THE BEATLES - YESTERDAY AND TODAY. VERY RARE 2ND STATE BUTCHER COVER. CAPITAL RECORDS, T-2553, MONO. RINGO’S COLLAR IS VERY CLEAR IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, DENOTING THE FACT THAT IT IS A PASTE OVER.

RECORD IS A SOLID VG++, SOME LIGHT SCRATCHES AND BLEMISHES, MOST OF WHICH ARE ONLY DETECTABLE IN VERY BRIGHT SUNLIGHT. RECORD PLAY IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL, THERE IS ONLY LIGHT SURFACE NOISE DETECTABLE IN BETWEEN SONGS AND VERY RARELY IF AT ALL DURING THE SONGS, AND EVEN THERE IT IS VERY LIGHT IF AT ALL. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO POPS CAUSED BY SCRATCHES OR ANYTHING ELSE DURING PLAYBACK, LET ALONE REPEATING POPS. ABSOLUTELY NO SKIPS. NO WARPS. OVERALL VERY IMPRESSIVE, I WOULD CONSERVATIVELY GRADE 8/10.

THE COVER WHICH YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES IS A VERY STRONG VG++. STRONG CORNERS HAVE SOME MINOR WEAR, LIGHT RING / SHELF WEAR IS PRESENT, TOP RIGHT CORNER PASTE OVER IS PULLED UP APPROXIMATELY A HALF INCH AS IF TO HINT THAT POSSIBLY SOMEONE THOUGHT OF ATTEMPTING TO PEEL THE COVER AND QUICKLY DECIDED AGAINST IT, VERY STRONG SPINE AND SEAMS WITH NO SPLITS AND STRONG EDGES, NO WRITING OR STAINS.

LABELS ARE EXCELLENT, VERY NICE SHAPE. THEY ARE NOT MARED OR WRITTEN UPON, NO STICKERS, AND LITTLE IF ANY SPINDLE MARKS.

COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL CAPITAL INNER SLEEVE MAKE THIS TRUELY ONE OF THE NICEST BUTCHERS I HAVE COME ACROSS IN MY OVER 15 YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE. IT IS NOT PERFECT, BUT IT IS VERY STRONG WHERE IT COUNTS. IT IS QUITE NICE LOOKING AND EXTREMELY LISTENABLE. THIS WOULD BE A NICE ADDITION OR VERY NICE UPGRADE FOR MOST COLLECTORS.
