The Beatles "Yesterday and Today" ST 2553 STEREO Capitol 1966 / Trunk Cover Rare

$

50

     I am selling an early "Trunk Cover" version of the LP "Yesterday and Today" by The Beatles. Released by Capitol Records in the U.S.A., catalog #ST 2553 Stereo. The cover is in excellent shape overall with minimal shelf wear and a small holepunch in corner. Vinyl and labels are near mint! Comes with generic inner sleeve. Please see photos of back cover and labels for more details. Back cover has a small number 6 printed in the bottom right hand corner next to the RIAA seal, signifying that it was printed in L.A. Vinyl labels state catalog # ST-2553 (ST-X-1-2553). The matrix run out has etched:  Side 1)  ST1-2553-B8   Side 2)  ST-2-2553-W2 #2

  When we first examined this album we thought that it might be one of the sought after "Butcher Cover" editions, because the cover art is a sheet pasted on and there is a manufactured holepunch. Upon close examination I cannot spot Ringo's vest beneath the pasted cover, and I believe that this does NOT have the alternate butcher picture hidden underneath.

Shelf reference # (LPE-174)
About the seller: Recycled Books has been selling rare and collectible books, records and movies for 30 years.  We are located in the landmark purple building on the northeast side of the square in downtown Denton, TX.  Be sure to stop by when you're in the Dallas/Fort Worth area!

 I am adding this note that there appears to be a small O or ( ) etched in the dead wax of the vinyl on both sides, which I have discovered may signify a Jacksonville pressing, not L.A. If you have bid on this record, thinking that it is an L.A. pressing because of the #6 on the back, please let us know and we will be happy to cancel your bid.

 There is no date stated on this album, but upon further research we have learned that this is a 1968 "Subsidiary" issue, most likely from the Jacksonville plant. Please let us know if you have erroneously placed a bid based on the earlier auction information, and we will gladly cancel your bid. This is still a great vintage classic record in excellent condition, but not as early of an issue as we had originally thought.  -Recycled Books
