There are well known
reproductions of the the Beatles
famous Yesterday and
Today LP (otherwise known as the
“Butcher cover”) that were made in
Japan in the 1990’s and are very
good copies.
Both mono and stereo version
exists as well to add to the variety.
These LPs may be found either
sealed in shrink wrap with a record
inside (not a Yesterday And Today
LP) or sealed without a record.
Honest sellers will state that
these are Japanese reproductions
but here’s where “Buyer Beware”
comes into play and why these
pages will inform you of some tell-
tale signs to identify legitimately
issued butchers from copies.
Not everyone in the hobby is as
reputable as we would like to think
or they may have been duped and
wish to unload their mistake on you.
As always, having an authentic
first or third state cover for
comparison purposes, although
ideal, is not always practical. You
may not own one at all which is the
best reason! But who of us wants to
carry our prized possession to
record shows in the hopes that we
may find another?
