The Beatles original 1966 east coast 2nd State mono Butcher Cover near mint cond

Description

Here up for sale is one of the best conditioned 2nd State mono Butcher Covers that exist in the world today. This cover was sealed in the late 1960’s by the original owner to persevere the cover over the last 50 years. So for 50 years, this cover has not been touched or has any aging storage wear. You can see in my last few pictures how the cover was sealed on the right side. In the last year it was put up for sale in a display case in an Antique mall in Phoenix. I personally just carefully opened the sealed cover today. The cover retains most of the original white colors. The 2nd State cover is more transparent than I have ever seen in collecting Butcher Covers over the last 45 years of collecting The Beatles. You can see Ringo’s V neck, his face & hair, the pant legs of Ringo & Paul on the bottom right corner & parts of John Lennon’s head & meat he is holding against his Butcher smock. You can even see the Capitol catalog # through the trunk slick on the top right corner. The cover is definitely in near mint condition with mostly 4 square corners & no splits or flaking wear on the edges. The only way to get better condition than this is to find a factory sealed 2nd State mono Butcher Cover.  The matching east coast mono record is also in near mint condition with hardly any play wear. Also included is the original Capitol Records east coast inner sleeve in great shape as well as a copy of the recall letter. I will personally professionally peel this cover for the buyer if they desire at no additional costs. This item will be professionally double boxed and shipped through UPS. Thanks Frank
