BEATLES YESTERDAY/TODAY SECOND STATE PASTE-OVER STEREO "BUTCHER" COVER FOR PEEL

$

490

 THE BEATLES ~ YESTERDAY AND TODAY ~ CAPITOL ST-2553. THIS RELEASE FROM 1966 HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS (OR INFAMOUS) RECORD COVERS EVER. THIS IS THE SECOND STATE "TRUNK" COVER WHICH WAS PASTED OVER THE "BUTCHER" COVER UPON RECALL BY CAPITOL SOON AFTER RELEASE (TECHNICALLY IT WAS RECALLED BEFORE RELEASE!). THIS IS THE SCARCER STEREO ISSUE. THIS HAS THE COVER READY FOR A PEEL JOB BY A PROFESSIONAL TO REVEAL THE ORIGINAL COVER UNDERNEATH. THIS COVER IS NOT IN GOOD ENOUGH SHAPE TO KEEP IN THIS STATE, SO YOU CAN FEEL GUILT FREE ABOUT HAVING IT PEELED!  I'M GRADING THIS VG (VERY GOOD). IT HAS SOME PENCIL WRITING TLHC), LIGHT WATER STAINING ALONG THE BOTTOM, A 6" SPLIT TO THE BOTTOM SEAM AND A TEAR OF "LIFT" DAMAGE URHC ALONG THE OPENING. THIS IS PLAINLY SEEN IN PICTURES AND THE ORIGINAL COVER BENEATH SHOWS NO DAMAGE AT THIS SPOT. THE ORIGINAL COVER IS VISABLE ALONG THE BOTTOM SLICK TO THE LEFT (AND RING'S BLACK TEE SHIRT IS EASILY VISIBLE - BUT NOT IN THE ONE PHOTO IT SHOULD BE!) AND THERE'S A BIT OF LIFT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUNK.THERE IS WEAR TO THE B/C. THE SPINE IS PRETTY NICE OVERALL, BUT NOT ALIGNED PERFECT (TYPICAL OF THIS TITLE). THERE ARE CORNER DINGS/WEAR.

ALL THAT  MAY SOUND PRETTY BAD, BUT IT SEEMS THE ORIGINAL COVER UNDERNEATH IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE (EXCEPT FOR THE WATER DAMAGE) OVERALL. A PROFESSIONAL SHOULD BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE TRUNK SLICK (AND EASILY FIX THE SEAM SPLIT) AND YOU SHOULD END UP WITH A NICE THIRD STATE STEREO COVER TO FRAME. THIS IS A NUMBER "5" COVER FROM THE LOS ANGELES PRESSING PLANT AND THE "STAR" IMPRINT IN THE DEADWAX CONFIRMS THIS.  THE L.A. COVERS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE EASIER TO PEEL THAN SOME FROM OTHER PRESSING PLANTS. THERE ARE NO "CIRCULAR" IMPRINTS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE COVER LEFT FROM THE RE-COVERING MANUFACTURING PROCESS AS ON SOME COVER VARIATIONS (POSSIBLY ONLY ON NUMBER "6" COVERS?).

THIS COVER  INCLUDES  AN ORIGINAL DISC/RECORD WHICH IS TOASTED AND GRADED "P" FOR POOR. YOU ARE NOT BUYING THIS FOR THE DISC, BUT IT IS INCLUDED (IF YOU WANT IT). NO ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE EITHER. YOU SHOULD BE BIDDING ON THIS WITH THE INTENTION OF HAVING IT PEELED AND IT HAS A CHEAP OPENING BID THAT REFLECTS THAT.

 PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE THE WINNING BIDDER ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE EXPECT TO HEAR FROM ME NO SOONER THAN MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 10 REGARDING BILLING, ET AL. THANKS!
