PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT OUR RESERVES ARE ALWAYS REASONABLE AND USUALLY PRICED WAY BELOW ANY CURRENT BOOK VALUE. SUCH IS THE CASE WITH THIS ITEM. THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO PURCHASE A GENUINE BUTCHER ALBUM, AT A GREAT PRICE ! Please review all condition issues that are specifically detailed below prior to bidding. We feel that you'll agree that this is a steal for the price considering the reserve price on this item ! PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY AND CONTACT US FOR QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF THE DESCRIPTION.

For those who don't know, this is the famous album that was banned by Capitol records prior to release in 1966 and then covered over with the more familiar trunk cover.The butcher scene was deemed too gruesome for the general public. As a result, Capitol destroyed a great quantity of these but eventually found it more economical to cover the offending jacket with the more familiar trunk cover.

For terminology sake: 1st state: is a copy that was never covered over with a trunk cover. They are extremely rare and were practically never sold in stores and only used as promos for radio and sales managers. 2nd state: is a butcher cover with the trunk cover pasted over. 3rd state: Is a 2nd state butcher cover that has had its trunk cover(hopefully professionally) removed.

Our reserves are the most reasonable on Ebay ! First state butchers have sold for as much as $40,000! You can own a real 3rd state butcher for a tiny fraction of that cost.These are quickly being snatched up by collectors as fast as they appear.

As you can see from the photo , this is a truly gorgeous example of this rare treasure.

SPECIFIC CONDITION OF THIS ITEM IS AS FOLLOWS: 

The front cover, as you can see from the photos, is simply stunning and this is another awesome professional peel without any of the tears, rips and other damage often seen on 3rd state Butcher Covers. Nice natural colors and minimal factory glue lines. The butcher slick is awesome and we would put this butcher slick up against most of what you see out there and certainly anything in this reserve price range. You will be proud to display this piece. 

The top and bottom seams and spine are nice with only a tiny 1/4" beginning paper rub/slight crack near the very end of the top seam. Barely worth mentioning. The front white borders show average light age toning. The back is decent and exhibits some light wear & aging/brown spots that are slightly more pronounced near the edges. Although this jacket is in nice shape and a record and inner sleeve can comfortably fit inside, we strictly advise against attempting to place a record and inner sleeve inside the jacket as doing this would cause possible future pressure and damage to seams and 40 year old paper. This auction includes an original Capitol orange inner sleeve and mono record in at least G condition(Sorry,but this is what came with it !)The trunk slick in displayable condition with minor wear tear/wrinkling condition.PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ARE BRUTALLY HONEST IN GRADING AND THE REAL PERSPECTIVE OF THIS PIECE IS HOW IT APPEARS IN THE PHOTOS.

This piece exceeds what you commonly see in this price range and is a great opportunity for someone who has been looking and looking for a keeper copy of this legendary album in mono that will only increase in value as these are snatched up.Overall, a really nice piece and something that you will treasure for many years to come !
