Beatles 3rd State (Peeled) Stereo Butcher Cover
You are bidding on a genuine 1966 3rd State Stereo (peeled) example of arguably the most desired collectible rock record in existence. Stereo Butcher Covers are noted for being between 5 and 10 times more rare according to Capitol Record production manufacturing quantities. Top quality Stereo 3rd state covers often fetch $2000 or more. See specific condition details below.
PLEASE NOTE THAT T...HIS IS ONLY A 5 DAY AUCTION !
This package includes a prime example of a Rare Stereo Butcher Cover with its removed Trunk Slick, Stereo 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. We've included a photo of this jacket in its second state condition prior to peeling with the trunk slick still attached.
Specific Condition Details
The top and bottom seams on this jacket exhibits several inches of paper cracking that has been professionally secured. Approximately 3/4 of the top seam and 1/2 of the bottom seam show cracking upon close inspection. There is a slight bit of paper loss on the right tip of the end of the top right hand corner of the jacket (see photos). Spine is mostly intact as seen in photo with some cracking & paper chipping on bottom 1/4 of the spine. The back of the jacket shows light wear and very faint ink residue on top left quarter of back and some light tape staining on very bottom . Rest of the jacket shows light wear and tanning but nothing out of the ordinary. Please see photos for confirmation of all of these specific condition descriptions.
Comes with an original goldenrod colored 1966 inner sleeve. A nice Scranton Stereo record in G (visual condition) is included. Nice labels on the record with many visible scuffs and scratches that may cause noise during playing. This record has not been play graded. The trunk slick is included and in condition as shown in framable condition with some 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. Buyer will also receive a package of fun information about the Butcher Cover.
It should be emphasized that Butcher Covers of this quality and grade are highly desired by collectors and are genuinely scarce in this condition.
Payment is due within 24 hours of auction close.

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. Purchaser understands that this is a used item and therefore we request that that all photos be clearly examined prior to bidding. 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 been restoring and selling genuine Beatles Butcher Covers for over three decades and our customers range from well known celebrities and galleries to the everyday collector. 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 and "Rockin' Records". We are one of the only sellers on Ebay that can say that they are the direct source of our genuine Butcher Covers. 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.
