Description

I think this is a really really good 3rd state peel but it's possible that it is a first state.  I bought it at my shop a woman who said it belonged to a friend of hers who had it since the 60s and that her friend got it from a British record industry person. It has the shrink on it, but it's unclear if it's original shrink or if someone slid it over the jacket to protect it. 
If it's a peel it's a really really good one.  Amazing condition.
It's a west coast mono, LA pressing plant. T-2553, original inner sleeve

I added a bunch more photos by several people's requests!

I've received many questions about the width of the record.  I have measured it against a 3rd state peel I have and it is just slightly wider.  I took photos and uploaded to show this.  I also did the tissue test and it did not stick.  I do not see any glue residue under a bright light.  I think this *could* be a first state. There are also no circular glue rings at all.

To be clear, the photos I added a couple of days ago were just to show the comparison between the two records.  The auction is only for the 1st Butcher with the shrink.
