Beatles 3rd State (Peeled) Mono Butcher Cover 

You are bidding on a genuine 1966 3rd State (peeled) example of arguably the most desired collectible rock record in existence. This package includes a prime example of the Butcher Cover with its removed Trunk Slick, mono record, inner sleeve, COA and free packet of  Butcher related info. This is an awesome offering due to the quality of the peel and the overall quality of the complete package as a whole. Combined with the removed trunk slick, this would make a great candidate for framing. 

The peel is equally as nice and this presents as well as nearly any jacket we have offered in the past.  Most of the peels offered on the internet have noticeable large tears or other serious damage to the Butcher slick, but not the case here. This is a gorgeous peel.  Borders are nice and generally white with only mild tanning. 

Overall, this is a solid jacket with light wear and decent seams and spine. The top, bottom seams and spine on this are complete.  The spine printing is present with just a little cracking near the bottom end . This is very typical of these older jackets.  The back of the jacket is fairly clean with little wear and a small one inch abrasion near the top of the back (see back photo)..  Please see photos for confirmation of all of these specific condition descriptions. 

Comes with an original goldenrod colored 1966 inner sleeve. A nice Scranton mono record in VG++ visual condition is included.  Nice labels on the record with some minor superficial sleeve scuffs and scratches.  The trunk slick is included and in condition as shown in framable condition with some light  wrinkling/wear and tear. 

Also included in this sale is a Certificate Of Authenticity which certifies not only the authenticity and chain of custody of the item, but a certification of the peeling process. Buyer will also receive a package of  fun information about the Butcher Cover. 

It should be emphasized that Butcher Covers of this quality and grade are highly desired by collectors and are genuinely scarce in this condition. 




Payment is due within 24 hours of auction close.

This item is an original and genuine 1966 3rd State (Peeled) used example of the legendary Butcher Cover. This item is guaranteed to be authentic. Purchaser understands that this is a used item and therefore we request that that all photos be clearly examined prior to bidding. Given the fact that this item has been professionally peeled and altered from a 2nd state (unpeeled) condition to a 3rd state (peeled) example, this item has condition elements that reflect the process of treatment of the item when it was glued at the Capitol factory in 1966 as well as conditional elements from the actual peeling process. These elements generally involve mild glue lines that were made at the pressing plant when the trunk cover was pasted over but also include some minor issues from the removal process. This is not a new item but a used one that has been restored through a tedious and careful process. 


We have been restoring and selling genuine Beatles Butcher Covers for over three decades and our customers range from well known celebrities and galleries to the everyday collector.  We have contributed to television shows, collectible books and have displays in  many of the best record guide books including "The Price Guide For The Beatles American Records" By Perry Cox and Frank Daniels.  We are one of the only sellers on Ebay that can say that they are the direct source of our genuine Butcher Covers. In other words, we don't send our Butcher Covers out to others who provide peeling services but own and supervise all work that is performed on the Butcher Covers that we sell. 

Please note that the item that you will receive is exactly as seen in the photographs. As seen in the photos, this jacket doesn’t lay 100 flat as a result of the peeling process and the fact that it is stored without a record inside the jacket. This is fairly common and does not significantly detract from the fantastic look of this 3rd state. Although the seams and spine are better than the average jacket, we strictly advise against placing a record and inner sleeve inside the jacket. Please bid accordingly.
