The Beatles! Is Paul Dead? Very Rare Recording!

In the fall of 1969—shortly after the release of the Beatles’ Abbey Road—a rumor swept America concerning the death of Paul McCartney. While this rumor was very popular on college campuses, the widespread acceptance of this rumor reached such proportions that stories of the phenomenon were subjects of news reports and publications no less respect than the New York Times, Time Magazine, and the cover story of Life Magazine. It was the cover of Abbey Road that started it all.

Why was Paul barefoot and out of step? Was John dressed in white representing a religious person? Was Ringo dressed like a mortician and George dressed as a shabby grave digger? What about the policeman on the other side of the street?

Fans started listen to their albums with new ears and were finding all kinds of messages in the music.

Join us as we go over all the clues, searching album covers, lyrics and even playing some song backwards. What were the Beatles up to? When asked about placing clues and hidden massage in their albums, the Beatles always skirted the issue and just laughed.

It was the cover of Abbey Road that started it all.

In the fall of 1979 as Paul McCartney and Wings were touring the UK on "Wings over Europe tour". A radio show was hitting the airways in the United States, called "Is Paul Dead Turn me on Dead Man". The second wave of Beatle Mania hit in full stride. When Beatle John Lennon was killed in December 1980 the show was pulled off the airways. 1980 would turn out to be a hard year for the Beatles and their fans, with Paul's Drug bust in Japan and his world tour cancelled and the death of John it seemed that the hope of the Beatles was gone. Then in the summer of 1981 interest in the radio program "Is Paul dead? Turn me on dead man" revived again. The show was aired again in the fall of 1981 and then it was gone off the airways just as fast as it came.

In the late 1990's as Paul McCartney publishing company MPL started asking media from around the world for any related Paul McCartney and Wings stuff, like, radio files, news clips, pictures anything the public had on Wings for the making of the documentary "Wingspan, An intimate Portrait". I stumble upon a gem, an old taping of "Is Paul Dead? Turn me on dead man". On the box it read "Aired November 15, 1981 Radio station K96". I was shocked when we played it that you could hear anything at all with large fads in and outs, sounds levels all over the place and a lot of noise. Did I say a lot of noise!

The real work began on restoring the program. It was decided to leave the tape just as it aired on the radio with all the commercials in tact. We wanted to keep that feel of the true recording and the feel of a radio program. At the end of track 1 on the CD the music just ends and track 2 begins. That is because the tape broke right there. There was not a real good way to splice it all together, so we left it like that with everything intact. The sound quality is very good compared to what we had to start with. It still fades in and out, here and there and it is a little flat, but all in all it works and the true feel of the radio program comes to life.

I hope you enjoy this program as much as I did when I first heard it on the radio in my youth. I was just getting into the Beatles as this program hit the airways and it only lit a much brighter firer in me for the Beatles and their music.

I wouldn't buy it, I believe most of it is on one of the discs from the MissHimm MissHimm set. Very good show, though.

Here is a radio show that was aired on WKBW in Buffalo, New York on Halloween, 1969.
It is very interesting to hear how much they were able to scrape together in the 10 days
since the rumor first went nationwide in the US.

Incidentally, their version of "I buried Paul" sounds almost nothing like "Cranberry Sauce" in this program.
And there are some new clues!
As well as others I'd forgotten about, like "looking down down down" in "Dear Prudence".
Definitely worth a listen!

[steveo204]

this radio show is really weird. the dramatization of Paul's death, especially.

[openmind]

that is great -wow.

[fixedsys]

Endless THANK YOU's for finding that one. I think I've heard some of it, but it must have been a condensed version, because there's no way was it an hour long. If you've found anymore, please post. Awesome show.

EDIT:

I have found one that I hadn't heard; I don't know about you guys. Check it out:

Fixedsys, that was great!!! Thank you for posting it!
Everyone here should give it a listen. They got a lot of it! Amazing stuff, really.
I liked their attitude.

Great radio shows! It'd be good to fit them all on one CD.

[fixedsys]

Glad to help. I'll be on the lookout for more. I've been checking Google for "Paul is Dead Airchecks". Seemed to find me this one; hopefully I can get lucky again!

[fixedsys]

Hmm, I thought I had posted this, but I guess not. Anyway, I dug this up:

Roby Yonge was an air personality at WABC from late 1967 until October 21, 1969. Roby has always been a controversial figure in the history of Musicradio WABC because he is remembered for his final broadcast. On that fateful evening, he went on the air with rumors of the "death" of Paul McCartney.

Roby died in July of 1997 but approximately two years before, he did a recorded conversation with his good friend Rodger Skinner who radio fans may remember as John Paul Roberts of WQAM/Miami. Rodger donated this conversation to this web site. Roby tells how he was hired at WABC, who it was he was supposed to replace, how he had a secret "code" to use whenever he called WABC and what happened on the infamous night he was taken off the air.

Roby makes reference to two of his WABC shows; his first and his last. After listening to this interview you may want to listen to the airchecks for these shows. They are available in the Musicradio WABC Airchecks section under 1967 and 1969.(26 mins.) (courtesy Rodger Skinner)

Found the thread, Letter B. They said that John was studying various death customs and fetishes. They have him quoted as saying the PID clues "package" was a "short story." It would have been a short story of a man's short life.

They play the Strawberry Fields cut backwards at 331/3 and 45 and it is absolutely "I buried Paul."

They have plainer explanations for some of the articles placed in the Sgt. Pepper cover. For instance, they think the red-haired doll is Jane Asher and the stone statue beside it is supposed to be Paul's father.

When they began explaining clues in Glass Onion, my little ears went up. At 36:12-36:19 in the broadcast, they talk about a cast aluminum or cast iron vault that goes in to act as a receptable for a coffin. In the Esquire article about John Lennon published in 1980, the writer said John had an isolation tank. It's a closed water tank that a person lays in and it was used in experiments when they were also experimenting with LSD. I am guessing that Paul was experimented on.

They thought that the walrus was John, but this has been refuted by George Harrison's video. But, they thought the walrus was in a crucifiction pose on MMT, and they thought that there was a parody of The Last Supper in page 8 of the MMT booklet. In the Bill Harry book, The Paul McCartney Encyclopedia, he said that in 1970, British record producer Mickie Most wanted Faul to star in a movie called The Second Coming of Suzanne. It was based on Leonard Cohen's song and was about Christ returning to Earth as a woman. We've already explored the songs that equate Paul with a Susanne, Susannah, or Suzanne, so I think there's no doubt that that name was a code word for Paul. Has the crucifiction angle been looked into?

They also said in the broadcast that up until a couple of weeks before the broadcast, the telephone # people found on the MMT cover was listed under William Shears, but the bills paid were from someone else. So that confirms the telephone # theory.

The disc jockeys they asked all thought that something traumatic happened to The Beatles, but they thought the PID story was John's concoction.

There is alot more in the broadcast, and I agree with Letter B: it's well worth a listen.

Some of you may experience a problem playing the radio program. Personally, I use Firefox. The quickest way to play the file is to just type in or copy and paste the following address into your favorite media player "add url" feature. It may take several seconds to begin playing as the cache memory loads. Hope this helps.

It has been touched upon from time to time, but it hasn't been properly understood, imo.
I have been trying to lay the groundwork, but my computer crashed and I lost quite a bit.
They were quite prescient.

[8749]

Please post what you have about the crucifiction references, Letter B. It could be important.

One thing I left out of my summary. They had the usual suspects commenting on the PID theory in 1969 and one of them was George Martin. He was talking about what "Paul" was seen doing in late 1969 and he said, "He does the McCartney thing. He is McCartney." (at 52:09-52:12 in the broadcast.)

8749, before I attempt to answer your request, I wanted to jump in quickly with the OTHER 'notorious'
PID broadcast of October 1969, Roby Yonge's legendary discussion of it on WABC.
I have posted this in other places on this site, but for easy reference, I think it deserves
to be in a thread called, "PID Radio Show".
As Apollo C Vermouth used to say, "Pardon the intrusion". ;D

"Maybe someday it will all come out." - Roby Yonge

(The way it really was! - Letter B)

Part 2


video description:
"On October 21, 1969. WABC-AM (New York City) DJ Roby Yonge remembered receiving mysterious calls from some of his listeners begging him to help get the tragic story to the outside world. WABC-AM was a powerful station, especially at night, and could sometimes reach forty states with its broadcast signal. In an exclusive interview with my friend Joe Johnson for his syndicated Beatle Brunch radio program, Younge recounted his role in the McCartney mystery. "'Paul McCartney dead' is something I did one strange night after some kids had called me up from the Midwest, 'cause I was on the late night show and the signal went all across the country. They said this, that, and the other. They said, 'Here are the clues,' and I laughed at them. I went on the air that night and I laughed at them. I said, 'This is ridiculous.' That night I went home and couldn't sleep. I couldn't get any rest. I thought, 'What are these kids talking about? What clues?' So, I went to my record cabinet and I started playing these records backwards as they had instructed me to and, sure enough, there emerged some very strange stuff....It was a big game in those days to uncover the clues. The kids told me, 'We hear you coming through loud and clear, why don't you blow the whistle on this?' So, I did. Oddly enough, on that same night somebody at The Tonight Show taping blurted from the audience, 'Paul is dead.' I was the first one to broadcast it to a lot of people. The switchboard at WABC was jammed. The program director came down in the middle of the night in his pajamas with an armed guard saying, 'Roby, you're creating a national panic! Get off the air!' I said, 'Fine! Fine! It's all right with me.' I said 'By the way, this is going to be one heck of a station promotion for Halloween.'"
