Beatles Investment Grade Butcher Cover
You are bidding on a genuine 1966 Stereo 3rd State (peeled) example of arguably the most desired collectible rock record in existence. Because it is a Stereo version, it is documented to be at least five times more scarce than Mono counterparts.
This is an investment grade example due to the high 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. This package comes complete with a COA from TheButcherCover certifying the peeling process. The ButcherCover is a professional restoration company that consistently provides the best quality peels often seen being sold here on Ebay by a variety of sellers.
Also included will be a quality reproduced recall letter and many fun extras about this unusual and coveted album release.
The peel is equally as nice and this presents as well as nearly 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.
Overall, this is a fairly solid jacket with light wear. The top seam on this is complete with just a small chip of paper loss on the very end of that seam near the mouth opening. Bottom seam exhibits a bit of paper chipping/light cracking near the last several inches near the mouth opening which appears to have been professionally secured on the inside with archival hinging paper. The spine is nice and complete with all printing legible. The back of the jacket is fairly clean with just the lightest of wear and a light small stain at the very bottom of the back. Please see photos for details.
Comes with an original VG (visual grade) Stereo Scranton pressing and goldenrod 1966 inner sleeve in nice condition with just a small 1" split on the very bottom which is very common on these. The trunk slick is included and in condition as shown in framable condition with some light wear, tear and repair.
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.
Safe and secure double boxed shipping of this item within the United States will be $39.99. International orders shall be shipped using the Ebay Global Shipping Program. Buyer is responsible for any and all duty taxes on international shipments. Packages must lawfully be declared for their actually value (selling price).
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 and restoration 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 for over four decades and our customers range from well known celebrities and galleries to the everyday collector.
