Description

In my continuing quest to bring you fine vinyl, I'm happy to offer the record(s) listed above.
Well, if you're here, you already know what you're looking for. This is a genuine #3 RIAA mono (T 2553) copy of The Beatles' "Yesterday and...Today".
The pasteover is quite obvious, esp on the pics up by the top border. Misaligned slick (correct in most pasteovers). Correct "sliced" dimension of 12 3/16". Ringo's "V" is barely visible, but it is indeed there. ORIGINAL Butcher cover...YES!
Bottom spine - 1/2" split on far left side. Back spine - Gone. Top spine - 5" missing on left side, 3 1/4" missing on the right. woc on song titles on pasteover slice, but not the butcher cover song titles themselves. Copious woc on right border, underneath "Today" and running in parallel to the steamer trunk. Ringwear on front along with sporadic cover pitting by Paul's legs. Slight staining (2 spots' worth) on both front and back of cover.
Disc is poor. I'd actually prefer shipping this without the disc as it has no value, adds to the shipping weight and increases the chance of further damage to the cover.
A little TLC with this cover will go a long way. I would think that it is peel-worthy, but that is strictly subjective opinion and in no means indicates culpability. And if you DO get ANY Butcher peeled...do NOT do it yourself.
Guaranteed to be a Butcher cover. However, for this particular copy...there are NO returns. This is not a Livingston-era Butcher cover, nor should you expect one. I have taken many pictures and will be happy to provide more...but no returns on this item, please.
I will ship overseas for this, but postage will be extremely pricey.
5 DAY ONLY SALE.
It is preferable that payment be made ASAP, however, due to various circumstances, I'm allowing up to three days for payment to be made. Anything after that, and an unpaid item case automatically opens. If you don't plan on paying, then don't bid.
Shipping:
US - $2.80 (Media). I'm happy to combine shipping for US orders! No matter how many 45's you purchase (in the lower 48), the shipping cost will never go over $2.80.
Shipping internationally (total package weight must not exceed 8 ounces):
Canada - $10 EU - $13 Rest of the world - $15
I ship all of my items as such:
1. Paper sleeve, poly outer sleeve. 2. Cardboard stiffeners for added package strength (in case of shipping delays for supplies, I will use 2 records for intra-US shipments). 3. A stiffener is placed under the record, then the next one is turned at 90° with the record in between. 4. Specialized mailing boxes exclusively used for mailing 45rpm records (or LP's).
NOTE: Despite what eBay puts in my shipping profile, I'm happy to ship anywhere in the world, with no exclusions whatsoever.
Shipping internationally (total package weight exceeding 8 ounces) is determined by two factors: weight and destination. The service that I've found best is First Class International Package via USPS.
If you are getting more than one record from me, please wait until I send you an invoice. Shipping charges for int'l destinations have gone through the roof (e.g., a 9oz package to the EU costs $22 US!!).
VAT/GST/customs charges are the responsibility of the buyer and are not included in the cost of this item.
Any questions? Please feel free to contact me. I've an open-door policy! :) I WILL happily process returns if the item arrives damaged, or is significantly different than advertised. I will NOT process refunds due to buyer's remorse, I'm sorry to say.
PayPal ONLY. See my feedback and bid with confidence!
