buy Beatles Here” Vintage Promotional Poster (Capitol Records,1966). How cool is this? A rare and seldom seen promotional poster for the Yesterday and Today album by Capitol Records, with “BUY BEATLES HERE!” printed in red on top. Featuring the replacement artwork due to the scandalous “Butcher Cover.” The poster features an image of the Beatles and a trunk with the tracks listed from the album. These have become more scarce than the “Butcher Cover” poster first released. Poster measures approx: 18″ by 21.5″ In mat measuring approx: 21 1/2″ by 25 1/4″. Poster is in Very Fine condition showing fold marks, staining, minor paper loss and a few tape stains on the verso. A nice example that will frame up well and look great in the collection. COA from Heritage Auctions. From the Connie and Dennis Dailey Monumental Beatles Collection.
