The Beatles – Yesterday And Today (Capitol T-2553) Mono Version not Stereo!!

This is an authentic 3rd State “Butcher Cover”, meaning the original trunk cover slick was peeled to reveal the butcher image underneath. This is not a reproduction or reissue — it is a genuine peeled example.

Details:

• Artist: The Beatles
• Title: Yesterday and Today
• Label: Capitol Records
• Cover Type: Butcher Cover – 3rd State (Peeled)
• Format: 12" LP Cover

Features:

• Authentic 3rd State “half peeled” Butcher cover
• Vintage Capitol Records release piece
• Highly displayable collectible

VINYL

The record is included and has been visually inspected and play tested. It shows visible surface marks, scuffs, and signs of handling wear nothing that really takes away from the sound. The sound is outstanding for the age.  Labels show no wear.  No spindle marks which means there has been little playing of this album.

Why It Stands Out:

• Desirable US pressing
• Strong nostalgia and historical value
• Great addition to any Beatles collection

NOTES

Compilation album originally released in the US & Canada by Capitol Records in 1966.

This release is notorious for its controversial original cover photograph, known as the "Butcher Cover".
The initial response to the cover from the estimated 60,000 advance copies was so negative that Capitol recalled all 750,000 manufactured copies from its distributors for repackaging with a more conventional photograph.

Butcher covers are generally divided into 3 categories:
First state - Original unaltered version.
Second state - First state cover with the new artwork pasted over (generally known as a "Trunk Cover").
Third state - A second state copy where the pasted-on Trunk cover image has been (fully or partially) removed, revealing the Butcher cover photograph underneath.

The notoriety and scarcity of the Butcher cover has made it one of the most expensive and sought-after Beatles releases.
A first state Butcher cover (without the actual record) previously owned and autographed by Ringo Starr was sold at an auction in 2015 for $25,600.
