PRICE : $2,875

we offer here a most stunning EXAMPLE OF
OF A SECOND STATE BUTCHER, one that does not come
along often.  This West Coast #6 Mono Paste-Over Cover is
absolutely stupendous IN EVERY ASPECT and
remains in its original shrinkwrap
( has 4 factory "breath holes" evident : 2 on front, 2 on back).

The "white" tone of the cover is sparkling and clean
WITH NO age yellowing at all at the mouth opening.
there is a 3" spear shaped section of the shrink missing
in the lower right corner, yet the cover is
not affected in any manner in that area.

No splits, No ring-wear. Images are VIBRANT AND CRISP.
The Trunk Cover is pasted over perfectly square on this one.

The the paste-over slick is so clear and clean,
one can plainly see RINGO'S ENTIRE BODY -
from head to knees BENEATH the Trunk Cover.
On most Paste-Over Covers, THE ONLY IMAGE THAT IS VISIBLE IS THE
"v" IMPRESSION OF HIS black sweater. THIS ONE DISPLAYS most OF RINGO :

the spine is MERE PERFECTION AND THE PRINT remains legible throughout :

Back Cover is MARVELOUS as well and remains WHITE
AND CLEAN THROUGHOUT. no ringwear at all.

there is a 3½" spear shaped section of the shrink missing
in the lower left corner. there is a bit of light toning along
the bottom edge in that area where the shrink is missing, yet not obtrusive.

The matching West Coast record accompanies the Cover,
and grades a STUNNING unplayed "as new" NEAR MINT.
ALSO INCLUDES ITS ORIGINAL 1966 CAPITOL RECORDS ORANGE INNER SLEEVE :

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 :
