THE BEATLES - YESTERDAY AND TODAY 'BUTCHER COVER' - ORIGINAL US 3RD STATE MONO (T2553). An extremely neatly peeled '3rd state' original US copy of the iconic Yesterday And Today. The sleeve is in VG condition. The 'trunk cover' has clearly been professionally peeled away leaving virtually no marking to the controversial 'butcher' cover design - the wear noted to the sleeve is very much 'away' from the 'butcher' image with some noted shelfwear, the start of seam splitting and some minor foxing on the reverse. '3' next to the RIAA logo on the reverse. Housed with the peeled 'trunk' cover in VG condition - almost complete there are only a couple of minor tears and the title coloured in pen. The record (mono T 2553, F7/G2 matrix endings) is in glossy VG+ condition with some light and minor surface marks though nothing heavier. Housed with the original press release sheet in excellent condition, original Capitol Records company inner and a COA from 'The Rock And Roll Shop/
