They say a picture is worth one thousand words...but some pictures don't tell the whole story, so please read my item description & condition below as well as my terms of sale.
ITEM DESCRIPTION & CONDITION: Yesterday and Today (also rendered as "Yesterday"...and Today in part of the original packaging) is a studio album by the English rock band the Beatles released in the United States and Canada. It is their ninth (9th) album released by Capitol Records and their twelfth (12th) American release overall. This copy is an American issue that I assume, based upon my research, to be an early 1966 release. I will describe many key components of the item so that you, the buyer, can determine its age, condition and value for yourself. The item condition and the identifiable characteristics are as follows:
1) The vinyl disc itself, T-2553, looks to be in fairly good condition. It has several identifiable scuff marks, light scratches or other noticeable signs of wear and handling including numerous fingerprints. The labels are nearly perfect showing only a minimal number of spindle marks, no signs of wear, and no writing. I have no way of play testing this item so I cannot comment with any degree of certainty on the sound quality...see photos.

• Matrix/Runout/Dead Wax (etching/stamping: Side 1 (A)): T1-2553-G2 (IAM in triangle)
• Matrix/Runout/Dead Wax (etching/stamping: Side 2 (B)): T2-2553-F1 #2 (IAM in triangle) 
• Labels have a black rainbow color-band without "subsidiary" rim text
• This version was pressed by Capitol's plant in Scranton, PA (identified by stamped letters I over AM inside a triangle)
• Labels have the title as "YESTERDAY" . . . AND TODAY above the band name
• Any/all other identifiable label characteristics can be seen in photos.

2) The Album Cover/Jacket itself, has had the original shrink wrap removed. Each of the four corners are relatively square however all corners have a minor bump/bend and crease. The lower and upper portions of the front cover shows signs of wear or discoloration where the original color(s) appear to have been rubbed away or badly faded. Several attempts have been made by a previous owner to peel back corners of the front slick. The rear cover is yellowed mostly near the outer edges, has a prominent vertical crease in the upper right corner, and there is some writing, in ink, in the lower right corner near the RIAA symbol. The spine and seams show wear but amazingly no seam splits...see photos.

• Has "Trunk Cover" (not "Butcher Cover")
• T2553 on spine and upper right of front and rear covers
• Small 3 on rear cover, left of RIAA logo

3) The inner protective sleeve, which is included but not pictured, assumed to be the original is a yellow (gold) colored 1966 Capitol inner sleeve numbered PE-12-3BL.
