Condition:
Butcher Cover is decent in most areas with many little scrapes/touch ups and some obvious tears mostly seen in the top right where the song titles are. But the most important part, which is the Butcher image, is pretty decent. Additionally, whoever peeled this left the very top of the trunk slick is still attached at the very top. The seams and spine have a few issues (see detailed description below) which is not unusual on most of these record jackets. Please see below for further more specific details about jacket condition. 
Seams: Top seam has a very neatly glued splits throughout. Bottom seam has the same issue of about 6 inches of neatly glued split from the mouth end to the middle. Please see photos.  
Spine: Spine is mostly split throughout and repaired with most printing legible but worn in spots.  
Back Of Jacket: The back of the jacket shows several inches of cardboard loss at the very top of the jacket starting about four inches from the end of the seam near the mouth opening. (Please see photos prior to bidding). 
Trunk Slick : Sorry but there is NO TRUNK SLiCK with this auction.
Record/Inner Sleeve: Mono Record is included in fair visual condition (has not been play graded). Sorry but there is NO Capitol inner sleeve included in this auction. 
Look around for prices and quality on Mono peels out there. While you may find many poor quality peels in the $200 to $300 range, it pays to spend a little more for something that presents at a higher level quality wise. While this may not complete with the highest end peels, it is far from an embarrassment and something to treasure ! This is an awesome piece of Rock and Roll history.
