Beatles Rare Window Shade Butcher Cover 

You are bidding on a genuine rare 1966 Mono 3rd State "Window Shade" (peeled) example of arguably the most desired collectible rock record in existence.  It is called a Window Shade because it was professionally peeled 
leaving the trunk slick still attached at the very top of the jacket so that the owner can have "the best of both worlds" so to speak (peeled to view the entire Butcher slick in its gory glory, but also with the trunk slick still attached at the top to also have the appearance of a 2nd state/unpeeled as well).  A video was posted on thebutchercover  youtube channel of this actual Butcher Cover.  See the closeup photo showing how precisely the trunk slick was peeled to the beginning of the top white border of he jacket.

This package comes complete with a COA from TheButcherCover  certifying the peeling process. The ButcherCover  is a professional restoration company that consistently provides the best quality peels often seen being sold here on Ebay by a variety of sellers. 

Also included will be a quality reproduced recall letter and many fun extras about this unusual and coveted album release.

The peel is equally as nice and this presents as well as nearly any jacket we have offered in the past. Factory glue lines and/or residue is very very light.  Most of the peels offered on the internet have noticeable damage to the Butcher slick, but not the case here. This is a gorgeous peel.  

Overall, this is a solid jacket as far as the seams and spine with only light wear and a top right noticeable corner bump. The top seam on this is complete with just a tiny crack on each end of the seam. Bottom seam is complete. The spine is nice and complete with all printing legible. The back of the jacket is fairly clean with just the lightest of wear and the aforementioned top right corner bump.  Please view all attached photos for details. 

Comes with an original VG (visual grade w/many light sleeve scratches) Mono Scranton pressing and goldenrod 1966 inner sleeve in nice condition. The Vinyl plays through without skipping both there is some minor light noise here and there (mostly on "Day Tripper"). The trunk slick is still attached at the top and in condition as shown with some light wear, tear and minor repair. There was a mild stain in the top left corner of the trunk slick that didn't translate too much to the Butcher Slick.

It should be emphasized that Butcher Covers of this quality and grade are highly desired by collectors and are genuinely scarce in this condition.

This item is an original 1966 3rd State (Peeled) used example of the legendary Butcher Cover. This item is guaranteed to be authentic. Purchaser understands that this is a used item and therefore we request that that all photos be clearly examined prior to bidding. Given the fact that this item has been professionally peeled and altered from a 2nd state (unpeeled) condition to a 3rd state (peeled) example, this item has condition elements that reflect the process of treatment of the item when it was glued at the Capitol factory in 1966 as well as conditional elements from the actual peeling process. These elements generally involve mild glue lines that were made at the pressing plant when the trunk cover was pasted over but also include some minor issues from the removal and subsequent touch up from the restoration process. This is not a new item but a used one that has been restored through a tedious and careful process.
