THE BEATLES YESTERDAY...AND TODAY! ORIG. 66` STEREO SEALED
THE BEATLES
YESTERDAY... AND TODAY!

HERE IS "YESTERDAY...AND TODAY! THE ICONIC TRUNK COVER FROM 1966. 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1966 PRESSING IN THE MUCH HARDER TO FIND STEREO FORMAT, SHOWING CAPITOL RECORDS STEREO NEEDLE DAMAGE STATEMENT ON REAR COVER. THIS TEXT WES DELETED FROM THE STEREO COVERS LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, AND INDICATES A TRUE FIRST PRESSING.  SCARCE RIAA #4 JACKSONVILLE, ILL. PRESSING PLANT! 
YESTERDAY AND TODAY SITS NEAR THE TOP OF FAVORITES, AND SELDOM SURFACES STILL SEALED. THE FEW COPIES STILL AROUND ARE IN PRIVATE COLLECTIONS, AND ARENT GOING ANYWHERE.. ITS JUST THAT ONE FOLKS DONT WANT TO PART WITH!   THIS ONE REMAINS IN ARCHIVAL CONDITION I CANT THINK OF ANY BETTER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT.  THE COVER DESIGN, BEING 80% WHITE, MAKES THIS TITLE (WITH THE WHITE ALBUM) RIDICULOUSLY HARD TO FIND WITHOUT AT LEAST SOME RINGWEAR.... YELLOWING IS ALWAY'S AN ISSUE ALSO, EVEN SEEN IN THE LATER PRESSINGS FROM THE 70'S. THIS IS AN AMAZING COPY...METICULOUSLY PRESERVED THROUGHOUT THE MANY DECADES, AND SHOWS NO SIGNS OF ANY AGEING OR HANDLING WEAR. A COPY OF THIS VINTAGE YOU MIGHT WELL EXPECT TO SEE SOME CORNER KNOCKS, CREASES, SPOTTING, YELLOWING..THE LIST OF POTENTIAL COVER FLAWS IS ENDLESS WITH THESE 60`S CAPITOL LP'S.. THIS COPY HAS NONE OF THE ABOVE, IN FACT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S RIGHT NOW SITTING IN A RECORD RACK IN 1966, STILL WAITING TO BE BOUGHT!... ADDITIONALLY, ITS NOTICABLY A GOOD PRINT! BY THAT I MEAN, THE FRONT PASTE DOWN SLICK IS CENTERED, ALL THE PRINT IS BOLD AND COLOR REGISTER IS SHARP. THE BLACK DOT AT THE TOP IS SPLIT RIGHT DOWN CENTER ( HALF VISIBLE ON THE FRONT- EQUAL ON THE BACKSIDE) SOME OFFCUTS HAVE THE DOT DRIFT TO THE FRONT OR REAR OF THE COVER.- ST-2553 CATALOG NUMBER AT THE TOP IS PLACED FULLY AT THE TOP OF THE PASTE DOWN SLICK, AND NOT PARTIALLY COVERED.  QUALITY CONTROL WASNT THE STRICTEST BACK THEN, AS THEY WERE PRINTING THEM OUT FAST AND FURIOUS. NO SHRINKWRAP TEARS, 2 BREATHE HOLES ON FT. COVER WITH THE GOLD CAPITOL INNERSLEEVE SEEN AT CENTER OF THE MOUTH WHERE RECORD IS REMOVED.  
 IT'S SAFE TO SAY THIS MAY WELL BE ONE OF ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF ORIGINAL STEREO'S STILL SEALED. . FEWER THAN 10% OF THIS TITLE ORIGINATED FROM THE SMALLER  JACKSONVILLE PLANT. THE VAST MAJORITY, FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN OVER THE YEARS ARE 3, 5 AND 6`s.
