BEATLES 2ND STATE PASTE OVER, 3RD STATE BUTCHER ALBUMS, AND RECORDS IN ONE PROFESSIONAL FRAME.
Both records are included with one being displayed.
These are the holy grail of Beatles albums, highly collectible and very rare, released in 1966. The album is titled "Yesterday and Today".
The album is remembered primarily for the controversy surrounding its original cover image, the "Butcher Cover" featuring the band dressed in white smocks and covered with decapitated baby dolls and pieces of meat. A small fraction of the original covers were shipped to disc jockeys and reviewers as advanced copies. The record was immediately recalled due to overwhelming complaints and all copies were ordered shipped back to the record label. However, faced with so many jackets already printed, Capitol decided to paste a much more conventional cover over the old one which featured the band posing around an open steamer trunk so called the "Trunk Cover".
On the trunk album cover, known as 2nd state paste over, Ringo's turtle neck sweater can be seen under the trunk cover which validates it as an original paste over cover. Fans would later peel the cover away to reveal the original butcher cover underneath, known as the 3rd state peeled butcher cover.
Both records are mono and inner sleeves are included.
Seams are intact with no splits, no writing, and no tears.
These album covers and records are guaranteed 100% original, no fakes or reproductions.
The professional frame is black with double matting and museum grade UV glass. All material are acid-free. The top mat is dark green with a white bottom mat. The album covers and record are recessed in the mat. It is very heavy and substantial with wire reinforcement in the back and hanging wire. It was framed by highly respected the 'Your Frame of Mind Galleries' in Lexington, KY.
The framed set will be packed very securely to avoid any damage during shipping.
