- Sorry to say this is not a thousand pound McCartney record and is intact a £4 country and western,which is backed up by a united artists matrix number on that A side. I was fooled too.
referencing McCartney (LP, Album, Gatefold) PCSJ(D)7102
My copy has the lamination on the cover peeling off just like the one pictured here. Still looks good though and love the black Parlaphone labels. Great flat deep quiet pressing, mine is NM and sounds outrageous, especially in headphones where you can really hear the "homemade" nature of the recordings. Great version of this seminal LP, def grab it if you ever find one in the wild.- Edited one month agoFor the Beatles' solo outputs; this, along with JL's Plastic Ono Band and GH's All Things Must Pass would be the ones to have in your collection. Just my .02.
This album is a nice n' light banger all the way through.
This is the particular version I own. It sounds great, even though its in rougher shape than I'd like. This copy was purchased new by a family member, passed on to another family member, then to my dad, and finally to me. 
does anyone have a year on this issue? I cannot seem to find anything. It sounds amazing- My copy appears to match this version except my runout stamps differ than what's listed.
My copy's Side A says "STAO-1-3363 Z11 #1 STERLING LH 0" (which is listed here as a Side B variant).
Side B says "STAO-2-3363 Z10 #2 STERLING LH 0" (which is listed here as a Side A variant). 
I have another variant, This one does not have Capitol on Side Two, Everything else matches- Edited 8 months ago

My copy 1975 Capital Black label UK copy has NICK W (Nick Webb) printed in the dead wax...not mentioned in the credits above for this pressing. Check discog's Profile for Nick Webb. He did the disc cutting and mastering. Sonic's are exceptional.. - My copy, bought in 1972, as a "B" sticker on the "U" price code. Same matrix numbers, same labels with BIEM at the right of the center hole.

Who needs the Butcher cover? the Paul Digging For Gold cover's where it's at
