This one's an absolute beauty !
Once the Trunk Cover Slick was pasted
over the Butcher Slick during the recall process,
the original Factory Shrinkwrap that sealed this LP
for distribution, remains intact from corner to corner.
The original department store circular
price code "D" Sticker remains adhered to the Shrink :

The shrink was sliced neatly along the mouth
when opened way back when !
Gorgeous, clean bright "White" cover on both back and front.
Only sign of aging is the typical light "mellowing"
along the mouth opening, near the edge
of where the Shrinkwrap ends.
(The effect of the flash from our camera makes the level of
the mellowing much more drastic in the image than it really is).

No splits, No wear. Images are brilliant and bold !!
There are four "Factory breath holes" in this example :
two on the front and two on the back.

The Spine is mere perfection and clearly legible throughout :

The images are so crisp, not only is
Ringo's black "V" clearly noticeable
through the Trunk paste over Slick, but his
ENTIRE IMAGE is visible from the top
of his head down below his knees where
his white smock hangs over :

A most terrific aspect about this particular Paste Over,
is that the Butcher Slick can be seen from the left bottom
edge, running to about the center of the Cover :

The matching West Coast record accompanies the Cover,
and is in spectacular MINT MINUS UNPLAYED condition !
