Dear Beatles: Annabel is not pleased with the RUBBER SOUL cover!

(From: THE BEATLES BOOK MONTHLY, No. 31. Feb. 1966)

When first I saw your latest LP sleeve My eyes, dear Beatles, I could scarce believe There's nobody, I feel, could like it much Except, perhaps, the vampire-minded Sutch. I tried to Work It Out, but I could not, Why such a very photogenic lot Should want to see yourselves portrayed as freaks; You look as if you'd all been dead for weeks. Believe me, Beatles, I admire you vastly And scarce can bear to see you look so ghastly. John's usual zest for living is so great I hate to see him looking like "the late". For innocent-appearing wide-eyed Paul This graveyard guise is not the thing at all. The Pretty Things are prettier by far Than that grey-yellow Dracula-type Starr. And so cadaverous seems Georgy Harrison That Jagger's an Adonis by comparison. What bird who over Beatle pictures drools Can want to see her idols look like ghouls? Twould be a bonus, giving extra pleasure, To make the photo one your fans could treasure. The album, lads, is wonderful; these strictures Are just directed at those 'orrid pictures.
