The Beatles: 'YESTERDAY AND TODAY'- A PHENOMENAL 1966 THIRD STATE 'PEELED' MONO BUTCHER LP PACKAGE - T 2553 - PLUS ORIGINAL REMOVED 'TRUNK' SLICK AND MORE!! - IN A WORD, INCREDIBLE!! THE CLOSEST TO A FIRST STATE THAT WE HAVE EVER SEEN, COMPLETELY BLOWS AWAY ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN OFFERED OUT THERE RECENTLY!! - For those collectors out there who have been searching for a Serious INVESTMENT QUALITY, AUTHENTIC 'Yesterday and Today' Complete MONO THIRD STATE PEELED BUTCHER Cover LP Package that would NEVER require upgrading, then 100% you've found it! The only thing better than this would be a First State in Shrink Wrap, which, of course, would cost thousands more, and this one, in our opinion, looks just as IMPRESSIVE!! Painstakingly peeled back from an Original Mono 'Trunk' cover in shrinkwrap (referred to as a Second State), this is a RARE 'No 3' Mono from the Scranton, Pennyslvania factory (as printed on the back of the sleeve). The INCREDIBLE Peeled Butcher Sleeve comes complete with its Original Second State Peeled Trunk 'SLICK', Original Yesterday and Today Capitol Mono VINYL LP, and Original Printed Capitol INNER SLEEVE. Adding further to the DESIRABILITY of this INVESTMENT piece, also included is some promotional literature relating to the Butcher that makes very interesting reading. The sleeve has been 'peeled' back by one of the World's most respected Butcher restoration companies, who have been trading for over two decades, and who deal only in 100% AUTHENTIC Butchers. It is so clean it would be near impossible for it to be in this fine NEAR MINT condition hadn't it been protected in its shrink over the years! In fact once the sleeve was peeled back to reveal the Controversial Beatles BUTCHER pose to it's former glory, the Original Shrink Wrap was carefully re-inserted on to the sleeve, simply for posterity sake! Take a close look at the OUTSTANDING quality of this sleeve. The BUTCHER Image is in simply PRISTINE condition - Gorgeous lifelike colours and detail. TIGHT, COMPLETE, WHITE top and bottom seams, NO splitting, NO stress or the usual 'crocodile' cracking to any of the edges. The spine edge is in BEAUTIFUL, UNDAMAGED condition, with ALL printing clean and legible - none of the usual cracking. There is NO writing or tearing to any part of the sleeve. The reverse of the sleeve is FIRM and WHITE, with only the slightest bit of age tanning on the back near the opening edge (where the shrink was slightly pulled back). The Removed Trunk slick has remarkably survived in ONE PIECE with just a bit of wrinkling, but NO tearing or repairs - simply REMARKABLE to find in this condition. The Printed Capitol inner sleeve is Nice and the Vinyl LP is in Glossy, excellent plus condition. The shrinkwrap, with its tiny 'breathe' holes present to the top, has a tear to the back and some wrinkling, but still protects the sleeve very well. We have included thirteen detailed scans for you to view this SIGNIFICANT Rarity, and 100 percent GUARANTEE that you will NEVER find a better ORIGINAL THIRD STATE BUTCHER Package from anyone, anywhere. This Butcher has a FIRST STATE look!
