NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE
FIRST STATE MONO THAT RECENTLY SOLD ON 10-21-08,

IS PROUD TO HAVE ACQUIRED YET ANOTHER
OF THESE GEMS IN STUPENDOUS CONDITION :

The Condition of this Butcher Cover is a
stunning and brilliant Near Mint Minus,
with NO blemishes at all to the front cover slick.  Absolutely lovely.
The images of the Butcher Slick simply "pop" with bold colors
and dark, vibrant clarity -
as seen in this close-up scan of the Cover :

NO splits, NO ringwear !!
The Back Cover is clean
except for some light and minimal
mellowing on the left and right edges only.
Again, no dirt, aging or ringwear at all :

There is a touch of handling wear on the spine, yet it is
rock solid and the print is crisp and legible :

This FIRST STATE MONO COVER is accompanied by it's matching
East Coast Scranton Record,
graded in solid VG++ condition,
along with it's original Capitol '66 orange inner sleeve :

Also included is a LETTER OF AUTHENTICITY from PERRY COX,
renowned and respected Beatles expert and author of
The Price Guide for the Beatles American Records, 6th Edition, 2007 :

As an added attraction, a copy of the Capitol Records original
"Recall Letter" that went out to all distributors & promoters on
June 14, 1966 - is also included :
