THE BEATLES - YESTERDAY AND TODAY 'BUTCHER COVER' (ORIGINAL US 3RD STATE MONO COPY - T 2553). Very well peeled and restored original US mono 3rd state copy of the infamous 'butcher cover' of Yesterday And Today. The sleeve is graded as VG. With a largely successful peel, there is a section around Ringo's shirt that appeared to have been torn, but this has been skilfully restored appearing to been done with paint. Elsewhere there is only very light evidence of glue residue, with some general edgewear (some light 'cracking' though no full seam splits) and with some general ringwear/foxing on the reverse. '6' next to the RIAA logo. The original mono LP (Capitol 'rainbow label T-2553 with F17/G22 matrix endings) is in cool VG+ condition showing a few light and minor surface marks though absolutely nothing heavier than this with no feelable scratches to mention. With original olive coloured company inner (has splits).
