BEATLES "Top of the Pop's" RARE EP Butcher Cover

$

83

Greetings!  This auction is for a rare Extended Play record by The Beatles titled "Top Of The Pop's - Yesterday and Today", bearing a Capital Records logo and catalog# P-9431, even though it is not a legitimate Capital product.  The story of this EP has many versions. Briefly, the common story is that the cover and record were produced privately, pressing only a few copies originally that were numbered on the B-side and given out to friends and associates. A short time later, additional copies were pressed in quantity, without numbers, and this is the version you see the most of, especially here at Ebay.  This copy, however, is numbered # 000067, an extremely LOW number!  And, if you'll notice on the trunk cover picture, on the upper-right side, it states in tiny print "QU Litho in USA T-2553", indicating that the picture was actually copied from an original mono Yesterday and Today LP.  The A-side picture is an outtake picture from the butcher cover sessions.  I played the record and it sounds great, however, the actual manufacture is poor.  The record is graded at: VG++ with one visible 1/8" mark on the B-side toward the end of the grooves, and a 1/4" light scuff on the A-side at the beginning of the groove, neither of which affect play.  The cover is graded at VG+ with only very slight ringwear on the numbered (blue) side and a 4-1/8" split from the top-mouth. (I've had several of these EP's and every one has a split on the top seam at the mouth...)  A very rare 1st pressing bogus promo EP!........................According to Ebay policy, we accept PAYPAL ONLY.
