One of the most infamous album covers in music history, this 1966 US compilation originally had a photo of the Fab Four wearing butchers' smocks and draped in decapitated dolls and meat on its front. It was pulled from those stores that had allowed it to be sold after a day and replaced with a much more anodyne photo of the band. So-called 'first state' versions with the original image are hugely valuable and very rare. A sealed copy sold for $125,000 via Heritage Auctions in 2016.
