THE BEATLES YESTERDAY AND TODAY MONO LP VINYL RECORD

2nd/Second State Butcher Cover, Unpeeled, Great Cond!!

Attention all Beatles fans! Take the opportunity to bid on this wonderful piece of Rock history! Here we have the famous Yesterday and Today album by the Beatles...

A short story on the album cover
Back when Yesterday and Today was originally released in the mid-60's, the album was comprised of songs from the American versions of three other Beatles LPs, plus both sides of an earlier 45. Instead of the normal cover of your typical four happy Beatles, they were dressed in butchers' smocks with slabs of raw red meat, glass eyeballs, false teeth and nude decapitated dolls strewn around them. When DJs and others received the first copies of the record, they complained about the gruesome sleeve. Capitol had to recall the record. All the promotional material for the album was destroyed and the album was reissued five days later with it's substitute cover as you see it today. Many of 750,000 or so original "butcher" cover sleeves went back into record stores with the new cover pasted over the old one. Some of the covers were steamed and peeled off to reveal the controversial original cover and some were left intact, as this one we offer here.

There are no doubts that this is one of those records. In the original Butcher image, Ringo is wearing a white butcher coat with a black undershirt, creating a 'V' effect that is clearly seen through the replacment cover near the open lid of the trunk. This album is number T2553, and the record is marked T-X-1-2553 on side one and T-X-2-T553 on side two. The record is the Monophonic version.

Our Reserve is Set at a Low $99.99!

CONDITION

Please refer to the pictures for a general idea of the condition of the item.

This album has the usual normal ring worn into the cover (both sides), it's no too bad or prominent. There are some fingerprints in the upper left hand corner of the front and some little droplet stains on the upper right.
On the back, there are some more droplet stains on the upper right hand corner and on the bottom in the center there is a larger water stain measuring approximately 6" wide by 1.5" tall. Perhaps if you were careful enough and savvy about cleaning, the little droplet stains could be cleaned off (could be, but we're not attempting it).
The cover has not been written on!
The seams of the cover have wear, but no splitting. Although the 'Y' in word "Yesterday" has worn away.
The record does come with its original sleeve (has some folds and some small tears, that's about it).
The record itself is in good condition, it does have a scuff on Side 2, it measures approximately 1" tall by 0.5" wide. It seems our camera however, overemphasized the bad and underemphasized the good. The scuff is not white, that's reflection from the camera.
The record does have the usual minor surface scratching from being used and being taking out of it's sleeve and so on. No serious gouges or scratches. (Even the scuff didn't look that deep).
The record Does Not look to be warped at all.
