Original U.S. Capitol mono pressing of Yesterday and Today, featuring the highly sought-after Second State “Butcher Cover”. This is a paste-over sleeve, where the controversial butcher image was covered by the replacement trunk cover, making the butcher photo faintly visible beneath. This copy originates from Factory 6 (Los Angeles), identifiable by known paste-over characteristics associated with that plant. Second state butcher covers are far scarcer than standard trunk covers and represent a key collectible in the Beatles catalogue. The sleeve shows clear signs of age and handling, including wear, staining, creasing, and surface marks. Importantly, the paste-over remains intact, and elements of the butcher image are still discernible beneath the top slick. The record itself shows noticeable surface wear and marks consistent with use, but remains complete and playable. Condition: Sleeve: VG− Original second state paste-over cover with significant wear and age-related flaws; structurally intact. Record: VG− Visible surface marks and signs of play; no cracks or warping. So plays trough well with no skips playing: VG(+) but visually VG-
