Description

George’s mom comments on the ‘Butcher’ album cover

ALS, one page both sides, 5.25 x 7, no date but postmarked July 15, 1966. Letter to an American fan. In full: “The wedding I was to witness was called off by the MP, the girl is really upset & shocked. I went down as I had already paid for my ticket on train etc. I met 8 Americans in a pub by arrangement & we all had a happy time. Time went so fast I never visited Aunt Mimi as I had not my husband & car with me. The album cover was just a new idea from an up & coming photographer. He is out I reckon, as he cost the boys £1000 withdrawing one cover & having another rushed out. Not to worry our boys are still the same.” In fine condition, with light scattered creases and a spot of soiling. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Yesterday and Today had just been released at the end of June, so this letter was written shortly after the controversy occurred. RRAuction COA.
