Beatles fans: I saw a real rarity today. [View All]

[CanuckAmok]

I'm scouting locations for a movie. I've been looking at high-end homes all week.

This morning, I was being shown around a place by the woman who shares it with her husband, and what does he have framed over his home-office desk?

The butcher cover. Absolutely mint. No edge wear, no ring, no creases. Still sealed. Mono. T-2553 Canadian pressing.

I said to her "is that a real butcher cover?", and she was completely freaked-out that I even knew what it was. She was pretty happy, actually, because none of their friends understand why they have such a "gross" piece of art hanging on the wall.

I looked up the value of this album on a collector's site, and it's $18,000-$20,000 US.

:shocked:

Please don't PM me asking for location/contact info; I'm sworn to secrecy!
