Description
Guaranteed authentic! Criteria used in examining 2nd State Butcher Covers -
- Jackets with an RIAA number higher than 6 are not Butchers. Mine was manufactured in L.A. so is numbered 6 (photo 3).
- Some 2nd state jackets have catalogue number on top front right hand corner either partially or fully hidden by paste over (photo 6).
- Just to the right of the top of the trunk you can see the dark V of Ringo's shirt showing through the paste over cover (photo 5). You can see Ringo's face under very bright lighting.
- Authentic Butcher LP covers DO NOT have the Gold Record Award seal on the front.
- The word Yesterday on the back cover and label is in quotation marks (photo 2).
- Rainbow colored band on label.
Capital Records recalled this album after receiving complaints from dealers. All copies were ordered shipped back to the record company. The Jacksonville plant sent most of their copies to the landfill. Then the Capitol Records decided to paste over the offending butcher cover with the trunk photo as seen above. Covers that do not have the pasteover are called first state, those with the pasteover are second state. Third state are those covers showing butcher cover after trunk cover paste over was peeled off. First and second state are the most valuable and increase in value every year. In 2006 a sealed mono first state original butcher cover sold for $39,000. (Reference Wikipedia)
