BEATLES BUTCHER COVER GORGEOUS 3RD STATE WithREMOVED TRUNK SLICK, RECORD AND MORE

June 2, 2019 by admin
Beatles 3rd State (Peeled) Mono Butcher Cover. This is a first time offering and this package includes a prime example of the Butcher Cover with its removed Trunk Slick, mono record, inner sleeve, COA and free packet of Butcher related info. This is an awesome offering due to the quality of the peel and the overall quality of the complete package as a whole. Combined with the removed trunk slick, this would make a great candidate for framing. The peel is equally as nice and this presents as well as nearly any jacket we have offered in the past. Most of the peels offered on the internet have noticeable large tears or other serious damage to the Butcher slick, but not the case here. This is a gorgeous peel. Borders are nice and generally white with only mild tanning. Overall, this is a solid jacket with light wear and decent seams and spine. The top, bottom seams and spine on this are complete with just a teeny 1/8 chip of missing paper at the very bottom of the spine. The spine printing is present with just a little cracking/checking and light wear to the spine. The back of the jacket is fairly clean with little wear and light tanning. No names, big tears, large stains or other problems with the back. This one’s a keeper! Please see photos for confirmation of all of these specific condition descriptions. Comes with an original goldenrod colored 1966 inner sleeve. A nice Scranton mono record in VG+ visual condition is included. Nice labels on the record with some minor superficial sleeve scuffs and scratches and name written on side 2 of the record. The trunk slick is included and in condition as shown in framable condition with some light wrinkling/wear and tear. Also included in this sale is a Certificate Of Authenticity which certifies not only the authenticity and chain of custody of the item, but a certification of the peeling process. 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 and genuine 1966 3rd State (Peeled) used example of the legendary Butcher Cover. This item is guaranteed to be authentic. 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 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 own and supervise all work that is performed on the Butcher Covers that we sell. Please note that the item that you will receive is exactly as seen in the photographs. As seen in the photos, this jacket doesnt lay 100 flat as a result of the peeling process and the fact that it is stored without a record inside the jacket. This is fairly common and does not significantly detract from the fantastic look of this 3rd state. Although the seams and spine are better than the average jacket, we strictly advise against placing a record and inner sleeve inside the jacket. The item “BEATLES BUTCHER COVER GORGEOUS 3RD STATE WithREMOVED TRUNK SLICK, RECORD AND MORE” is in sale since Tuesday, May 28, 2019. This item is in the category “Music\Records”. The seller is “rockandrollshop” and is located in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.

BEATLES BUTCHER COVER BEAUTIFUL 3RD STATE STEREO PRO PEEL With TRUNK SLICK & MORE

April 26, 2018 by admin
Beatles Genuine 1966 Stereo ST 2553. Butcher Cover Professionally Peeled. This is our first beautiful Stereo offering in quite a while. These are scarce in this condition. Stereo covers are at least 5 to 10 times more scarce than their mono counterparts according to Capitol production records. Stereo was not yet in demand as much as mono in 1966 and far less were produced. Also, collectors find this cover most desirable due to the colorful dramatic stereo banner at the top. This is the perfect example to professionally frame with the removed trunk slick. This Butcher Cover package is a first time offering that includes the removed trunk slick in one piece and framable condition and a Scranton inner sleeve and Scranton Stereo record.. 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! Gorgeous and vibrant colors. This is an excellent peel with a first state look. This presents right up there with any jacket we have offered in the past with some minor condition issues but also still easily rates in the top 5% regarding quality of any peeled Stereo Butcher Covers offered for sale. Capitol factory pasteover glue lines/residue is very light on this. The glue used by Capitol in 1966 Stereo covers can be notoriously tacky and difficult to remove completely. This is an excellent stereo peel. Surely a cover that you will cherish. Please check out the up close photo for the great detail of this peel. Seams and spine are not great on this one. Several inches of cracking of the top and bottom seams with paper chipping/missing. Spine not quite as bad with an inch or so of paper missing around the word “Yesterday” which removed some of the print. Most of the other writing is there but there is an inch or so more of missing paper and another small chip missing at the very bottom of the spine (See Spine photo). The seams have been neatly and professionally secured to protect from any further damage. As a result, nobody should ever attempt to place a record inside this jacket. Back of jacket is clean with less than average wear , some light tanning and some discoloration spots on the very top and bottom of the jacket. Nothing unusual for a more than 50 year old jacket! We are including the Scranton Stereo record and inner sleeve that came in with this. Vinyl appears in fair to good shape with VG labels with some scuffs and scratches throughout (not play graded). Correct Scranton 1966 goldenrod inner sleeve included. The trunk slick is also included and is the exact slick that was peeled from this jacket and is in one piece and could be framed (see photo). 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, especially Stereo editions, 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!

BEATLES BUTCHER COVER 3RD STATE PROFESSIONAL PEEL WithREMOVED TRUNK SLICK & MORE

April 7, 2018 by admin
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.
