 THE BEATLES - YESTERDAY AND TODAY / G+ (overall aging - ring wear, serious spine wear; 2" lower seam split) / t 2553 (capitol, trunk cover w/ original sleeve - mono).  -

A quick note on my grading system - In the description directly above this line I list: artist & record title / wax condition (cover comments) / serial number (record label).  The framework for my grading system is the Goldmine Record Album Price Guide. My amended scale goes like this:

Mint (M) = sealed.
Near Mint (NM) = near perfect condition in every way.
Very Good plus (VG+) = very good condition with little or no sign of wear.
Very Good (VG) = very good condition with slight signs of surface wear.
Very Good minus (VG-) = very good condition with some minor scratches here and there.                                                                                          
Good plus (G+) = good shape, no skipping, but you’ll hear some scratching.                                                                                          
Good (G) = quite a bit of wear, possible skipping.

If a record rates below G, which mind you is a very playable grade, I will not sell it.  No record, unless sealed, warrants the M or NM grade, except for extremely well kept vinyl.  I am a play-grade seller, and my grades are tough but honest.  I would rather grade lower than higher and my grades – often VG-‘s, reflect that theory.  If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures of a particular item please email me. I ship worldwide via first class international mail only.  I ACCEPT PAYPAL ONLY.  I DO NOT TRACK OR INSURE ITEMS BELOW $50.00 UNLESS ASKED AND PAID ACCORDINGLY.  THIS HELPS KEEP YOUR PRICE DOWN.  INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - PLEASE: CHECK MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING FEES BEFORE BUYING FROM ME: I DO NOT NEGOTIATE ON SHIPPING - THIS IS NOT A CAR DEALERSHIP.  And, the picture shown is of the actual items.

 After closely looking at the cover of this lp under some serious light I think it indeed might be an unpeeled butcher cover.  Ringo's black lapel does seem to be evident.  I can provide additional close-ups if needed but I honestly don't think they'll help uncover the truth.  This is purely an informatory comment and I do not intend on canceling this auction, but my gut tells me this is a butcher.  If I'm wrong, please let me know and accept my apologies - all the very best - joshua hartzog, waylonsvinyl
