Butcher Cover

[L Ransford]

A "Yesterday And Today" album came through our record store earlier this week. There is an ebay store a few doors down from ours and one of the employees bought it by to ask me about grading and some staining on the cover. I looked at the small water stain on the back and then flipped it over. I then saw the dark part of Ringo's shirt showing through the paste-over trunk cover. Frst "butcher" cover I've ever touched! I asked the employee if he knew what he had there and he said that he had just found out it was a "butcher" by surfing the net, but the seller who brought it to them had no idea yet. The seller had just purchased it in a near by neighborhood garage sale for 25 cents.

I was in a record store once, that was selling that record for 4,000 dollars.

saw it in an antiques place & thought, wow, i've just seen it in person...about the closest i'll ever come to it...

while we're on the subject of rare vinyl, what BB-boots/rarities are on vinyl besides Smile? like adult child? or California Feeling? are they hard to come across?

I have not seen the Beach Boys vinyl boots anywhere in years. I saw a Landlocked LP at one store about nine years ago. Even the Light Album picture disc seems to have become a rarity. Sometimes the "Rarities" LP shows up at our store.

Fantasyland Records on Peachtree in Atlanta always has a few Beach Boys vinyl boots. I saw Adult Child ($25) when I was there a few weeks ago.

I saw a butcher cover at the Atlanta Record and CD show last Sunday. I didn't look at the disc, but the cover was in pretty rough shape. I think they were asking about $150 for it. At that price, I would assume the record is pretty bad.
