USA - RAINBOW CAPITOL - ST- 2553 STEREO MEGA RARE We have had this stunning looking rarity for a number of years past on display.
Please read for better understanding...Digging deep for information the famed cover just looks too perfect.
The information we found through a Beatles expert is that this is actually a Japanese production, using material to such perfection it renders hard to distinguish from the USA copy.
This pressing is not anything recent, though exact year of the product is undetermined.
Again, we have had on display for a number of years.
The Beatles expert we contacted in person with the album, advised the pressing is far more rare than the 66 USA pressing and one could put ANY price on it as a result of it s severe rarity.This cover is produced with the same thick cardboard cover as the 66 USA issue.
This cover has the same paste on cover slick manufacturing as does as in the 66 USA issue.
It is virtually near impossible to detect the difference from the 66 USA manufacturing.
A real stunner STILL IN FACTORY CELLOPHANE ...PERFECT 4 SHARP CORNERS ...
it is STONE MINT APPEARS AS A FIRST STATE STEREO MINT IN SHRINK ...........................................................................................CONTAINS an authentic 1966 rainbow Capitol Records record.

Overall the Butcher artwork cover is sharp, with slightly grainy texture and remains a highly collectible/valuable investment/final collection Beatles crown collectible that will only rise in value as time goes

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:
