FAMOUS

THE INFAMOUS BUTCHER COVER  USING PRINTING PAPER USED IN THE PRINTING PROCESS THAT WAS UNIQUE AND NEVER USED ON ANY OTHER BEATLES ALBUM. IT WAS CAPITOL ARTIST GEORGE OSAKI WHO DECIDED TO COMBINE THIS SPECIAL TEXTURED STOCK WITH A HIGH DOT MATRIX PRINTING OF THE PHOTO TO GIVE THE COVER THE LOOK OF A PAINTING ON CANVAS 

THE PEELING IS QUITE NICE, NOT PERFECT, SHOWS SOME UNFORTUNATE TEARING AND HAS A PINK RESIDUE IN SPOTS.

THE COVER ITSELF HAS A 2" SPLIT (EASILY FIXED) AT THE BOTTOM NEAR THE OPENING, OTHERWISE IT IS IN GOOD OVERALL SHAPE - SHOWS RINGWEAR ON BACK AND THE SPINE HAS A 2"CRACK AT BOTTOM OF LP. OVERALL THIS IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF A PEELED HIGHLY COLLECTABLE RARER EAST COAST BUTCHER COVER.

COMES WITH ORIGINAL YELLOW CAPITOL INNER SLEEVE

AS FAR AS THE VINYL IS CONCERNED, THIS IS A VERY NICE COPY OF THIS CLASSIC. VINYL IS VG++ AND SOUNDS BETTER, PLAYS VERY WELL HAS SMALL HAIR LINES/SCUFFING AGAINST HEAVY SHINY VINYL VISIBLE UNDER LIGHTS  – NO DEEP FELT SCRATCHES - SUPER VERY SHINY VINYL  PLAYS WITH ALL DYNAMICS WITH EXCELLENT BASS AND HIGHS 

 HAS THE OCCASIONAL NOISE, POP/CLICK AND SOME NOISE BETWEEN TRACKS, BUT COULD BE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS COPY HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED OR TREATED AND WITH A GOOD CLEANING THIS DISC WILL BE EVEN BETTER

LOVELY RECORD!!

A VERY COLLECTABLE VERSION ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION

How I Grade Condition Of Discs

Mint

This means I have owned it from new or purchased from a distributors warehouse, basically it means absolutely new shape, never been played or out of its dust cover. In the case of LP's, a North American album will have to be factory sealed (anyone can reseal an album!) Take Note: European and Japaneses albums were never shrink wrapped!

Note: Being mint does not guarantee it's free of pops and clicks, many pressings especially from the US were made with very poor vinyl and in a hurry which means often there are imperfections in the pressing. As a former importer, we were often given back brand new albums due to clicks heard in the playback.

Mint Minus - No such thing, it's either mint or not.

Excellent - A disc is super clean, with no visible marks

 Excellent Plus, means it's probably mint but can't be proven by me.

Excellent minus, is a disc that is excellent except it may have some markings that do not show up in the playing

VG - A disc that is STILL in good shape, WILL have some scuffs or scratches, not in excellent shape but well worth owning. VG + and ++,a disc that is that much better than VG.

VG minus, just a smidgen below VG

Good - A disc that can be played, has obvious ware but is worth owning, a DJ copy of a rare early Motown for instance or a rare Doo-Wop or Northern Soul which could still be worth a fortune, Good Minus & Good Plus is a step above or below Good. In most cases I will not offer a disc in this condition unless it's rare and hard to find.

LABELS

Labels do not alter the grading of vinyl; many records are Excellent, looked after by the previous owner but still have their initials or markings on the label. A DJ copy will often have markings to show which side to be plugged, or the length of the intro. Many labels and covers in the US have been punched, that was done by the record company to show the disc was deleted and shipped out to mass retailers to sell cheap and could not be returned for a credit, this does not impede the value, many records eg Swan and VJ Beatles were done like that, also many promo lp’s were punched or slit to show they were provided as promotion and not charged to the client and no royalties paid to the artist
