Nice work!

Yes. Interesting.
I'd be curious to know where Leslo is in relation to Patmos, and to the Aegean island of Kastellorizon,
the island from which David Gilmour apparently went to visit "Paul" in spirit (apparently)
described in the "On an Island" recording.

Here's some more about the Beatles and Leslo:

www.countrylife.co.uk/property/guidesinternational/article/149163/Greek_islands_for_sale.html

"The Beatles themselves became victims of the 'wild west' Greek island property market when a crook tried to sell them an island belonging to the Government, with a population of 400 people. Eventually, they found Leslo in 1967 an 80-acre main island with four small islands surrounding it, one for each of the band members. It was on the market for just £90,000 and included a small fishing village, four beaches and a large olive grove. But, after complications with certificates, the sale fell through and The Beatles gave up hope of owning their very own Greek haven."

"In July 1967, the Beatles decided they would like to live together on a Greek island and build a recording studio there. John sent his friend Alex Mardas (known as Magic Alex) to search for a suitable island.

"Alex flew to Greece and came up with the island of John's dreams: the island of Leslo, about 80 acres surrounded by four habitable islands, one for each Beatle. The island was for sale for £90,000, including a small fishing village, four ideal beaches and 16 acres of olive groves. "
[From "The Beatles Diary" by Barry Miles]

All four Beatles and their wives (apart from Ringo’s wife, Maureen, who was pregnant) flew out to Athens to inspect Leslo.

"We rented a boat and sailed it up and down the coast from Athens, looking at islands. Somebody had said we should invest some money, so we thought: ‘Well, let’s buy an island. We’ll just go there and drop out.’
It was a great trip. John and I were on acid all the time, sitting on the front of the ship playing ukuleles. Greece was on the left; a big island on the right. The sun was shining and we sang ‘Hare Krishna’ for hours and hours."
[George Harrison, Beatles Anthology]

Alistair Taylor was sent back to London to arrange the purchase of the island but by the time he received permission from the government to buy it nobody was interested anymore and the idea was dropped."

what about the "circus" cart parked there?

It's off the coast of Ireland on Dornish; not at Leslo.

"Thanks for your comments SF, it's a definite possibility, don't ya think?

So, about the island, there is of course the subject of the Pepper cover, and how some have made out the flowers to say "BE AT LESO". Of course Les(l)o was the name of the island in Greece that the beatles purchased, but later sold back to the Greek govt.

However, from: www.beatlemoney.com/johnapple.htm

John soon afterwards bought, for a whim and twenty thousand pounds, two small uninhabited islands know together as Dornish off the northwest coast of Ireland. At considerable expense he had the colorful psychedelic horse-drawn wooden Sgt. Pepper wagon shipped to Dornish. It was the only standing structure on either island. John visited the islands once, traveling by helicopter to conduct a job interview with a potential manager of Apple. It was John's idea to hold the interview there. He later gave Dornish to a hippie commune (Flippo, p. 242).

If Paul's ashes were held until a special place could be located, why not here, in the safe keeping of the hippie commune? Symbolically it makes sense, given Paul's Irish heritage.

Another thought I had, that Pepper wagon was put on a little journey as illustrated here:



Again, just a thought, but I wonder if the Wagon was delivered to the island with a "surprise" inside, preceded by this "funeral procession" of John's making?"

"If the wagon was supposedly a gift for Julian like the book states, then why ship it off to Dornish? Why place the Sgt. Pepper logo on it?

the point here is the analogy, a hidden message in Withe album, "rev 1:9" . John, the Beloved disciple and Lennon, both in a greek island, sufering alone, for a truth to reveal

Yes, but I'm wondering if it was practically the same island as well.
