Condition: 
Butcher Cover is awesome and something that any fan would treasure. Gorgeous Stereo peel.

Glue residue/Capitol factory brush lines from application of that adhesive (at the original Capitol pressing plant) used to adhere the trunk cover are light. There are four (4) department store price tag holes above the Capitol logo on the front of the jacket (see close up photo). Please see photos and text below for further more specific details about the actual physical condition of the jacket .
Seams: 
Top seam shows paper loss and seam cracking which appears to be neatly secured. Bottom seam also appears to be a neatly closed due to paper loss/cracking. Please see photos. Given the age/repair/frailty of the seams, the vinyl record/inner sleeve should never be attempted to be placed in the album jacket.
Spine:
Spine is shows paper loss throughout with only sporadic sections of paper and some of the top section of spine lettering remaining. Has been neatly secured to prevent any further spreading. 
Back Of Jacket: 
The back of the jacket is fairly clean with light/wear tanning here and there.
