Description
Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.
THE BEATLES
Yesterday and Today
Original 1966 US Capitol Mono Press!
This listing is for an original 1966 mono copy of the American Capitol LP 'Yesterday and Today'.
The subject of one of the most controversial moments in music history, the 'trunk' cover was the result of a huge backlash against the infamous 'Butcher' cover where the group posed in butcher's smocks and were draped in meat and decapitated baby dolls.
This is a standard copy and does not have a Butcher hiding underneath, but is still a very nice example of this US only Beatles LP.
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.
Title Yesterday and Today Year of Release 1966 Catalogue Number T 2553 Label Rainbow Capitol Tax Code on Disc - Sleeve Manufacturer 4 (Jacksonville, Illinois) Side 1 Matrix Number T1-2553-G12 Side 2 Matrix Number T2-2553-G10 Side 1 Stampers - Side 2 Stampers - Sleeve Condition The sleeve is in EX- condition. The sleeve is holding up solidly with no splitting of any kind on the seams and just a little wear at the left of the bottom seam. There's light, general wear and tear as you can see in the photos, but nothing at all excessive. There's a little damage to the trunk slick at the top left corner - probably from where a previous owner was trying to see if they had a Butcher or not. Inner Sleeve Condition The inner sleeve is in EX- condition. The inner sleeve is very clean but there's a little glue discolouration on one side. The side seams are hlding fine but there's a tiny split in the middle of the bottom seam. Inserts Condition - Disc Condition(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in VG+/EX- condition. The disc has a beautiful, clean shine to it and has some light scuffing. There's nothing serious or nasty looking, though. Label Condition The labels are in NM condition. The labels are spotless with no visible spindlemarks!
All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.
Records are posted out tracked and insured (where applicable) to comply with eBay and PayPal seller protection policy.
The P+P costs given on each auction are for that auction only. If you win more than one auction please wait until I've
sent you out an amended invoice to combine postage.
All LPs will be mailed out in a strong, corrugated cardboard LP mailing box with the LP outside the sleeve and extra
sheets of corrugated cardboard will be used where applicable.
My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
