Don’t Blame it on the Butcher, but Listen!

Beatle fans will get a bloody treat the weekend of June 6-7th when we spotlight the infamous Butcher Cover album, along with the story and its incredible music. Historians may know that The Beatles “Yesterday and Today” album, a repackaging of UK singles for America, became famous for its cover, a shocking photo of The Boys dressed up in butcher smocks holding dolls and cut up pieces of meat.

The cover photo, taken by photo artist Robert Whitaker, so shocked record store owners and reviewers, that it was immediately recalled by Capitol Records, who chose to paste a rather tame slick over the offending cover. Little did they know that they were only increasing the value of the ones that got away.

Today, Butcher Cover albums in sealed condition can for as much as $50,000, even the pasted-over ones command big bucks.

We’ll hear from Butcher experts Bruce Spizer, Jason Anjourian and Gary Hein on the album’s notoriety, plus historical interviews from John Lennon in 1974 and more recently, Ringo Starr’s comments on the album to Joe Johnson last year when he was kicking off his All Starr Band tour.

Don’t forget to click on the “After Brunch” that weekend to see some of Gary Hein’s pristine Butcher Cover albums that he has in his collection and for sale. Gary is an expert on the album and has professionally peeled more than 100 Butcher Covers. Don’t ruin history by trying to peel yours yourself, call Gary at 732-219-1988 or visit him online at www.Beatles4Me.com.

Beatle Brunch Celebrates Year 18

It was 20 (almost) years ago today, that Sgt. Pepper taught Joe to play on Beatle Brunch, and beginning May 31, 2009, we begin our 18th year of playing Fab tunes every week on the longest running Beatles program in Radio syndication.

This weekend we’re featuring “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, the album we spotlighted on our first broadcast back in 1992.

The idea for Beatle Brunch was born when Joe was driving his then new 1992 Mitzubishi Eclipse, the first car he ever owned with an in-dash CD player. He was on a long ride to see the family in Miami and popped his Beatles CDs into the player. He was so amazed at the quality and clarity (wait until 09/09/09 when the remasters come out!) that he immediately dreamed up the idea of producing a weekly radio show featuring the Fab Four. His Program Director at the radio station in South Florida was hot for it, and so began Joe Johnson’s Beatle Brunch, born May 31, 1992.

The show opened in 5 radio markets: Miami, Baltimore, Laconia, Indianapolis and Washington DC. Since that time, Beatle Brunch has branched out to nearly 120 radio stations in the U.S., Canada and The Virgin Islands via Westwood One and can also be heard in streaming audio via www.BrunchRadio.com/Stations.

Joe would like to personally thank all of the Beatle fans who have made the show such a lasting success, as well as the many sponsors and supporters over the years, including Mark Lapidos at www.TheFest.com, Tom Fontaine from www.RockandRollInvestments.com, Russ Lease at www.BeatleSuits.com, Gary Hein at www.Beatles4Me.com, Anthony Parisi from www.ParisiStudios.com, Bruce Spizer at www.Beatle.net, Don E. Gee and Bob River at www.AmeriMediaUSA.com, Rob and Deb Korhonen from www.ArtandSoulGraphics.com, plus our pals Mr. Beatle, Tom Frangione, Ed Rudy, The Fab Faux, Revolution, Bootleg Beatles, Yesterday, The Fab Four, 1964, Rain, Silver Seas Cruises, Tony Bramwell, May Pang, Nancy Lee Andrews, Laurence Juber, Pete Best, Louise Harrison, Larry Kane, Joe Blumenstein, Westwood One and all the rest!
