Description
Beatles Yesterday and Today. Mono. T-2553. This is a second state pasteover. Ringo’s V can be seen in the pics ( it appears about 2 1/4” below the letters “oda” in the word “Today”) in the album’s title. Small number 3 next to the RIAA symbol indicates a (3 – A mono cover that came from the pressing plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania.)
Cover condition : VG plus the only thing I see is a slight ding on the back top left and front top right that shows a very light crease. The cover looks to have some foxing on the front and on the back (See Pictures) Has a few bubbles in the paste over (see pics)
Sleeve condition : Original sleeve has some screasing on the bottom
Vinyl : VG Plus etched in dead wax side 1 : T1 - 2553- F 5 #3 TRIANGLE I AM Side 2 : T2 - 2553- F 7 #4 TRIANGLE I AM
Side 1 has a 4 or 5 hairline scratches that cannot be felt but can be seen but it plays like a VG Plus (VG just to be conservitive)
Side 2 has a few hairline scratches that can barely be seen and none that can be felt plays like VG Plus

"In the original Butcher cover photo, Ringo Starr was wearing a black turtleneck sweater underneath his white butcher smock and the part of the turtleneck that appears in that photo is triangular in shape. On Second State issues, the part of the trunk cover slick that is directly above that black triangular area is all white.
On Second State covers, this black triangle is always visible through the trunk cover, and it appears about 2 1/4” below the letters “oda” in the word “Today” in the album’s title. Assuming that you’re in a room with good light or outside in sunlight, the triangular area will be plainly visible. You won’t have to strain or struggle to see it; if you can’t see it, then you’re holding a later trunk cover version of the album."
GRADING SCALE:
(SS) STILL SEALED / MINT (10.0 / 10.0) Pristine, Looks as if it just came off the manufacturing line, also listed as New, Mint Sealed/Unopened
(NM) NEAR MINT (9.0-9.5 / 10.0) Looks as if it just came from a store and was opened for the first time, maybe played a few times if ever, no evidence of play or wear whatsoever (EX) EXCELLENT (8.0-9.0 / 10.0) also listed as VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS (VG++), LP may have a faint surface mark or two barring it from being truly Near Mint, but sound quality will not be affected at all, cover sleeve is just short of Near Mint, often used for cover sleeves in Shrink, or with no ring wear or staining or easily visible flaws whatsoever, seams and spine fully intact (VG+) VERY GOOD PLUS (7.0-8.0 / 10.0) Shows slight signs of wear, light scuffs or scratches may be present but they do not affect playback other than faint surface noise heard sporadically in between tracks, or the occasional soft click from a surface mark here or there, cover sleeve is considered good yet when observed closely will show to have a flaw or small flaws, very minor ringwear if any, seams and spine intact but not pristine (VG) VERY GOOD (5.0-6.0 / 10.0) more obvious signs of wear and handling, LP has surface noise that is noticeable in some spots but perhaps is quiet and clean in other spots, clicks and pops will be heard, but will not significantly disrupt the music, cover sleeves have more obvious ringwear or marks/staining, seams may have cracking, minor seam splitting or some missing spine text but are still fairly well intact. Writing may be present on label. (VG-) VERY GOOD (3.0-4.0 / 10.0) significant and obvious wear and handling including surface noise throughout, audible scratches which cause clicks and pops and crackle but no skips or repeated grooves, cover sleeve may have significant ringwear and/or staining, seam splits may be evident, label or sleeve may have writing, names, stickers etc (G) GOOD (2.0-3.0 / 10.0) typically only going to be seen on a cover sleeve for a significantly rare album that is in extremely bad shape, lots of splitting etc, yet is still worth owning due to its rarity. We will likely never offer albums with a Vinyl/LP (P) POOR (<1.0 / 10.0
