Notes: This is a 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.

The Media Condition is Good  This disk can be played end to end without skipping or getting stuck, but visually the disk has very little wear but may have marks and/or hairlines on the disk. When playing some surface noise may be evident, especially in the quiet soft passages and during intro and fade, but the surface noise will not overpower the sound. The label on the disk is likely to have minor wear and possibly writing on label. You can contact us to check the condition and to ask for photos. 

The Outer Sleeve Condition is Good with only wear and split at edges. Some discoloration and dirt.  Split shown in last picture goes from top to bottom. I have never seen this before on an album cover. 

This Inner sleeve is Original and fully intact however it is split at the edges
