Beatles Investment Grade Butcher Cover
You are bidding on a genuine 1966 3rd State (peeled) example of arguably the most desired collectible rock record in existence. This is an investment grade example due to the quality of the peel and the overall quality of the package as a whole. Combined with the removed trunk slick, this would make a great candidate for framing.
The peel presents as well as any jacket we have offered in the past. Most of the peels offered on the internet have noticeable damage to the Butcher slick, but not the case here. This is a gorgeous peel. Borders are nice and white which you don't often see on these nearly 60 year old jackets. Same with the back that is very clean and mostly white with only the slightest wear and toning. The seams are all solid with the exception of the last two inches of the bottom seam and a very small 1/4" crack in the middle of the bottom seam. Please examine photos and contact us with any questions. All issues with the bottom seam have been contained and neatly mitigated to prevent spreading. To insure the integrity of this jacket, a record should not be placed inside this jacket but always be stored separately. Spine is nice and all writing is legible with just the smallest bit of wear on the bottom.
Comes with an original goldenrod 1966 inner sleeve and a the Scranton pressing that came with this record. VG- record (some scratches on both sides and a scratch on the side 2 label and small mark on the side 1 label). The trunk slick is included and in nice, framable condition as shown with some minor wear and tear.
It should be emphasized that Butcher Covers of this quality and grade are highly desired by collectors and are genuinely scarce in this condition.
Payment is due within 24 hours of auction close.

This item is an original 1966 3rd State (Peeled) used example of the legendary Butcher Cover. This item is guaranteed to be authentic. Purchaser understands that this is a used item and therefore we request that that all photos be clearly examined prior to bidding. Given the fact that this item has been professionally peeled and altered from a 2nd state (unpeeled) condition to a 3rd state (peeled) example, this item has condition elements that reflect the process of treatment of the item when it was glued at the Capitol factory in 1966 as well as conditional elements from the actual peeling process. These elements generally involve mild glue lines that were made at the pressing plant when the trunk cover was pasted over but also include some minor issues from the removal process. This is not a new item but a used one that has been restored through a tedious and careful process. Please examine all photos prior to bidding.
We have been restoring and selling genuine Beatles Butcher Covers for over three decades and our customers range from well known celebrities and galleries to the everyday collector. We have contributed to television shows, collectible books and have displays in many of the best record guide books including "The Price Guide For The Beatles American Records" By Perry Cox and Frank Daniels. We are one of the only sellers on Ebay that can say that they are the direct source of our genuine Butcher Covers.
