the money have a professional do the involved task rather than
trying to remove the trunk cover yourself.
Many Butcher covers have been
ruined when novice collectors attempted this highly difficult task ...When in doubt, our advice is : DON T BUTCHER YOUR BUTCHER Includes the original printed 66 Capitol Records inner sleeve ::: investment QUALITY ORIGINAL 66 BUTCHER COVER lt gt lt gt lt gt lt gt lt gt lt T gt lt H gt lt E gt lt gt lt B gt lt E gt lt A gt lt T gt lt L gt lt E gt lt S gt lt gt lt gt lt gt lt gt lt gt By the time the Capitol Records released Yesterday And Today,
the Beatles were in hot water in America.
The record was released just
after John s infamous interview in which he stated that the Beatles were
bigger than Jesus , which angered Americans and provoked many bans on
their music and public incinerations of memorabilia.
But Yesterday And Today
would take public dispproval to a whole new level, as the original
cover featured the band in butcher s smocks with baby doll parts and raw
meat covering them.
The record was pulled almost immediately - creating
an instant collector s item - and in the confusion that followed,
several replacement covers were issued.
Songs on the album were taken
from the leftovers of the British release Rubber Soul as well as the single/B-side Yesterday/Act Naturally released on the UK version of Help ,
the single/B-side We Can Work It Out/ DayTripper , and three songs
which had not, at that point, been released in the UK: I m Only
Sleeping , Doctor Robert , and And Your Bird Can Sing which all
wound up on the UK version of Revolver .Drive My Car 2:30 Recorded: October 13, 1965 at Abbey Road, London, EnglandJohn Lennon - lead vocal, tambourinePaul McCartney - lead vocal, bass guitar, pianoGeorge Harrison - lead guitar, background vocalRingo Starr - drumsI m Only Sleeping 3:01 Recorded:

Most peeled butcher copies will show some - if not more tears and
imperfections to the cover slick.
This copy makes makes for a display-worthy framed wall hanging The 4
individual Beatles faces and butcher scene are very clean,
a rarity for even the best Butcher covers.
The back cover is extremely
hard to find without wear and this copy VG is no exception, just a bit of overall imperfections, though,
again, much better than the usual copy.
Overall, a GRAND addition to
any valuable collection....
Solid peeled Butchers covers like this are very scarce with most copies are safely tucked away in private collections.
The vinyl is rated: EX excellent representing a respectable platter , even though it s all about the butcher cover - as you know ...
both 1966 mono RAINBOW Capitol labels are clean.
