Notes: 

- Black rainbow label, without "subsidiary" rim text: The Rainbow label was in use until 1969, but from mid-1968 with a written addition on the label Edge. - Trunk cover: After the catastrophe of [r1480760 the so-called butcher cover, this was released with a new and innocent cover, the so-called ''trunk cover''. At the first edition, the Butcher cover was simply glued over with the Trunk cover. This version is the first edition to be produced original with the trunk cover. - Pressing-plant-number: The "8 " stands for the Capitol press plant in Scranton, PA, when it comes to this release. This can cause confusion because the "8 " usually stands for Decca for Beatles releases. As far as I know, Decca was not involved in the "Yesterday ... and today " publications. The numbers were probably different in the individual LP. Scranton also used the number 3 for all mono-LP, and other numbers for all stereo LP (2, 12, 21). - "I AM" triangle: A machine stamped triangle with the initials IAM indicates that the record was pressed at the Scranton, Pennsylvania plant. "IAM" stood for the International Association of Machinists' union whose members worked at the Scranton plant. It first took effect on Scranton pressings around February, 1963. - STEREO: The LP is a sampler from the English LPs "HELP ," "Rubber Soul " and "REVOLVER ." The US Lp appeared in June 1966, so 2 months rather than the "REVOLVER " in the UK. Capitol has converted the monos of the 3 REVOLVER titles into fake stereo and brought them to the LP. The English EMI has not yet been able to send stereo recordings, as the LP was not able to do so until August 1966. It was due to appear in the UK and the stereo mixes had not yet been made. On the club LP ST-8-2553, which appeared in 1969, all the titles were then in original stereo To hear. It was not until 1973 that the correct stereo recordings were on all rebookings of the "Yesterday ... and Today " To hear.

Goldmine Grading Guide

A universally accepted standard for representing the condition of physical music in the resale market, including vinyl records, CDs, and cassettes. The levels range from Mint (perfect) down to Poor/Fair (damaged).

Mint (M)

Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.

Near Mint (NM or M-)

A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

The item will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Any defects are of a cosmetic nature and do not affect the actual playback. In theory, a Very Good Plus (VG+) item should sound the same as a Near Mint (NM) one. Surfaces may show some signs of wear, such as slight scuffs or very light scratches, and slight warps that do not affect the sound are okay. Paper products like sleeves will have some wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a small seam-split. In general, it plays perfectly, and if not for some minor aesthetic wear, it would be Near Mint.

Very Good (VG)

The item’s defects will be more pronounced. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and fade, but will not overpower the music. Wear will start to be noticeable, such as with light scratches on vinyl (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels, covers, and sleeves may be marred by writing or have tape, stickers, and residue attached. However, a VG item will not have all of these problems at the same time.

Good (G), Good Plus( G+)

An item in Good (G) or Good Plus (G+) condition can be played through without skipping, but it will have significant surface noise, scratches, crackling, or visible wear. A container, cover, or sleeve will have scratches or seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, or other defects will also be present.

Poor (P), Fair (F)

The item is cracked, badly warped, and won’t play through without skipping or repeating. The container or cover could be cracked, water-damaged, and heavily marred by wear or writing. If it is a vinyl record, the album cover and inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.
