Beatles Genuine 1966 Butcher Cover Professionally Peeled. We recently have had requests for a displayable cover that won’t break the bank. This is a Butcher Cover package that includes the removed trunk slick. Additionally, you will receive a Certificate Of Authenticity and an additional package of cool freebies related to the Butcher Cover that you will find nowhere else. Please see the description section for specific condition details. Nearly all offerings seen on the net including ones claiming to be “mint” , show up with visible damage to the Butcher image. This is not the case here! This example showcases a gorgeous peel with a first state look. Gorgeous and vibrant colors. This presents right up there with any jacket we have offered in the past with just a few minor condition issues but still easily rates in the top 5% regarding quality of any peeled Butcher Covers offered for sale. Capitol factory pasteover glue lines are very light on this. Please check out the up close photo for the great detail of this peel. Seams and spine are not too bad on this. No large splits and just a few small spots of rub wear/remediated beginning cracks on the bottom and top seams. Only amounts to a few inches total and nothing too severe. Likewise, the spine is decent with some average cracking throughout and a little over a half an inch of paper loss at the very top which takes out the Y in “Yesterday”. Other than this , most of the printing is legible. Back of the jacket shows average wear and soiling and a few areas of torn paper which indicates that this album was displayed at some point in its second state stage. Again, these are very common condition issues on these jackets. A previous owner must have pinned this album up on a wall or display at some point as there are two small pin holes on the album , one on the left side on the top white border and another on the right at the point where the Butcher Slick edge meets the white border. Other than these very minute issues, this is a really nice example. The trunk slick is included is the exact slick that was peeled from this jacket and exhibits some wrinkling, remains of a name in red and also the same matching pinholes that the Butcher Cover exhibits. Trunk slicks in one solid piece are not all that common in the peeling field. It should be emphasized that Butcher Covers of this quality and grade are highly desired by collectors and are genuinely scarce in this condition. This item is an original 1966 3rd State (Peeled) used example of the legendary Butcher Cover. This item is guaranteed to be authentic and not a reproduction or bootleg. Given the fact that this item has been professionally peeled and altered from a 2nd state (unpeeled) condition to a 3rd state (peeled) example, this item has condition elements that reflect the process of treatment of the item when it was glued at the Capitol factory in 1966 as well as conditional elements from the actual peeling process. These elements generally involve mild glue lines that were made at the pressing plant when the trunk cover was pasted over but also include some minor issues from the removal process. This is not a new item but a used one that has been restored through a tedious and careful process. We have contributed to television/radio shows, collectible books and have displays in many of the best record guide books including “The Price Guide For The Beatles American Records” By Perry Cox and Frank Daniels. In other words, we don’t send our Butcher Covers out to others who provide peeling services but actually supervise all work that is performed on the Butcher Covers that we sell. Our COA reflects not only the authenticity of the item but the actual chain of custody regarding the 2nd state cover and the peeling process. We offer professional packing and you will receive all items packed in archival quality crystal clear resealable sleeves. Thanks and Good Luck!
