Well, if you hit the link and read the article, you will get a paragraph on each of the covers and why the record companies made them make new ones! For example:

The Beatles, Yesterday and Today

When Capitol released Yesterday and Today, cobbled together from other albums including Revolver and Help! the Fab Four, reportedly outraged that their art was being "butchered", posed for this photo. Capitol released it in June 1966, but faced with rejection by distributors, they had to recall thousands of "Butcher" LPs. Panicked, they rustled up a gloomy and unflattering photo - ever since known as the Trunk Cover - and pasted them over the recalled jackets. In that process, they created one of the holy grails of record collecting.

The album art from "Undertow" by Tool, was also a victim of this.

When it was first released, stores refused to stock it because of the "explicit" artwork (a mangled ribcage).

Instead, they repleaced it (ironically) with a giant white bar-code. On the inside, was a message to send to Tool, in order to obtain the artwork free of charge.
