Vinyl: THE BEATLES - " BUTCHER COVER " - YESTERDAY AND TODAY - MONO T 2553

THIS LP AND COVER HAS BEEN IN MY COLLECTION SINCE 1981 . I PURCHASED THIS ITEM AT A MILWAUKEE , WISCONSIN RECORD STORE. AT THIS RECORD STORE WAS A BIN OF LP'S THAT HAD THESE GOUGES IN THEM. THE OWNER OF THE STORE SAID THAT ABOUT 260 LP 'S HAD THESE GOUGES. SO I PURCHASED ABOUT 12 LP'S AND ONE OF THEM WAS THE BEATLES - YESTERDAY AND TODAY. I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS A " BUTCHER COVER " UNTIL 3 YEARS LATER. ONCE I FOUND OUT WHAT I HAD , I CALLED A RECORD COLLECTOR FROM CHICAGO , THAT PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE WHO HAD PEELED MANY A " BUTCHER COVER " IN HIS TIME. HE DID A FANTASTIC PEEL ON MY LP . SINCE THAT TIME , I HAVE KEPT THE LP COVER IN A PROTECTIVE SLEEVE AND I STORED THE LP SEPARATE FROM THE COVER , TO PREVENT RING WEAR . BOTH THE COVER AND THE LP ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. EVEN WITH THE GOUGE THE COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I HAVE TO LET IT GO AND LET SOMEONE ELSE HAVE FUN WITH IT. THIS LP IS A HIGH FIDELITY RECORDING . T 2553
