BEATLES LP Yesterday & Today rare MONO Butcher Cover UNPEELED second state

This week we are offering up for auction a nice collection of original Beatles LPs & 45s as well as a few pieces by similar bands - please check out our other listings for items similar to this one. We are thrilled and honored to present for auction this week a simply gorgeous MONO SECOND STATE “Butcher Cover” version of the Beatles landmark album “Yesterday and Today.”
Provenance:  This album was purchased by the original owner when it came out, almost all of the other LPs for auction this week are also from the same owner.  I purchased it directly from the original owner - you would be only the second owner.  This is a gorgeous Second State - absolutely no attempts to peel have been made - it would make an excellent candidate if you sought your own Peel Project or just to own as an amazing uncompromised Second State example.  Please see multiple photos of the telltale “V” of Ringo’s sweater as well as the bottom left hand corner where the slick was applied slightly askew and a peek of the dark graphics of the original cover can be seen.
Cover Grade:  Unfortunately, this LP was not in the original shrink wrap like the other LPs we are selling this week.  However, it is still in great condition.  Please see the multiple high def photos for more details.  
I would grade the cover a very solid VG+ There are some mild discolorations but it looks much better in person than it photographs - unfortunately the previous owner stuck a label on the back bottom right corner as shown - maybe you can get it off?  I did not attempt to remove it.  Corners are pretty sharp - again, please see photos.
Vinyl Grade:   VG-  There are a number of large but light (non-feelable) marks on both sides but it plays well and wonderfully on my stereo - no problems at all.  Will be professionally cleaned on a VPI before shipping.
Comes with Capitol factory printed inner sleeve as shown.  The inner sleeve had a 3-4” bottom seam split that was taped with scotch tape.
There is also a sticker on the center label of the A-side as shown
My conservative grading scale: M/NM/EX/VG/G
All LPs are original vintage pressings.   We do not sell recent reissues.
We have been on eBay for almost 20 years with 100% positive feedback - please bid with confidence!
