HERE IS A MONO FIRST PRESSING OF THE BEATLES YESTERDAY & TODAY ORIGINAL T 2553 3rd STATE MONO BUTCHER COVER WITH REMOVED TRUNK SLICK ! THIS ALBUM COVER COULD VERY EASILY PASS FOR A 1st STATE COVER, IT LOOKS THAT GOOD. THE FRONT COVER IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT WITH ALL THE DEEP COLORS !! THERE IS NO TEARS OR PEELING AT ALL!!THIS ITEM IS GUARANTEED FOR LIFE TO BE AN AUTHENTIC CAPITOL 3RD STATE 1966 BUTCHER COVER AND NOT A REPRODUCTION ! PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT ALL MY RESERVES ARE ALWAYS REASONABLE AND USUALLY PRICED WAY BELOW ANY CURRENT BOOK VALUE.SUCH IS THE CASE WITH THIS ITEM. HERE IS A GREAT CHANCE TO PURCHASE A GENUINE BUTCHER ALBUM AT A GREAT PRICE ! FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, THIS IS THE FAMOUS ALBUM THAT WAS BANNED BY CAPITOL RECORDS PRIOR TO RELEASE IN 1966 AND THEN COVERED OVER WITH THE MORE FAMILIAR TRUNK COVER. THE BUTCHER SCENE WAS DEEMED TOO GRUESOME FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. CAPITOL DESTROYED A GREAT QUANTITY OF THESE BUT FOUND IT MORE ECONOMICAL TO COVER THE OFFENDING JACKET WITH THE MORE FAMILIAR TRUNK COVER. THE TRUNK SLICK OF THIS ALBUM WAS PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED TO PERFECTION !! IT LOOKS LIKE A 1st STATE ISSUE THAT IS HOW GOOD OF A JOB THEY DID ON THIS ALBUM COVER. THE FRONT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS IS A VERY VERY RESPECTABLE COVER. WITH VERY NICE DEEP COLORS ,THERE ARE NO TEARS OR RIPS ON THIS PIECE. THERE IS A MINOR BIT OF PROFESSIONALLY TOUCHED UP MOUTH EDGE WEAR TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE JACKET THAT IS FAIRLY COMMON.THE SEAMS AND SPINE ON THIS PIECE SHOW SOME BUT VERY LITTLE AGE CRACKING .THE SPINE IS 99% COMPLETE WITH ONLY A TINY LOSS OF PAPER AT EACH END. ALL OF THESE SECTIONS HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONALLY SECURED AND AS A RESULT ONE SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO PLACE AN ALBUM INSIDE IN ORDER TO AVOID FUTURE DAMAGE. THIS IS DUE TO OVERALL FRAILTY IN GENERAL OF THIS TYPE OF  . ON THE BACK OF THE JACKET EXHIBITS A SMALL AMOUNT OF A WATER STAIN MOST NOTICEABLE NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE JACKET NO BIG DEAL FOR THIS ALBUM THOUGH . THIS PACKAGE COMES COMPLETE WITH AN ORIGIAL CAPITOL RECORD,ORANGE INNER SLEEVE, ORIGIAL FRONT TRUNK SLICK,CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICTY ,CAPITOL RECRDS DISTRIBUTING CORP COVER RECALL LETTER,YOU GET EVERY THING YOU SEE IT THE PICTURES .
