 Looks Played, Perhaps, ONCE, MAYBE TWICE!

    The BEATLES~ YESTERDAY And TODAY 

A GREAT SET:

The Record;

The record is stellar, played only a very minimal few times (one - five). Graded NEAR-MINT MINUS (NM-) with just a minimum of very light paper surface lines/scuffs (seen under bright light only). NO other real imperfections found, AUDIO SOUNDS GREAT! A jewel! 

The Cover;

The cover remains a nice 'white' tone with extremely light wear. Graded VERY GOOD ++ (VG++) with three (3) imperfections found only if looking for them... 

1. the smallest of a pin hole mark upper right corner (see picture). THIS 'pin' hole has been known to indicate a 'PROMOTIONAL ALBUM' from Capitol Records.

2. bottom seam start of split with 'clear' scotch tape. Looks well done with great care. 'Head-on', tape CANNOT be seen unless looking for it.

3. small two wrinkles, 2-3 inches (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters); one front upper right corner/one back bottom right corner. Many will not see this (CANNOT be seen unless tilted).

You can see the 'trunk' "slick", was not placed exactly "square" on top of the original cover, and was trimmed at the opened end of the jacket. 

F.Y.I... 

Here's the story...

The "Butcher cover" (OOH THAT COVER!!)

In early 1966, photographer Robert Whitaker had The Beatles in the studio for a conceptual art piece entitled "A Somnambulant Adventure." For the shoot, Whitaker took a series of pictures of the group dressed in butcher smocks and draped with pieces of meat and body parts from plastic baby dolls. A photograph of the band smiling amid the mock carnage was used as promotional advertisements for the British release of the "Paperback Writer" single. In the United States, Capitol Records printed approximately 750,000 copies of Yesterday and Today with the same photograph as "Paperback Writer". A small fraction of the original covers were shipped to disc jockeys and store managers as advance copies. Reaction was immediate. The record was immediately recalled. All copies were ordered shipped back to the record label, leading to its collectability. It has been substantiated that the record was indeed for sale in some stores, including Wallich's Music City in Hollywood and some Sears stores, in limited areas and probably for only one day. Capitol initially ordered plant managers to destroy the covers, and the Jacksonville plant delivered most of its copies to an area landfill. However, faced with so many jackets already printed, Capitol quickly changed course and decided instead to paste a much more conventional cover over the old one. This new cover, showing the group posed around an open steamer trunk, had to be trimmed on the open end of the album jacket by about 1/8 inch to address problems where the new sheet, known as a "slick", was not placed exactly "square" on top of the original cover. Tens of thousands of these so-called "Trunk" covers were sent out. As word of this maneuver made the rounds, people attempted, usually unsuccessfully, to peel off the pasted-over cover of their copy of the album, hoping to reveal the original image hidden below.
