THERE ARE NO RESERVES ON OUR ITEMS, JUST A STARTING PRICE.
HENCE, THE RESERVE IS THE STARTING PRICE AUCTION SPECIFICS AND CONDITION: THE COVER: ULTRA RARE AND TRULY STUNNING Los Angeles 6 Mono Butcher Cover re-pasted at the Jacksonville.
Illinois, pressing plant.
VERY RARE for several reasons - The background on these rare re-pasted butchers done at Jacksonville, Illinois.
A history lesson even if you are not interested in buying 1.
There were Beatles Butcher covers produced as first-states at the Jacksonville, IL plant, but just a handful of first-states have survived.
I believe I read somewhere there are about a dozen 4 monos, and maybe three or four 4 stereos that have been found.
They would have a 4 near the RIAA number on the rear of the cover.
THERE ARE NO KNOWN JACKSONVILLE STEREO OR MONO BUTCHER COVERS THAT HAVE HAD A TRUNK COVER PASTED OVER THE BUTCHER SLICK They could exist, but ironically, would have been re-pasted in LA Another story all together that can be found in Bruce Spizer s Bealtes Story On Capitol Records.
To this day, I know of no true second state Jacksonville butchers that have ever turned up Just the LA 6 s sent to the Jacksonville plant as you will read in my second point.
2.
However, several hundred recalled Los Angeles butchers were sent to the Jacksonville, Illinois plant for re-pasting with the common trunk cover for re-release in the Midwest music market.
We don t know exactly how many, but not a lot for sure.
And, very few Jacksonville paste-overs are turning up today.
When they do, the method and glue they used to re-paste these butchers is extremely difficult to peel without damaging the original slick underneath.
Ask any of the pros - most won t even touch one of these Even some of the best if all factors that go into the task are just right are charging over 600 just to peel a Jacksonville.
We do have some secrets here.
So if you want one of these, we sell them at what I believe is an affordable price.
At the very least, most peeled Jacksonville re-pasted covers look flat, yellowed, and covered with glue.
That is one reason why you might see some on Ebay that are just mutilated and butchered They probably didn t realize they tangled with a Jacksonville I stress in point 3....
3.
This particular cover was apparently re-pasted after the glue had all but dried on the trunk cover slick.
Therefore, it barely adhered to the butcher slick underneath.
Jacksonville re-pastings like this can sometimes be peeled and have no glue lines like you would see on a Scranton.
You also almost always see circle impressions on a Los Angeles re-pasting.
Those types of markings were made by the machinery used to re-paste a trunk cover over the butcher image.
NONE OF THE ABOVE ON THIS ONE As a result, this butcher has an incredibly beautiful near-first-state looking butcher slick underneath The color and pure sweetness of this slick cannot be completely conveyed through pictures.
It turned out really great.
It has a First-State ambiance, or look to it.
A trained eye can tell it s a peel.
There are just the lightest of wear points - mostly in the upper left of the image see Pics - that suggest this is a second state.
These are insignificant overall and do not distract at all from the overall beauty of the image.
You will be amazed when you open the package and see this butcher.
This one is probably as close to a first-state butcher you will ever get without paying the big bucks 4,000 PLUS In fact, it is nicer than many first-states I have seen Truly a beautiful piece Once again, YOUR SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED AND MAYBE THE MOST DELIGHTFUL RARITY OF THIS BUTCHER 4.
NEVER DO YOU SEE THIS I have had only 4 or 5 3rd-state butchers in over 20 years where YOU CAN SEE THE TIME ON PAUL S WATCH It looks to be approximately 2:55.
Hint: You have to turn the butcher cover upside down to get the correct time.
AND You can see the fact that their eyes are bloodshot too Hmmm?? This is truly amazing and rare Don t believe me? Try to find it on your butcher if you have one, or on another.
You can look for years and will probably NEVER see one where the watch hands faintly show I tell you the truth - grab this one while you can.
Bottom Line: Beautiful Butcher Cover Slick The seams are in solid physical shape - a very nice white without any splits There is just the lightest of balding wear on the corner tips at the mouth, and a small crack in the very lower left corner tip due to dryness.
Very small and nothing that takes away from the integrity of the seam.
Very solid cover on the seams The printing on the back is all there, bold and black, and contrasts very nicely with the white of the surrounding cover.
There is some very light aging one can see.
The clean back of this cover is not found on many butchers.
Most are yellowed, stained, or have writing.
NOT THIS ONE There is a small scuff on the middle-right portion of the back of the jacket.
Inconsequential and very discreet.
Won t show up in pics A truly amazing butcher Think of Butcher Covers This Way: Every butcher BEING OFFERED ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE ELSE is like a diamond - rarely are two ever close to being alike in all the investment features they offer.
RARELY have we ever had a perfect butcher Maybe 3 or 4 from the shrinkwrap in 20 years .
Each cover has its strengths and weaknesses.
I strive to keep the latter at a minimum.
I can tell you butchers of this quality are hard to come by This is an outstanding offering.
The peel on this butcher was done by the master himself - Jim Hansen at Blue Jay Way Galleries - who is recognized as one of the world s leading butcher artists.
Jim is our exclusive butcher artist, and all of our butchers are done in beautiful detail by him You will not find a better peeled butcher anywhere He has been peeling butchers since 1971, and has made butcher restoration a true form of art AN ADDED BONUS TO BE SURE THE RECORD: THE RECORD WITH THIS BUTCHER IS GORGEOUS TOO THE LP IS A FULL GLOSS VG TO VG ON THE VINYL a lot of folks NM- WITH TRUE NM RAINBOW LABELS.
THERE ARE SOME MINOR NICKS AND SCUFFS IN THE VINYL - BUT IT IS GORGEOUS AND GLOSSY OVERALL.
THE LP IS NOT NM, BUT IS WAY ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THIS TITLE THESE ARE ABOUT AS DIFFICULT TO FIND NM AS A BUTCHER COVER ITSELF.
THIS LP HAS BEEN CLEANED ON A VPI RECORD CLEANER .
