BEATLES "YESTERDAY AND TODAY" - Capitol 2553

BUTCHER COVER - 3RD STATE

EXCELLENT CONDITION!!

THIS ITEM WAS PURCHASED (USED) BY MYSELF BACK IN 1986 WHILE ATTENDING EXPO ’86 IN VANCOUVER, BC  CANADA.  THE RETAILER WAS KNOWN AS GLASS ONION RECORDS IN RICHMOND, BC.

THE FOLLOWING IS A FULL DESCRIPTION AND DISCLOSURE FOR THE ITEM’S AUTHENTICITY.  THIS ITEM REMAINS AS IS FROM THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED BY MYSELF; I HAVE NOT ADMINISTERED ANY DETAIL WORK AS SUCH; IMAGES DISPLAYED ARE A TRUE REPRESENTATION FOR THE ITEM ITSELF.

THE FRONT COVER IS BRILLIANT!  SO OFTEN WE SEE A YELLOWED “CASTING” OVER THE COLORS FROM THE GLUE RESIDUAL LEFT BEHIND FROM THE PEELED PASTE-OVER – NOT SO WITH THIS COPY!  THE COLORS REMAIN VIVID;  SURFACE IS CLEAN WITH NO TEARS – AN EXCEPTIONAL PEEL JOB!

THERE IS EVIDENCE HOWEVER FOR VERTICAL TEARING ALONG THE OPEN EDGE OF THE JACKET (ABOUT A ¼ INCH WIDTH).  THIS EXTENDS APPROXIMATELY 5” DOWN FROM THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER. THERE IS ALSO A 3” EXTENTENSION THAT ROLLS UP FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER – IN BETWEEN THERE IS A CLEAN EXTENSION UNAFFECTED FOR ROUGHLY 4”. THERE IS ALSO A SLIGHT 2” TEAR OF THE SAME DESCRIPTION THAT EXTENDS HORIZONTALLY LEFT OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER PLEASE OBSERVE THE TEARING IS NOT SEVERE BY ANY MEANS FOR THE LACK OF FIBRE LIFTED OFF THE COVER. SCANS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED AS EVIDENCE TO THIS FACT: PICTURE AND GRAPHICS ARE VIVID AND INTACT!!   THE EXPOSED PAPER HAS ALSO BEEN CLEVERLY SHADED WITH PENCIL TO HIDE THE IMPERFECTION.  HAVING HAD THIS ITEM ON DISPLAY FOR MANY YEARS WITH MATT AND FRAME, THIS DETAIL WAS NEVER VISIBLE. 

THE SPINES AND SEAMS OF THE ALBUM JACKET DISPLAY SIGNS OF LIGHT WEAR, CORNERS SAME. TITLE AND GRAPHICS ALONG THE SPINE HAVE ALL BUT COMPLETELY BEEN OBSCURRED.  BOTH SEAMS AND SPINE HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY TAPED (AGAIN, THIS IS HOW IT WAS PURCHASED).  THE TAPE STRAND DOES NOT MAKE CONTACT AND THUS DOES NOT OVERLAP THE BUTCHER SLICK @ANY POINT AROUND ITS PERIMETER – SO BE ASSURED ITS INTEGRITY HAS NOT BEEN COMPROMISED! 

THE BACK COVER HAS LITTLE TO HIDE FOR ITS WHITE HUE.  THERE EXISTS SLIGHT RING WEAR, SOILING AND GENERAL HANDLING WEAR FROM STORAGE.  THE NUMBER “6” IS INDICATED ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER.

THE DISC (CANADIAN PRESSING) GRADES AS EXCELLENT!  NOT QUITE NEAR MINT FOR A VERY SLIGHT SCUFF ACROSS  THE LAST TWO SONGS ON SIDE ONE (YESTERDAY/ACT NATURALLY).  RAINBOW LABELS REMAIN BRILLIANT WITH A FEW HAIRLINE SPINDLE MARKS.

READ MY FEEDBACK!  YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE SECURELY PACKAGED TO ENSURE IT ARRIVES TO YOU JUST AS IT WAS MAILED!  I WILL STRESS HOWEVER THAT I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PACKAGE ONCE IT IS IN POSSESSION OF THE POSTAL SYSTEM (CAN ANYBODY?).  CANADIAN POSTAL RATES ARE SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN AVERAGE, SO PLEASE PAY NO HEED TO STANDARD EBAY POSTAL RATES.  REGISTERED/INSURED IS RECOMMENDED (PLEASE INQUIRE FOR RATES), OTHERWISE POSTAL RATES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

CANADA $12.00

U.S. $16.00

EUROPE (PLEASE INQUIRE)

PAYPAL IS PREFERRED

GOOD LUCK
