Billie and Kristy lead a gang of armed robbers who steal from banks, armoured cars, and the like. HA! Billie or Billy (Jayne Mansfield) -- so odd she's placed right behind Paul !!! Hahaaa!

Ah, thanks guys! Twickenham Studios, that makes sense. I couldn't find nothing but nothing about it anywhere. Yes, it is oddly slightly reminiscent of the front to Sgt. Pepper's & Revolver.

You're welcome. I'm still researching As the Vinyl LP cuts out some of the mural, it's hard to say who some people are without seeing a bigger scan of the whole mural. But what I can see from the photograph: Albert Finney. Look at the man dressed as a pirate, possibly from an old film. He's looking directly at Albert Finney, most likely from the film Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960), about a factory worker who is seeing two women, one of which is already married and pregnant with his child.

Thanks Beacon, of all the faces in this photograph, Carmichael was one that looked familiar to me as well. Just couldn't put a name to the face.

Jayne Mansfield starred in the ‘50s rock & roll film “The Girl Can’t Help It” which was a big inspiration to the Beatles when they were teenagers. She was also hanging out with the Beatles the night George threw his drink on a camera man. Interesting, “Saturday Night and Sunday Morning” was one many films and books that had come out in the ‘50s and early-60s spearheading the changing views on society, sex, religion and politics in Britain. i.e. A Taste of Honey, Room at the Top, That Was The Week That Was, Look Back In Anger, The Outsider, the un-banning of D.H. Lawrence’s “Lady CHatterly’s Lover” Bishop of Woolwich Dr. John Robinson’s “Honest to God” which suggested that it was time to develop new thoughts on religion, and poets like Phillip Larkin who urged sexual freedom. Those productions, coupled with Secretary of State for War John Profumo’s sex scandal in 1962, set the stage for the Beatles and all the revolutions that they and their peers would launch in the ‘60s.

beaconfilms2011.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/beatles-and-search-for-light.htmlI have come across an article from the British publication, now long defunct, the Record Mirror that provides a clue, perhaps, to the Beatles wishing to use masonic or illuminati symbolism a long time prior to Sgt. Pepper. According to the article of October 10th 1964, the cover of Beatles For Sale was originally going to show the boys with lit matches under their chins standing under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The Arc de Triomphe is a building with established masonic links. The monument is home to the tomb of the unknown soldier and this is marked by the ‘eternal flame’ monument. An eternal flame also burns next to the grave of President John F. Kennedy. This is also reminiscent of the torch that is held by the Statue of Liberty in New York, a monument that was donated by French freemasons to their American brethren. It is believed the Statue of Liberty is holding the Masonic “Torch of Enlightenment,” which represents the Sun, and of course the word Illuminati means “to bare light,” precisely what the Beatles are doing in the photo above. The Arc de Triomphe is placed at the centre of a circle from which 12 roads go out across Paris. On the road circle around the Arc de Triomphe are 12 points on the road making a 12-pointed star. The following information from Wikipedia further demonstrates the links between the Arc de Triomphe and Freemasonry. Freemasons and the Paris Commune During the 19th century, French Freemasonry became increasingly involved in politics. According to Ernest Belfort Bax, Freemasons were responsible for the last serious attempt at conciliation between Versailles and the Commune on 21 April 1870. They were received coldly by Adolphe Thiers, who assured them that, though Paris was given over to destruction and slaughter, the law should be enforced, and he kept his word. A few days after they decided, in a public meeting, to plant their banner on the ramparts and throw in their lot with the Commune. On the 29th, accordingly, 10,000 of the brethren met (55 lodges being represented), and marched to the Hôtel de Ville, headed by the Grand Masters in full insignia and the banners of the lodges. Amongst them the new banner of Vincennes was conspicuous, bearing the inscription in red letters on a white ground, “Love one another.” A balloon was then sent up, which let fall at intervals, outside Paris, a manifesto of the Freemasons. The procession then wended its way through the boulevards and the Champs Elysées to the Arc de Triomphe, where the banners were planted at various points along the ramparts. On seeing the white flag on the Porte Maillot the Versaillese ceased firing, and the commander, himself a Freemason, received a deputation of brethren, and suggested a final appeal to Versailles, which was agreed to. The Arc de Triumphe du Carrousel sits in the Axe Historique, which is aligned to the heliacal rising of Sirius. It was built by Napoleon. When you stand under the central arch, your body symbolically resonates with the sun. The name carrousel suggest planets revolving around you. The 12 hedges representing constellations of the Zodiac radiate like rays of the sun from exactly where you are standing. The oval that terminates the hedges symbolizes Kepler’s scientific discovery that planets have elliptical orbits. The square hedges are the two foci of the ellipse. Similarly, Place de l’Etoile/Arc de Triumphe can be read as a 'stargate'. 12 streets radiating outward represent the Zodiac. The Tomb of the Unkown Soldier looking a lot like a Kubrick Monolith. From part 21 of a must-see 23 part series on sacred geometry in the architecture of the major cities www.youtube.com/watch?v=di3VyOxfhJ4Notice Paul is lighting the lighter with his right hand. Ever tried lighting a lighter with your non-dominant hand?

Lots of lyrics related to sun worship and light. "And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me""And like a Lucifer she'll always shine""Good Day Sunshine""Here Come(s) the Sun (King)""And the light of the night fell on me""Feel the Sun""And we'll all shine on, like the sun and the moon and the stars"Just off the top of me head

And of course "I'll follow the Sun". Take a close look at the "I need you" clip from the movie "Help!". There's a lot of sun symblosim in it. I think it didn't happen accidentally that there is Stonehenge in the background. Look where's George Harrison looking at when hie sings the words "I need you". Guess who he needs! www.dailymotion.com/video/x7a88b_the-beatles-i-need-you_music#.UdqCLPlA06U
