RARE GRAIL!  THE BEATLES - Yesterday & Today - THIRD STATE/PEELED BUTCHER COVER - Capitol T 2553, mono, RIAA 6 on back cover; includes inner sleeve; textured cover; a friend who's run a record store for 30+ years explained that some pasted-over copies used a glue that allowed the covers to peel off very easily and fairly cleanly, and such is the case with this copy. Please note: I don't think the record is a proper match to the cover (the runouts end in F21 and F23); released in 1966. 

Condition: G+/VG (vinyl has moderate scuffing/surface marks & several short scratches that I can feel; two tracks have heavy play/groove wear; plays maybe VG overall; the jacket is a bit rippled from moisture, more so (more evident) on the reverse, and has caused some light pink bleeding to image (see their coats, and the background); edges of cover have several small tears and a 1/4" chip; heavy rubbing to seams and spine w/ many small paper chips; several tiny cover scars & a 1/2" one on Ringo's right thigh).
