Description
THE BEATLES ~ "YESTERDAY"... AND TODAY ~ CAPITOL T 2553. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS/INFAMOUS LP COVERS EVER. WITHDRAWN/RECALLED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY UPON ISSUE ON JUNE 20, 1966 ORIGINAL COVERS WERE SOON RE-ISSUED WITH A "TRUNK" COVER PASTED OVER THE CONTROVERSIAL "BUTCHER" COVER. THAT IS KNOWN AS A SECOND STATE COVER. THIS COVER OFFERED IS A "THIRD STATE" COVER WITH THE TRUNK COVER REMOVED TO SHOW THE ORIGINAL BUTCHER COVER UNDERNEATH. THESE ARE OFTEN DONE IN A HAPHAZARD WAY AND SUFFER THE RESULTS. THIS COVER LOOKS PROFESSIONALLY PEELED AND IS ONE OF THE NICEST I HAVE YET TO ENCOUNTER. THERE ARE NO TEARS, RIPS OR STAINS TO THE COVER AND THE IMAGE IS SHARP, CLEAN AND EXCITING. THERE ARE NO "PARTS' EXCHANGED - NO PIECES FROM OTHER COVERS HAVE BEEN USED IN ANY SORT OF "REPAIR". CONDITION IS GRADED VG++ WITH A BIT OF CORNER BUMP BRHC AND A SLIGHT BIT OF NEGLIGIBLE HANDLING WEAR ALONG THE OPENING. THERE IS SOME VERY SOFT STAINING HERE AND THERE ALONG THE SEAMS, BUT THE SEAMS ARE SHARP AND INTACT (WITH THAT CORNER BUMP BRHC) AND THE SPINE IS NICE, IF OFF CENTER AND READABLE FROM THE FRONT. THERE IS A PIECE OF (CLOTH?) TAPE ALONG THE INSIDE TOP SEAM ON THE BACK THAT WAS USED TO BOLSTER THE PEELING PROCESS BY WHOEVER DID THE JOB.
BACK COVER IS VG+ WITH SOME CREASING AND STAINING AND A BIT OF RUBBING. THIS IS A NUMBER 6, FROM THE LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURING PLANT. I BELIEVE THESE ARE THE SCARCEST OF THE COVERS AND ALSO THE EASIEST TO PEEL, BUT DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT.
THIS INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE (VG+, SOME TEARS) AND THICK DISC ( GRADED VG, WILL PLAY BUT HAS LOTS OF MARKS, SCUFFS, LIGHT SCRATCHES). PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT THE DISC IS INCLUDED, BUT THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE COVER.
AGAIN, THIS IS ONE OF THE NICEST PEELS I'VE SEEN, INTACT AND ORIGINAL. THIS IS READY TO BE FRAMED AND ADMIRED FOR MANY DECADES.
IF WON BY A BUYER OUTSIDE THE USA, THIS ITEM WILL BE SENT REGISTERED MAIL (ONLY) AT SELLER'S EXPENSE ONCE PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.
THE OPTION FOR REGISTERED MAIL IS OPEN AND EXTENDED TO A USA BUYER AS WELL, AT SELLER'S EXPENSE.
