PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS BEFORE BIDDING!
An ORIGINAL:
The Beatles - Yesterday and Today - 3rd state STEREO Butcher Cover Album.
I can take any photo that you would like to see.
I could not post all the photos I took but if you go to the flickr link below you can see all of the above and more.  Just click the arrows to the left or right until the photos of the albums end.
I will add the flickr link shortly.
As you can see this is in very good condition no creases in cover.
You can see where part of the butcher cover came off when it was peeled in picture 3-5.  JUST small areas no large spots.
In picture 7 you can see where the corner of the butcher cover is lifted but it is all there.  Could be glued down but it did not bother me.
The writing on the spine is not worn which is common.
It comes with the original record and inner sleeve.
Record plays thru fine with some background noise and a tick here and there.  It has one half inch scratch on side 2 at the end of track 1 and beginning of track 2.  DOES NOT SKIP but has a minor tick. (Atleast on my turntable)
This is from plant 2 as seen in picture 12.
I was told this is the earlier and or rarer version that has a slight purple grey tint to the Stereo banner at top.
1 inch split at opening on the lower right corner at seem.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer them.
As far as the history of this album.  I bought a small collection of about 150 albums from a local person here in South Florida and it was in it.  It contained many rare albums but this being the rarest.
I won't disclose my reserve but I feel it is more than fair and will not be surprised if it exceeds it by several hundred.
If it does not sell it will continue in my collection.
I WILL NOT END THIS AUCTION EARLY.  Ok. I lied.  If I am offered what I feel is a very high offer I may entertain it but I am planning on letting the auction run.  Please do not send low ball offers.  I will ignore them.
If you are the winner.  I can meet locally in the Palm Beach area.  I will also be in Atlanta August 18 and then at the Alabama record show in Birmingham, AL the rest of that weekend.  BUT partial payment will have to be made and the rest on delivery.
