Beatles Investment Grade Butcher Cover 

You are bidding on a genuine 1966 3rd State (peeled) investment grade example of arguably the most desired collectible rock record in existence. This example is a nice as anything offered on the net or in catalog auctions which have recently realized higher selling prices. These high quality Butcher Covers have steadily risen in value and are getting hard to find.  Please buy with confidence and check our feedback for other past sales of investment Grade Butcher Covers. This package comes with a nice displayable trunk slick in one piece, record, inner sleeve, COA and fabulous extras. This is an investment grade example due to the high quality of the professional 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 is equally as nice and this presents as well as nearly any jacket we have offered in over 20 years of selling on Ebay.  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 with light aging. 

Overall, this a solid jacket  with minor seam/spine issues that we often see in jackets in the VG + range. The top seam on this is complete with no splits or cracks. Bottom seam is mostly complete with less than a 2" crack/wear spot on the bottom. This has been neatly secured.The spine printing is mostly present although there is some cracking on the bottom half of the spine and a few tiny chips of paper missing.  The back of the jacket is very clean with only light/mild tanning and a tiny pinpoint age stain. Please see photos for details. 

Comes with an original goldenrod 1966 inner sleeve (has dark mark on the top of the inside of sleeve) and a playable record in EX/VG+ condition. The trunk slick is included and is in excellent framable condition as shown which is unusual. 

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. 


We have been restoring and selling genuine Beatles Butcher Covers on Ebay for over two 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 and Rockin' Records by Jerry Osborne.  We are one of the only sellers on Ebay that can say that they have been the direct source of hundreds of genuine professionally peeled Butcher Covers of all Capitol plant variations. In other words, we don't send our Butcher Covers out to others who provide peeling services but own and supervise all work that is performed on the Butcher Covers that we sell.
