Title: The Beatles Yesterday and Today (Butcher Cover)

Relaese Year: 1966

Collectors' Notes: Here we have an original and authentic butcher cover.  Guranteed.  Folks, this is a STEREO COPY.  I have read that these outnumber mono copies at least 3 to 1.  Probably more.  Obviously this one has a number of defects.  Take a look at the pictures for a better idea of condition (I included many).  Judging by condition I tried to set what I felt was a reasonable cost.  This one is far from perfect, but I'm sure that there are a number of you out there that want to own this and don't have $800 to spend on a really nice STEREO third state cover.  I will tell you that there are a few tears and touch ups (tears colored in).  The most annoying one is a tear through the bottom right.  However, the part of the front cover that you do see intact is pretty much the true butcher cover - not too many touch ups.  It's a shame that that tear on the bottom right occured and that somebody decided to write their names on it.  Because it was really a good peel by whoever did it.  You may be able to have a professional make some repairs and you could have a butcher cover that looks really nice.  The seams and spine have been nicely repaired with glue.  As you can see there are names written on the front along with stainning on the back.  Most of the paper on the spine has flaked away.  Again, not perfect, but affordable.  The record is not included.  This auction is for the cover only.   Shipping is only to the U.S.A. and insurance is included in the cost.  Thanks for checking out my listing!

If you have any questions just send me a message.

Shipping is only to the U.S.A., Thanks.

Record Grade

Grade Description

SS (Still Sealed)

The cover still has sealed plastic over it.  The record is assumed to be near mint, but actual condition is unknown.

NM (Near Mint)

The record will be shiny with few defects.  The labels may have no writing, stickers, or “spindle marks” on them.

VG+ (Very Good Plus)

The record still retains nearly all factory shine, but has minor scuffs or superficial scratches that do not hurt the playback of the record.   The label can have minor signs or handling and light “spindle marks”.

VG (Very Good)

A very good record is your average record.  These records have lost a good bit of their factory shine.  It might have fairly deep scuffs or scratches that can be felt.  Wear from repeated playing will be evident.   It should play without skipping or loud repeated popping.  The label may have writing, stickers, and/or moderate wear.

G (Good)

This record will show the same conditions of a very good record except they will be more pronounced.  The record should still play through without skipping or sticking, but with strong background noise and popping.

F (Fair)

The record is in terrible shape and probably wouldn’t play without sticking or skipping.

P (Poor)

This record belongs in the trash unless it is an extreme rarity.

Cover Grade

Grade Description

NM (Near Mint)

The cover will have few defects.  The covers cannot have ring wear, creases, cut-out markings or seam splits.

VG+ (Very Good Plus)

This cover will be nice, but with some more defects.  The cover might show a touch of ring wear.  It could also have a seam split less than one inch long.  The corners may be bumped a bit.  The cover might have a price stamped or written on it, but no plain writing.

VG (Very Good)

This is your average cover.  It will have a moderate amount of defects, but shouldn’t be very overwhelming.  Writing is allowed.  Also, this cover may have seam splits.

G (Good)

The cover is in similar condition to very good, but the defects are greater.

F (Fair)

The cover is in terrible shape and may be split into two pieces.

P (Poor)

This one should be in the trash unless it is an extreme rarity.

I try to ship quickly. I usually ship USPS Media Mail. I only ship to the United States and I do not ship to P.O. boxes. My flat shipping charge is $3.99.  I will combine shipping upon request for multiple auction wins.  Just wait until I send an invoice to pay.  Each additional record will be $0.50 up to 5 records.  All of my records are shipped very carefully.  Albums are sent in specially designed 12” LP record mailers.  Singles are sent in specially designed 7” 45 record mailers.
