Additional Notes
THIS IS A SECOND STATE BUTCHER COVER PRESSING!
COVER
Ringwear
Moderate
Edgewear
Heavy
Storage Wear
Heavy
Seam Splits
It appears that all three seams of the cover had split and have been retaped by a previous owner. This tape has yellowed and chipped over time as can clearly be seen in the pictures posted above.
Additional Notes
Although there is a Moderate amount of discoloration on the front cover, Ringo’s V-Neck can still be seen. Also, the lower right hand corner of the cover has been slightly peeled (approx. 2 1/8” at its’ highest point) to reveal a piece of Ringo’s black pant leg and the grey background behind him (see pictures.)
Please note that there are also what appear to be peel attempts on the lower left hand and upper right hand corners of the cover. The peel attempt on the lower left hand corner has caused a slight rip in the cover art itself (see pictures.) This does appear to be easily fixed, but I am not an expert in Butcher Cover peeling. Should you decide to finish the peel job, I would recommend contacting a professional.
There is also a light to moderate amount of staining present on the front and back cover as well as a partial sticker removal on the front cover.
VINYL
Surface Scratching
Light
Scuffing
There is a Light to Moderate amount of needle scuffing present on both sides of the record, slightly one slightly heavier on Side 1. None of these marks can be felt to the touch.
Play Tested
Yes
Surface Noise
A Light amount, heard mostly in the quieter sections of the record.
Skips
No
Additional Notes
There is a small rip on the Side 1 label above the spindle hole (see pictures.)
This record is a very enjoyable listen!

A NOTE FROM THE SELLER:
Please note that because of the rarity of this item, it is being sold AS IS. Please ask any and all questions before bidding on this item. Thank you!
A NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS:
I CANNOT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY ON THIS ITEM. I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE.
BELOW I HAVE POSTED THE GRADING SYSTEM I USE FOR ALL MY RECORDS:
SEALED: Sealed at factory and never opened. Vinyl is assumed to be mint, but cannot be sure until opening.
NM: When I grade something near mint, you know the only thing that isn't perfect about it is that someone actually opened it. There could be a light scuff mark or two from taking it out of the sleeve. The jacket will look like new.
VG++: These LPs appear not to have been played more than once or twice. You can expect to see scuffs or other insignificant surface marks very minor that will have no effect whatsoever on the sound of the recording. Jacket will show very slight, just beginning ring wear. Maybe a little wear in the corners.
VG+: Records in this condition have obviously been played a few times, though they have been well taken care of. You can expect to see a few light marks, but they should have a minimal effect, if any at all, on the sound of the recording. Jacket will very likely show noticeble ring and edge wear and maybe one or two other minor flaws. Anything more will be noted.
VG: These albums have been played quite a few times and although not abused you will see and hear signs of use. But, the music will dominate your listening experience and you shouldn't be overwhelmed by the various vinyl nuances, such as tics, pops, crackles and hisses. You should still be able to sit back and fully enjoy listening to an album in this condition.
Jacket will have a number of flaws, such as heavy ring and seam wear, writing, small seam splits, stickers, etc.
G: I try not to go here, but if it's a rare or exceptionally great piece of music that must be heard, then I'll offer it. But the noise will be very noticeable, and you'll want to find a better copy. Still, the record will be fully playable, and you should enjoy it because it's such wonderful music. Jackets in this condition will have large seam splits, large writing, paper tears, or water damage. But it will still be fully capable of protecting the album inside.
F: I'll never go here on both the vinyl and jacket. This would have to be a case where the vinyl was playable with a bad jacket OR a real special jacket with the record not of much use. You won't see this very often!
