 Beatles ST2553 Yesterday & Today Original and Genuine 1966 Stereo 3rd State Butcher Cover Professionally Matted and Framed Using Archival Quality UV and Acid Protective Materials

PLEASE READ AUCTION GUIDELINES AND DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE BIDDING!  

Have you been searching for a guaranteed authentic, professionally peeled Butcher Cover that you will be proud to display that features a 1966 original Stereo Capitol 3rd state (peeled) version of the legendary butcher cover that comes already professionally framed using the best archival UV protective materials? Look no further. Keep in mind that Capitol factory records indicate that stereo jackets are at least 5 times more rare than their mono counterparts due to the fact that they were produced in far smaller quantities than mono jackets due to mono still being the preferred sales format in 1966. Our experience with these covers leads us to conclude that these covers are more than 5 times as scarce and especially so in displayable condition. Archival framing in a frame shop would surely cost upwards of $100 alone for a piece like this and even if you purchased a 2nd state stereo cover unpeeled in displayable condition, the cost of a professional peel and the framing would not be possible for this price. Because this is all done in house, we can pass the savings on to you.

This item can be promptly and securely packed and shipped out to you within 24 business hours of purchase. This auction also includes the removed trunk slick, and more unique extras about the butcher cover than you will find elsewhere. Unlike many of the obviously damaged 3rd states that you see out there, this one presents as well framed as anything out there and can be yours for under $$850 ! You simply won't find a better value for the dollar ! Also included in this auction is a COA certifying the peeling process and packet chock full of history/ information freebies about the Butcher Cover you will find nowhere else ! Please note that there is no record or inner sleeve with this auction.

We've been placing genuine Butcher Covers in the hands of collectors, auction houses, galleries and celebrities for over 30 years and have been credited in various memorabilia books over the years and our goal is always to strive for excellence and quality at the right price. The winning bidder will receive this item professionally packed and double boxed with all items protected in archival style protective sleeves.

History and Terminology Of The Butcher Cover

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. As a result, Capitol destroyed a great quantity of these but eventually found it more economical to cover the offending jacket with the more familiar trunk cover.

For terminology sake: 1st state: is a copy that was never covered over with a trunk cover. They are extremely rare and were practically never sold in stores and only used as promos for radio and sales managers. 2nd state: is a butcher cover with the trunk cover pasted over. 3rd state: Is a 2nd state butcher cover that has had its trunk cover(hopefully professionally) removed.

Our reserves are the most reasonable on Ebay ! First state butchers have sold for as much as $40,000! You can own a real 3rd state butcher for a tiny fraction of that cost.These are quickly being snatched up by collectors as fast as they appear.

As you can see from the photo , this is a truly gorgeous example of this rare treasure.

SPECIFIC CONDITION OF THIS ITEM IS AS FOLLOWS: The Butcher Slick, as you can see from the photos, is as nice as you will see for a peeled Butcher Cover. Put a nail in the wall and this baby is ready to go. Great for a music room, office or any room. Factory glue lines/aging is minimal and this cover. Although these lines are always present on peeled Scranton stereo Butcher Covers,the appearance of these lines is somewhat exaggerated on close up photos. In an average light situation framed, these are minimal in appearance. No large tears or rips to the butcher slick that you often see on peeled Butcher Covers. You will be proud to display this piece and it is properly framed and ready to go !

As far as the jacket goes, both the top and bottom seams exhibit several inches of seam wear and splitting that has been secured with adhesive.The spine, as seen in the photo, is intact and most of the spine printing is legible with the exception of a tiny chip of paper. The back shows light to average wear with some light tanning/staining but nothing out of the ordinary for a jacket of this age. The removed trunk slick is included and exhibits some wear and tear with a few missing pieces. We decided to frame this using quality UV protective/acid free materials. Although this is a UV protective framing system, we always advise never to expose frramed collectibles to long durations of direct bright sunlight. This is not a cheapo $9.99 frame that you often see but a 100% archival  1 1/4" wide profile frame with OP-3 Grade UV protective acrylic window and acid free corrugated backing. As a result, this presents as well as a top quality stereo butcher costing much more. Keep in mind that we only use archival materials with our investment grade butcher covers. Given the fact that this is all performed in house, the savings can be passed on to you. Although this piece might not be for the super picky collector, we've seriously adjusted the price accordingly on this one to make it one of the most affordable butcher covers with this grade appearance of the butcher slick. To tell the truth, this butcher framed looks as good as most any other stereo butcher out there and certainly better than anything you will find in this price range.

This package exceeds what you commonly see in this price range and is a great opportunity for someone who has been looking and looking for a keeper copy of this legendary album in mono that will only increase in value as these are snatched up.Overall this is a really nice piece and something that you will treasure for many years to come !
