SteveYesterday... and Today. The original cover had a photo of the Beatles wearing butcher jackets, and covered in pieces of meat, baby-doll parts, and false teeth. Strong objections to the first copies caused the album to be yanked from store shelves, until a different cover could be printed. The original cover photo came to be called the "Butcher Cover".
Many of the first run had the second cover pasted over the original; clever fans discovered they could steam off or peel the pasted cover. Those covers (peeled or not) became collectors items, nearly as valuable as the plain original covers.

What was the title of the beatles 1966 album that they had to change the cover on because it was so offensive?
I believe that was the American released album, Yesterday and Today. The original 'butcher' album cover had The Beatles in white butchers' outfits, covered in decapitated baby dolls and meat. This was considered offensive so the cover was changed.
