We dropped another 3 - yesterday... And Today, 1, and remastered. I'm a little surprised that we are dropping some of the relatively tastefully designed (though, perhaps, minimalist) later designs, and keeping some of the less salubrious cobbled together sleeves of the original US run. However, that is the will of the people.
EXCEPT WE DIDN'T LOSE YESTERDAY & TODAY. I MESSED UP, OK? DON'T KEEP GOING ON ABOUT IT!!!
And off we go again...

The Beatles 20 Greatest
I'm surprised this is still here as I though it got a couple votes but I choose it again for zero originality.

John, could you put Yesterday... And Today back in, please. I messed up on the voting and bloody Woolie called me on it. I don't know what's the matter with people. We Brits should stick together. So that's one less out of the running, another month to spend voting folks, and you've got Woolie to thank...

In this case, the game master's vote for Y&T should count so we could have the blasted thing out of the running once and for all!! Once again, Yesterday...and Today. A pathetic photograph with little or no aesthetic value, and the Mop Tops look utterly despondent.

As requested, Y&T is restored above(just when the string of covers was getting shorter). I find it a fascinating photo because of how unphotogenic the lads look. It has been suggested that maybe they were bitter about having to redo the cover but who knows when this replacement cover was shot. It could have been shot before the Butcher Cover photo was taken! I've never seen John look quite like he does in this photo. Weirdly fascinating.

BEATLES 20 GREATEST HITS
Very unimaginative. As i said before the "minimalist" thing was cool with THE WHITE ALBUM, but after that was redundant.

"YESTERDAY...AND TODAY"
Awful layout. Poor use of negative and positive space. Awful photo (which is reversed). I like the one Capitol came up with after scrapping the butcher before settling on this awful thing.

Hollywood Bowl. Totally missed the opportunity to reflect the excitement they generated.

I made a similar comment on this cover in Round 5 but I still hate Beatles Greatest. I don't mind Beatles greatest much. It has that "what's under the die-cut sleeve" mystery about it. And it's a really good collage of Beatles photos from the promo poster for Rock & Roll Music. And George is poking out through the center. I suspect your issue with it is that you can't see much Ringo in it. And I have several of those r&r music posters around (also a bunch of those clotheslines they put out. Thought I'd sell them through the Strawberry Fields Forever fanzine. Sold one. Little matter, I could always list them on eBay. But I digress.) So I like greatest hits artwork ok. My sights are set on Yesterday and Today and the poorly-photographed Help! sleeves (though I love the music within.) Feels like we all can't wait to get to the final 10 in this competition.

I'll take BEATLES VI this time. The dull brown background and the weird cropping of the photo to show the knife but not the cake is enough to get my vote.

I'd say we're moving at a glacial pace, but we just got passed by one...

I am using my executive power as organiser to cheat and cast 2 votes this time, for Yesterday & Today and Beatles VI. This is to speed things up.
