SOLID COLLECTION "BUTCHER" COVER !

1966 ORIG "BUTCHER COVER" - UNPEELED - 100% real deal w/ trunk paste-on cover...

....................................................................................................

#6 at RIAA symbol meaning a Winchester Virginia Capitol Records pressing from 1966

.....................................................................................................

This is an UNPEELED 'trunk cover' paste-over with a potentially TOTALLY CLEAN (MINT) "Butcher" cover underneath the famous paste-over BUTCHER cover." Condition of the "trunk cover" (very clean!) means everything in terms that there is NO concerning problems with this trunk cover ensuring the BUTCHER COVER GRAPHICS underneath will reveal MINT visuals - when professionally peeled.

.....................................................................................................

Recent information has suggested UNPEELED Butcher covers like this are getting far more scarce these days since most covers have been peeled by amateurs or professionals.

THINK TWICE: holy grail BEATLES "butcher" cover like this is in high demand, will only continue to increase in value. Here's a NICE example of the '66 high-end collectible!

............................................................................................................................

The trunk/ butcher cover is all around: solid, stiff, sharp corners and uncommonly CLEAN. Once the BUTCHER is peeled (successfully) by one of the several professional services available, a Butcher cover like this can easily value at $2000+ and will only rise in value in collector circles around the global market. The disc is VG++ and plays just fine - which is insignificant -- as we all know it's all about the BUTCHER cover, here in solid condition; most likely if you've have any interest in this investment collectible from 53 years ago, best to think twice, this could be your copy! .

ORIGINAL 1966 printed inner sleeve included.

A copy of the Capitol Records BUTCHER COVER recall to retail record store is included

..................................................................................................

NOTE: This cover can easily be peeled with careful patient removal, find the options available on "how to remove paste over Butcher covers"(and/or "where") on the internet.

By the time the Capitol Records released Yesterday And Today, the Beatles were in hot water in America. The record was released just after John's infamous interview in which he stated that the Beatles were "bigger than Jesus", which angered Americans and provoked many bans on their music and public incinerations of memorabilia. But Yesterday And Today would take public disapproval to a whole new level, as the original cover featured the band in butcher's smocks with baby doll parts and raw meat covering them. The record was pulled almost immediately - creating an instant collector's item - and in the confusion that followed, several replacement covers were issued. Songs on the album were taken from the 'leftovers' of the British release Rubber Soul as well as the single/B-side "Yesterday/Act Naturally" (released on the UK version of Help!), the single/B-side "We Can Work It Out/ DayTripper", and three songs which had not, at that point, been released in the UK: "I'm Only Sleeping", "Doctor Robert", and "And Your Bird Can Sing" (which all wound up on the UK version of Revolver).

CONDITION: The cover: rated: pretty close to "EX" (excellent) hard to find them still this clean-white, not with concerning or alarming visual handling anfd not damaged anywhere meaning gouges or not with unsightly (visual) problems front or back cover. Even the spine is solid with only very minor-tiny wear just starting, and nice to read text on spine. Overall the trunk cover has strong signs of careful handling = so when potentially peeled correctly you will have a mint or top copy "Butcher" graphics cover ... main point being no soil or wear to the white trunk cover , and not with the "age spotting" so often seen on 1966 pressings. NO SPLIT SEAMS (which is a big problem for original Butcher covers AND the spine is aligned and reads pretty well. ...keep in mind: this cover has the potential to be peeled to a M- up-grade up against other un-peeled Butcher covers.

Investment/collectible properties have a high ceiling value with success in the peeling process which is at high standards these days. We have personally spoken to a couple pro peelers who offer flawless services concerning covers just like this one. Overall, the seams are totally solid, spine reads perfectly (very little wear = see photo;) Altogether exhibits nicely as a a rare Butcher cover collection copy 

Really hard to find clean when 53 years onward most butcher covers have age-spotting, soil, grime, dirt and wear - or worse! Photo #2 (if you look close) reveals the tell-tale BUTCHER cover sign in the "V" neck in Ringo's shirt/coat.

Perfectly peeled Butchers covers are very scarce, selling quickly for up to $2000+ per the going rate currently. Most original '66 butcher covers are safely tucked away in private collections ... An obvious timeless investment item, has no bends, no writing & no delete marks 

The vinyl ... rated "EX" (excellent) clean visually plays mint clean!  Consider altogether a strong copy to go along with the clean original "Butcher" cover.

The MONO rainbow 1966 rainbow Capitol labels are clean

                                                               A cool addition to anyone's music library!
