THE BEATLES - YESTERDAY AND TODAY 'BUTCHER COVER' (COMPLETE MONO 3RD STATE - T 2553)

THE BEATLES - YESTERDAY AND TODAY 'BUTCHER COVER' (COMPLETE MONO 3RD STATE - T 2553). Fab to see complete original US mono third state copy of the Yesterday And Today featuring the infamous butcher cover. The butcher cover sleeve is in VG condition. A successful peel, the main image of the band is clean with only minor remnants of the trunk cover remaining. With a small paper tear above John's head (similar to a 'punch' hole which extends to the reverse side between tracks B2 and B3). With some, though not heavy discolouration and a little staining. The bottom edge and spine of the sleeve have just started to 'split' though this is not a complete seam split. With '3' next to the original RIAA logo to the reverse bottom right corner. Housed with the original peeled trunk cover in G+ condition - largely intact, with a paper tear coming down from the top edge finishing roughly around Ringo's neck. With photocopied (facsimile) letter. The original record (mono, Capitol Rainbow label T-2553 F1/G6 machine stamped matrix endings) is in glossy VG condition showing some surface marks/scuffs though nothing deeper than this.
