Yesterday and Today BUTCHER COVER 2nd STATE UNPEELED TRUNK in MONO with ULTRA RARE Label Error. When describing this copy I’ll try to be as much conservative as I can because it’s very important. The cover is in Very Good condition (See pictures). The cover is not dirty, on the contrary, it looks extremely clean (See pictures). There are some areas on the front cover where the pasted picture has bubbled up, and I have tried to capture those in the pictures as best as I can. The edges are in very good condition, having some scuffing (see pictures). The back cover does have some ring wear. The labels are in VG++ condition and don't have any scuffs or wear. The labels are the Black Rainbow Capitol Records labels with the Capitol Records logo and the T-2553 catalog number.Now for the label error. Under the title word "YESTERDAY", there is a strong faint 2nd print of the word YESTERDAY at a 45 degree angle. There are some song titles that are also duplicated to the bottom right of the label. Some Beatles enthusiasts say that the duplicated print of yesterday is symbolic of the butcher cover being "Yesterday", and the Trunk cover and more solid titled "Yesterday" being Today. Although the duplicated yesterday is faint, it is still there, just as the butcher cover is. Not to be forgotten. The full matrix numbers with all of the details in the runout grooves: SIDE 1 - T1-2553-F7 #2 IAM SIDE 2 - T2-2553-F1 #3 IAM
Concerning the playback, the vinyl sounds great. I’d grade the audio as VG+ due to some light occasional background noise and static, and I grade the vinyl as Very Good visually. It retains its shiny factory lacquer, and among the hairlines on the vinyl, there is only 1 very light feelable hairline. There are numerous scuffs from the inner sleeve. As already mentioned above, the vinyl sounds great and any static most likely could get reduced or go away if the record is professionally cleaned with a VPI machine.

***READ CAREFULLY***
Our collection is thoroughly photographed and documented in the rare event that someone bids and wins, upgrades their vinyl, and sends a lower grade disc back to us. This is impossible to get away with due to our cataloguing procedures. If a bidder has opened an account during our listing, it will not be honored. Additionally, if you have low feedback please reach out to us before bidding.
