Here's your chance to own one of the most coveted collectible albums of all time. Here's a 3rd state butcher cover with a pretty successful non-pro peel. There are areas of loss, most notably around Ringo, some on John's shoulder, and some near the top by the track listings but, considering the age and rarity of this cover, not too bad. The edges show signs of wear with seam splits along the title edge, some on the bottom edge, and some more on both the top and bottom edges near the opening. Both front and back still hold together as a cover though.
The original inner sleeve is missing. Visually graded the record would probably be a solid Very Good by the Goldmine standard. I played it one last time for old time's sake on my Audio-Technica AT-PL129 and I have to say it sounds better than it looks. There's plenty of 1966 mono pop pizazz left in these grooves. I've had bragging rights on this record for a good number of years. Now it's time to turn it over to a lucky new owner. Don't miss out on your chance to own a piece of musical history.
Record will be shipped carefully packaged with the record in a non-original inner sleeve for protection and record outside of the jacket to prevent further seam splits during shipping.  
Upon completion of auction do not send payment until I invoice you. Your shipping will include a few dollars of mandatory insurance, the exact price of which I won't know until the final auction value is determined.  Also you'll need to let me know your preferred shipping choice.
Please ask questions before bidding. Thanks for looking.  Happy bidding and good luck!
