Description

Beatles Yesterday & Today Butcher Cover

Third State Peeled STEREO

Very nice stereo version of the Beatles infamous Butcher cover that has been peeled (so-called Third State). I have taken very detailed photos of this gem; I would grade the cover as VG+; or 8 on a scale of 10. Back is closer to 9 out of 10. Very little yellowing The top and sides splines show NO SEAM SPLIT WHATSOEVER which is very rare for this 39 year old album. There is absolutely NO YELLOWING--the back and front are crystal clear white which again is so unique for this cover. The splines are tight. The record (who cares??) is in NM+ condition but since you can put any record from this era with the sleeve I doubt many of you will be paying attention to the record or sleeve condition.

As you can see from the picture there has been some touchup around John and his face and from three feet away it looks like a mint version. Closer you can see the touchup and this can always be redone professionally to give you a mint stereo peeled butcher.

Number on back is #5. Some say #3 or rarer but folks no one really knows for sure how many were saved and from which plant--so I find this distinction complete nonsense! A great butcher is a great butcher.

Don't forget this is the rare stereo version--between 5 and 8 times more valuable than the mono version as so many fewer were made.

Guaranteed authentic Third state Beatles Stereo Butcher album. The price guides say this is worth around $800-1000 in this condition. Recent Ebay auctions have Second States in poorer condition than this one (like a raised corner, for example) going between $500 and 800. .

See my very recent sale and feedback of an $829 mono paste-- That buyer paid on Monday, I shipped on Tuesday, it went from Seattle to North Carolina and feedback on Thursday. Here is the feedback:

Fantastic Butcher! Exactly as described! Great Seller! Thanks!!

Here is my latest feedback from my recent sale of a Stereo Butcher last week for over $900:

And one more from today's feedback (11-07-2005):

Another great butcher!! Seller must have a butcher making machine! Thanks!!!!!!!

Finally, folks be sure and buy from a seller who knows Butcher covers and delivers faithfully to buyers like yourself! Obviously so much of what you are buying is based on the seller's description--buy from whom knows butchers and represents them fairly.

So, a very nice Stereo Third state butcher with very tight spines and stunning colors with little or no fading. If you've been looking for a stereo peeled and don't want to pay the ridiculous $1200 that some ebay sellers have been asking recently here is your chance!
