Own a piece of Beatles history with this nice copy of the infamous 'butcher album' 2nd state unpeeled.
---------
Underneath the regular cover in the picture shown is the so-called ''butcher'' cover of this release which induced such an outrage that the album was recalled and new artwork was created from an earlier Beatles photoshoot. A small number of copies escaped and appeared on the market nonetheless. These are known as ''first state'' butcher covers. Not wanting to lose time with waiting until the new covers were ready, Capitol decided to first use the new front slicks and glue them over the original artwork, to hide its offensive picture from the public eye. The (not too many) copies of this that came unto the market are known as ''second state'' butcher albums and that is exactly what is up for auction today!
Released on a black Capitol label with rainbow rim.
On the label the cat.nr. appears as T-2553, on the cover as T 2553.
Rated at a good for both the jacket and the record. There are seam splits on both the top and spine of the jacket as well as the original inner sleeve. Also noted is a very light pen writing on the front. I can't even make out what it says. On the back 'paul' is written in red pen as you can see. Vinyl as you can see in the picture is in good shape. A couple of scratches but nothing too major. I kept this as a collectors item and never played it as I own a reissue as well.
