SHRINK Yesterday And Today THE BEATLES MONO Capitol T2553 released in 1966. Compilation of tracks left off U.S. releases of Help!, Rubber Soul, and Revolver.
Scranton Pennsylvania pressing as indicated by the "I AM" logo in the runouts, and the number 3 printed on the back cover. This does not appear to be the infamous Butcher Cover, but I am no expert on this pressing. I do not see Ringo's collar.
VINYL in NEAR MINT condition! Looks to be unplayed with no spindle marks on the center hole and absolutely no scratches or scuffs. A bit of sleeve rash only!! Beautiful copy!
COVER in VG+ with original shrink wrap still attached. There is some yellowing/staining where the shrink stops or is torn. There is an area on the bottom right hand side of the front cover that has a corner piece missing and is yellowed. Also a small area where Paul is sitting. The opening seam has wear and chipping from where the record cover was crushed (probably in shipment). In the middle of the seam, there are a few places where the cardboard is starting to come undone. The top seam looks beautiful, bottom seam has a split starting at the opening and corner bump. The spine looks excellent.
INNER SLEEVE in VG+ with no splits, just some creasing.

Record will be mailed in proper mailer with record removed to prevent splitting. 
Notes 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).

Has "Trunk Cover" (not "Butcher Cover").

Labels have the title as "YESTERDAY" . . . AND TODAY
and this appears below the band name on the labels: (Recorded in England)

Small 3 on rear cover, left of RIAA logo (= printed by Modern Album, Long Island, New York - source Bruce Spizer book 'The Beatles' Story on Capitol Records, page 241).
