Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end.

We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

(USA - CAPITOL RECORDS - ST 2553) = STEREO
1966 first pressing with true STEREO mixes ...the STEREO "Butcher cover" is is a HIGHLY sought and far more uncommon to see (and more $ valued over the still rare mono edition. Here is a first issue from 53 years ago...
INVESTMENT (((STEREO))) "BUTCHER" COVER !
1966 ORIG "BUTCHER COVER" - UN-PEELED - is 100% real deal, check photo closely and view imperfections, however a clean peel should reveal a mint butcher cover original slick underneath the "paste-over" TRUNK cover. See condition down below, the outer paste-over cover slick has some cover differences from a mint-condition outer trunk cover...again the original stereo butcher cover underneath should reveal mint graphics with a clean peel which is highly possible and sends the value into $-orbit. STEREO "butcher" covers are of highest regard in global collector circles, often obtaining up to twice and often more the $ amount that mono copies get. Good news is the stunning M- clean original '66 record, both sides, smooth and clear, playing without surface problems!

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 incineration's 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/ Day Tripper", and three songs which had not, in 1966, been released in the UK: "I'm Only Sleeping", "Doctor Robert", and "And Your Bird Can Sing" (which all wound up on the UK -only version of Revolver).

CONDITION: The cover: rated: VG+ front, general use to the outer trunk cover slick which shows some light wear and light soil at bottom area (wear) though keep in mind a clean peel will reveal a very clean (potentially minty) butcher cover underneath the trunk cover. The back cover is VG, light stain discolorations but overall decidedly decent and anyway, it's all about the butcher cover front. As far as the rare stereo edition is concerned, peeled Butchers covers are very scarce, selling quickly for up to $3000 or more in documented past sales. Most original '66 (STEREO) butcher covers are safely tucked away in private collections ... An obvious timeless investment item, has wear to the spine at lower bottom and a little bit only elsewhere on spine, The Beatles still legible on spine and perfectly aligned. There are no bends, no writing & no delete marks... but definitely has signs of past use, so MINT expectations need not apply, aside from the fact that a nice peel will reveal a very clean butcher cover slick, which has been preserved as pasted over.
The vinyl ... rated M- TOP COPY, no problems anywhere...smooth and clear highly shiny original 1966 vinyl over both sides!!! Just as nice are the spotless 1966 rainbow Capitol labels are clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
