The Beatles – ‘Yesterday and Today’ (1966)
The label hated the original cover with The Beatles wearing a butcher’s apron holding headless dolls and with raw meat on their laps. So they bought back all copies, well, almost all. If you kept yours it’s now worth $15,300.
The Rolling Stones – ‘Street Fighting Man’ (1968)
The original cover was of some policemen standing around a protestor on the ground. But the label pulled it because just before the album was released there was a riot in 1968. Somehow, 18 records survived and one was auctioned off for $17,000.
