Description
Very rare US Beatles Cover Yesterday and Today The "Butcher" Cover
3rd state (Peeled)
Release date: June 1966
With Original Sleeve, Peel and The 2 Recall Letters from Capitol.
Cover in one piece, spine has some separation, see scans.
Some residue and top l, see scans.
Rear of cover shows handling and storage over last 50+ years, see scans.
Two types of adhesive were used ( not necessarily east coast/west coast, Scranton v LA. as I have discovered when I peel) to adhere the Trunk slick to the Butcher cover, until you start the peel you only discover if it was non-synthetic and then you can usually recover the peel in one piece. This was obviously a synthetic adhesive. After 50+ years the adhesive de-natures. again I think LA cover adhesive can be affected by being stored in a hot climate on the west coast.
You Can Clearly See Where The Peel Ran Into Trouble, But Still A Good Example Of A 3rd State
This cover was manufactured in the LA pressing plant ( historically difficult to peel ) as indicated by the small 6 next to the logo on the back, bottom right hand, of the cover.
Vinyl is flat and has a few surface marks.
