Description
I am selling more BEATLES LPs from my collection. So, please check my other current and upcoming auctions.
In this auction:
· “YESTERDAY AND TODAY” by the Beatles
· This LP is Capitol Records T 2553.
· This LP is a MONO (Monaural) Pressing which is designated by the letter “T” that precedes the catalog number on both the cover and the labels.
· This LP was issued June 20, 1966.
· This is the “Trunk Cover” that replaced the infamous “Butcher Cover”. This is NOT a Second State (paste over) cover.
· This PRIMARILY WHITE COVER has always been very prone to show even the slightest bit of wear and a difficult cover to find in this NICE, CLEAN and WHITE, CONDITION without wear, staining, or soiling. As you can see, this cover is quite nice, having been protected by the shrink wrap for the past 50+ years. (Check the Images!!)
· According to Perry Cox, this LP, with COVER constructed of cardboard with cover slick pasted on, was issued from Capitol Records’ Scranton pressing plant. This is based on the number “3” printed on the rear cover at lower right.
· The VINYL has the “?” in the trail-off wax. This is the symbol Capitol Records used to identify vinyl pressed at its Scranton Pressing Plant.
· THEREFORE, this cover and vinyl are correctly paired (as they were issued) from the same Capitol pressing plant.
· NOTE: Some sellers may intentionally or accidentally switch vinyl and covers in order to create an LP with a higher grade cover and vinyl, but NOT correctly matched to the same pressing plant. I don’t do that. This is the correct cover and vinyl for this pressing/issue.
· The COVER is in NEAR MINT MINUS CONDITION & STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP. (Only slight aging near the opening keeps me from grading this cover Near Mint.) The shrink wrap has a half-inch split on the bottom at the opening and an old price sticker at the top left corner.
· The VINYL is in STRONG VG+ CONDITION. There are just a few light surface hairlines/scuffs with lots of gloss.
· This LP comes with an ORANGE CAPITOL RECORDS INNER PAPER SLEEVE which is the correct sleeve for this Capitol vinyl issue.
· Due to its primarily white cover, this is a really tough LP cover to find in this nice and clean condition.
This is, DEFINITELY, a VERY NICE COPY of this LP to add to your vinyl collection.
