The real Mia Farrow in her role as Allison MACKENZIE (where have you heard that name before?), on the Peyton Place TV show, before her 1966 imposter replacement:  Mia Farrow ---  Fia Pharrow (1967):  Fia Pharrow (1968):  Fia Pharrow (1968):  Mind Games (1973) from John Lennon, before he moved with Yoko Ono into the "black mine in' hills" of the Dakota, where Rosemary's Baby is set with Fia, and where he was assassinated ---  |

Actually, it does now!  Very few additions to the Paul was Replaced threads recently, and in fact Mia Farrow was and is at the red hot center of the Paul was Replaced story. Relax PennyLane, we'll get to Ren and Stimpy soon. |

She does look different in that first picture compared to how she looked later on and today. Interesting.
Anyway, there is a section created for this if anyone hasn't noticed. It's titled "Other famous look-a-likes". Please feel free, Beatlies, to go in more depth on this subject in that area. I am trying to get that section going but I have been too lazy to post anything on Doris Day lately.

I agree JoJo ---I was thinking of originally posting the Mia Farrow Imposter posts in "Other Famous Look-Alikes" but the "Topics/Posts -2 / -2" column display didn't look too inviting, and in this thread there already were previous Mia Farrow comments that flowed out of the Bill Shepherd Pepper topic. Anyway, I'm going to start a thread now in Other Famous about Mia / Fia.

Moderators, why is the "other famous look-alikes" area hidden from the sight of people who aren't registered? What is the point in this? Could we open this up to allow everyone including guests to see this information too?

It inherited the "other conspiracies" set of posting/viewing rules, you may have a point. We'll talk it over, thanks for bringing it up.

Just got my package from Estonia today. The LP is the same blue label record as what Jojo posted. And the record is in perfect, new condition! If my new buddie in Estonia made this cd, he did a good job. It appears to be a "real" silver cd.    |

I heard a Mitch Miller group-performed song on the radio, that sounded like it could be from the 50s or 40s, with the lyrics "Maybe I'm right or maybe I'm wrong" and the same structure/ melody as "Bill Shepherd"'s "Maybe I Will" on the Pepperpots album. It sounds like the Pepperpot's "Maybe I Will," one of the better songs if not the best song on the album is just a Beatles-imitation version of the earlier Mitch Miller-performed slow, jazzy, well-done song.
I am trying to find the title and other details of the Mitch Miller song. This is yet another case of Faul/Bill Shepherd plunderphonics stealing of non-rock songs
as, in one example, they/he did with "Let It Be" and Gilbert Becaud's earlier hit "Let It Be Me."

About this Mia connection with Roman Polanski, by starring in the Film Rosemary's Baby...
Definitely not the same girl...
Mia to ROman POlanski, married to SHaron Tate, killed by the Manson Family, who knew Terry Melcher, son of Doris Day, inspiration to Beatle songs, and Manson Family claims Beatle music was inspiration for their little world....Mia/Fia in INdia....with Beatles...
It's a small world after all......

With regards to the Pepperpots....I heard a clip of their music from some other thread...now because they were singing Beatles songs and tried to sound like the Beatles, the thing that comes to mind are the "Rutles"....now did the Rutles movie have any clues?
Perhaps the Pepperpots were inspiration of the Rutles....Beatle impersonators...Bill wanting to become a Beatle so badly that he was first in line to be Paul replacement....

I don't think the originals sound that much like The Beatles. They had that '64 Liverpool sound; but the songwriting doesn't sound very Beatle-y to me.
The song I'm playin' right now sounds more like Freddy & The Dreamers.

There were a million and one Beatle-esque, even in their own opinions, in the 1960's...
this was just another cheap imitation.....
You can have a billion duplicates, but it's never as good as the original.

I recently got a book named: "British Beat 1960-1969", an A-Z list of seemingly every popular and obscure British group of the time period. Ever heard of "The Eyes"? Yeah, neither have I, but this obscure group that lasted a couple of years is listed here along with other like groups.
Where are the Pepperpots? Where is Bill Shepherd? Surely they warrant a paragraph or two?

You would think if they pressed some wax discs, they should count for something..unless when Bill became Faul, it made the Pepperpots history null and void...almost as if they didn't exist.

Not if he was situated in Canada. Does that book include Canadian groups ? No, but The Pepperpots are said to be from Liverpool, at least that's what the album sleeve claimed.. Even if their "Liverpoolness" is a slight exaggeration to cash in on the Mersey craze, they are from England, or are supposed to be, hence they should be amongst some list of groups from the time/location. Another thing to note, if you pick a group from this book, and do a Google search, chances are very good you will find a "where are they now" page dedicated to them. Many groups or at least a member or two are often touring on the nostalgia circuit, and these pages list their accomplishments in the intervening years. No one quite pulled off disappearing off the face of the earth like Bill Shepherd and the Pepperpots.. |

Wasn't Billy supposed to be from Canada? Maybe he moved to or from there. Isn't Jimmy Fraser, who was a member, Canadian, and doesn't he have a website? If he is the same person.....

I couldn't find a picture to a link, but Monty Python's Flying Circus had skits where the men dressed up like middle aged women and they were called the Pepperpots

Another "Merseymania" group called "The Buggs", I found this in a used record store today:   There is no composer listed for any of the songs, and they do a version of She Loves You that sounds remarkably similar to the Pepperpots. Of course uniformity may have been the rule when covering Beatles songs but.. This is another one that is not listed in my encyclopedia of 60's British groups, and other than for people selling the disks, I can't find much on Google. (there is a "Baja Buggs", but they are Californians) |
