The back cover of "Yesterday and Today" is arguably the greatest back cover of a rock album ever.

I love seeing the titles of so many great songs in bold, and then the covers of all those great lost American Beatles LPs. When I was a little kid, I would stare at the back of this album endlessly. When I first saw the actual 12" covers in color at Sam Goody's, it was more than I could handle.

To this day, looking at Beatles album covers is far more interesting than listening to their music.

I used to love those inner sleeves that had row after row of LPs. But then, I get nostalgic over those old Warner Bros/Reprise sampler LPs. I think I'm getting to the 'old and cranky' stage; I'm starting to say things like "back in my day, we not only listened to the whole song, we listened to a whole side!", which gets responses like "what's a side, grandpa?".
