About this record
The 1966 Capitol pressing of Yesterday And Today carries the black rainbow label without subsidiary rim text, a hallmark of the original trunk-cover issue released that June. The runout matrices ST-X-1-2553, ST-X-2-2553, ST-1-2553-W4, and ST-1-2553-X5 identify pressings from Capitol Records pressing plants, including the Scranton facility.
Demand remains steady: 765 collectors want this title against 9557 who own one, yet only 24 copies trade below the lowest recorded price of 17.19 USD.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this 1966 US Capitol pressing. A Mint copy commands 64.26 USD, while the same record in VG+ condition drops to 43.97 USD and further to 30.44 USD in VG grade.
The floor sits at 3.38 USD for Poor condition, illustrating the steep penalty for wear on a 58-year-old compilation. The 24 copies currently listed at 17.19 USD represent the active supply floor.
The catalogue number ST 2553 appears across both mono and stereo variants, though this stereo edition on the black rainbow label (1966–68 pressing window) commands stronger collector interest than later reissues. The 765 want-list entries against 9557 have entries suggest moderate but stable demand relative to availability.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify this pressing by the catalogue number ST 2553 printed on the label and spine. The black Capitol rainbow label without subsidiary rim text confirms the 1966–68 pressing window; later pressings carry different label graphics.
Examine the dead-wax runout: ST-X-1-2553 or ST-X-2-2553 on Side 1, and ST-1-2553-W4 or ST-1-2553-X5 on Side 2 identify Capitol Records pressing plants. The trunk cover without butcher photograph underneath is original to the June 1966 release; later issues added the butcher shot.
The label reads Yesterday...And Today (with ellipsis), matching the back cover. Grade by vinyl surface condition, label printing clarity, and cover stock integrity.
No barcode appears on original 1966 pressings; its presence indicates a later reissue. The 11 tracks and stereo designation confirm the correct edition.

Frequently asked
What is the price range for this 1966 Capitol pressing in different conditions?
A Mint copy is valued at 64.26 USD, while NM drops to 57.50 USD. VG+ copies trade around 43.97 USD, and VG examples at 30.44 USD. These figures represent price-guide estimates as of the most recent market snapshot. The lowest active listing sits at 17.19 USD, reflecting either lower grades or dealer clearance pricing.
How do I confirm I own the original 1966 pressing and not a later reissue?
Check the label for the black Capitol rainbow design without subsidiary rim text; this marks the 1966–68 window. Inspect the dead-wax runout for ST-X-1-2553, ST-X-2-2553, ST-1-2553-W4, or ST-1-2553-X5, which identify Capitol pressing plants. The trunk cover must lack the butcher photograph underneath—the June 1966 issue came without it. Absence of a barcode also confirms an original pressing.
Why does condition matter so much for this record?
The 64.26 USD Mint price versus 3.38 USD Poor price reflects the record's age and the collector base's sensitivity to wear. At 58 years old, original 1966 Capitol pressings show vinyl degradation, label fading, and cover aging. Even a single grade drop—from VG+ at 43.97 USD to VG at 30.44 USD—represents a material loss. Collectors of this compilation prioritize clean, quiet copies.
Is this a rare record?
No. The community database shows 9557 collectors own this title, making it one of the most common Beatles pressings. The 765 want-list entries indicate steady but not urgent demand. With 24 copies currently for sale at the lowest price point, supply remains accessible. Rarity lies in finding high-grade original 1966 trunk-cover copies, not in the record itself.
What does the catalogue number ST 2553 tell me?
ST 2553 is the stereo Capitol catalogue number for Yesterday And Today. The ST prefix denotes stereo; mono copies carry a different prefix. This number appears on both the label and the spine. The catalogue number alone does not distinguish pressing plants or release years; you must read the label design and dead-wax matrix to confirm the 1966 original versus later reissues.
