Description

Up for auction:
What a find!
The Beatles 'Yesterday And Today' partially peeled Second State (rarer) stereo cover with LP, original company inner sleeve and I'm including a repro copy of the Capitol Records recall letter. This is in pretty amazing condition all around for its age and a good candidate for peeling. This is a Los Angeles pressing that was issued on June 20, 1966. There are professional removal resources available who can assist you unless you're familiar with the process.
At any rate, here is a chance for you to own a copy!
Vinyl - side 1 VG+ name in sharpie on label            side 2 VG  I was tempted to rate side two the same but there is a hairline scratch on the last two tracks that makes tics. Essentially a really great listening experience.
Cover - G it doesn't appear that the attempted removal of the Trunk cover has damaged the original butcher slick underneath. Shelf wear on top seam with a 2" split at mouth Bottom seam split nearly all the way across Spine is intact with a bit of paper cracking typical for these pressings I've included a photo at bottom center where previous owner used a sharpie for some reason Original company sleeve w/2" bottom center split
A great addition to your collection! Reasonable starting bid.
Please review the photographs as they depict the condition pretty clearly.  I have described the condition of the item(s) to the best of my ability. I have been a collector of vinyl for many decades and I'm happy to answer any questions regarding the condition so please don't hesitate to ask!
I will ship promptly within a day or two after receiving payment. Your item will be shipped in a sturdy cardboard record mailer with the LP outside of the cover.
Thank you for checking out my auction. More to come!
