No skips but there is 2 light ticks right after the music ends on S1T4 ( Dr. Robbins) and there is periodic light surface noise. Cover has top/bottom seam splits halfway across; small corner crease in lower left; faint beginning of ring wear on back; a bit of surface tear from a former sticker on front upper right.

In May of 1971, Capitol Records began issuing albums on the newly designed Red label variation. The first two Beatles albums Capitol received pressing orders for were "Revolver" and "Yesterday ...And Today." Almost immediately the pressing of these two albums abruptly ended when Apple Records announced that they were going to re-issue all Beatles albums on their label. At that point there was an unknown number of "Revolver" pressed and probably only about 100 of Y&T pressed. The actual pressing numbers for these two albums is still a mystery.
What is known is that in May of 1971, Capitol Records unintentionally created an extreme rarity by halting the pressing of "Yesterday ... And Today" in mere double-digit numbers.
The first documented copy of this Y&T gem was discovered in 2006 and is listed in Frank Daniels and Perry Cox' Price Guide, published by Bruce Spizer.
