Why 50,000 Beatles ‘butcher’ LP covers could be buried in Needham

Boston Beatles fans may want to break out their shovels: could 50,000 rare Beatles “butcher” covers really be buried in a Needham landfill?

On June 27, 1966, historical archives show Boston’s Capitol Records team finished burying thousands of the now-collectible “Yesterday and Today” record covers in the Needham town dump.

Ryan Walsh, a local author, indie musician, and musical historian of sorts, shared his discovery on Twitter on June 25. He posted photos of a June 28, 1966 memo describing the records’s destruction, and a June 25, 1966 Boston Globe article on why the covers were destroyed.
