If it was you would be able to see Ringo's black v-neck showing through on the right-middle area of the front cover. But you have found some cool records there (looks like Abbey Road in shrink wrap underneath Y&T). Cool finds!

The butchers were only available in the first batch in June, 1966. Also, the cover has a "4" on it. There are only a couple of first-state butcher covers with a "4" and NO paste-overs. This is because the Jacksonville, Illinois, pressing plant (whose covers were made by the company using a "4") ordered all their butchers to be destroyed. No butcher cover, but Yesterday...And Today is still a good album! Frank Daniels

It does have a glued slick on the top of this, is there simply a white cover below that slick? Mike     View Attached Image
