The Beatles: Original 1966 Black and White
The Beatles: Original 1966 Black and White Butcher Cover Poster. Rare and original proof prototype for window advertisement, 11 x 17 in size, from Capitol Records for the band's 1966 release "Yesterday and Today", featuring an image of the highly controversial original "Butcher" cover. When the cover was deemed inappropriate by Capitol and quickly changed with a more conservative paste-on cover, all record stores were advised not to use any advertisements involving the controversial cover that were released prior to the decision. This was never released since the original cover was pulled, and being a proof, is the only known example to surface. In superb condition with virtually no signs of wear. From The Tom Fontaine Music Memorabilia Collection. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
