Hello. I purchased and read Billy's Back and Memoirs of Billy Shears.... one book appears to be a stripped down version (which I purchased first)
of the other one. Both are very interesting and put together a plausible scenario, written in a novel approach.
I couldn't put them down when I got my hands on them.

Another book which I am reading for the second time, and is interesting is
An Investigation into: The Beatles, Paul McCartney: His Alleged Death and Cover-Up in Late 1966 by Michael Wright.
This is a fascinating book which I recommend if you want to read more about the subject.

[B]

Thank you!

I received the Beatles Enlightenment book in the mail, and was going to wait 'til the others arrived,
so as to read them in sequence, but of course, I had to take a look, having not read the book!

And the author mentions something I feel so stupid for having missed!

We've spoken so often of "the hand over Paul's head",



but what is it? What, as Apollo C Vermouth would have said, "is shown"?

It's a palm. A "paul m".



I give full credit to the author, Thomas E Uharriet.

[B]

This is quite the book.



I'll have more to say once I've read more of it, but.....

And yes, that is the all-seeing-eye in the "O".

[jpmtruthcanuck]

I couldn't stop reading the Memoirs of Billy Shears - It is quite the book. I think I'll re-read it. I look forward to your comments.

Not to change the topic, but the book I referred to in my earlier post in this thread (An Investigation into:
The Beatles, Paul McCartney, His Alleged Death and cover up in late 1966 by Michael Wright) is also a great read.
Some of the info in that book I have never heard. Has anyone read it, and if so, do you have comments?

This is a great website, by the way. I don't sign on that often but I do check it daily. I have learned a lot from it. Cheers.

Everyone take a bow.
If you ever posted anything here, take a bow.
If you ever posted anything at TKIN/60IF, take a bow.
If you ever posted anything at PID Miss Him Miss Him Miss Him, take a bow.

We did it!!!!

Seriously, if even half of what's written in The Memoirs of Billy Shears is correct,
(and if you read it you will have to think that it's likely that more than that is)
then we did quite well, sussing out clues, if I say so myself.

Even stuff that sounded like bull sh** was on target.
Maybe not always right, but in the ball park.

"Beatle Paul/Sun King" talking about Vivian Stanshall Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner.

Barney Fife? ok, No.
Sylvia Vartan? No, but then again.... (I still want to know how/why/who she was replaced!)

absolutely.

Did we have helpers on the way? Maybe some VIPS even? Indubitably!

But hats off to us!!!

And - if you have any interest in PID/PWR at all - you simply must read this book!
There's more there than any of us came up with. Connections within connections, but more about that later. Maybe.

8. Did William Shepherd write this book?
No, this book was written by the encoder, Thomas E. Uharriet.

9. Where did Uharriet get the material to write and/or encode this book?
Most of the material for this book is based on words by the current Paul Mccartney (formerly known as William Shepherd).
However, Uharriet took liberties with dialogue and other elements ensuring that this book is a work of historical-fiction.... (more at link)

10. Which parts of the book are non-fiction?
Everything proving that Paul died and was replaced is correct and historically verifiable. Most of the rest,
with the exception of chapter 35, is also correct. Chapter 65 explains some of the other exceptions.

11. Did Uharriet really plan this book with Paul McCartney when they met at a beach in Southern California?
No. Uharriet (who was only seven years old when Paul died in 1966) never met Paul.
The story about Uharriet meeting William (as Paul) on a Southern Californian beach one hot day after Paul left
a recording studio in Los Angeles is merely a legend that was invented (in chapter 35...) to explain this book.

11. To what extent was William ... involved in writing and/or encoding The Memoirs of Billy Shears ... ?
The encoding was done entirely by Thomas E. Uharriet. Even though you, the reader, will realize that much of
the material could only have been known by William (the new Paul), or by his closest confidants, and even though
William is the primary source, we maintain the position that William "Paul" had nothing to do with it .... " (more at link)

"There's nothing you can see that isn't shown." - Apollo C Vermouth's favorite quote here

I hear him saying that in my head in response to my "Everyone take a bow" post.
Fair enough.
I did not mean to suggest that we should be boastful about what a great group of detectives we were,
while failing to acknowledge that "it takes two to tango".
However, if the objective of solving the PID/PWR mystery was for us to tune into the mind of the
initiators of the 'game', then I have to say I think we did remarkably well as a group.

I mean: presumably the degree to which we succeeded in finding the clues would seem to be an
indicator of having successfully tuned into quite a lot. And we did that rather well, imho.
I may not be the one grading the class, unfortunately, but the degree to which we succeeded is - frankly - incredible!

Was there more to it? More than the challenge of finding clues, I mean.
Surely there was.
Finding 'another kind of mind there' and being shown, no doubt, was part of it,
but more specifically, finding our way to the ecce cor meum of the one
who had been sacrificed also must have been part of the intent as well.

I'm still wending my way through this massive tome, and will have comments when I'm done.
The book is 666 pages long, not counting a few pages at the end, listing songs references
in the text. William identifies with that number, while Paul was "number 9", or '999' in a
Beatles number game defining which person was who. William was "number 6", but Jimi didn't mind.

the review:

"This is him."

Really, it is.

Or at least, Sir Paul thinks he is. That's why he said it to David Letterman.

He believes that Paul's spirit attached itself onto his left shoulder after he had died.
Hence the lyric: "The movement you need is on your shoulder" in "Hey Jude".
Sir Paul believes that Paul gave him his (Paul's) voice during a séance, speaking through him, saying
"Take this brother! May it serve you well!"

Ah, but here's where it gets interesting.
Can a person take on another's identity outwardly, and still be himself or herself?
Imagine, for example, if you had to take on the identity of Sarah Palin.
You would have to take on behavior that was probably not naturally yours, and
express opinions that weren't necessarily what you truly believed.
AND, you wouldn't be free to express how you really felt about many things.
Would you be able to do it? How long would it be before you drove yourself crazy?

Fortunately Sir Paul, when agreeing to play the role of Paul McCartney, didn't have to take on
a persona that was too far removed from his own, and clearly he made the effort,
but it seems obvious to me that from the very start his ego asserted itself in numerous ways.
For one: He was "Billy Shears", and he established HIS identity on the first Beatle album he was on,
even though it was Ringo who sang "I Get By with a Little Help from My Friends".
He made himself a presence - a person - on the album.
For two: When he signed on with the Beatles, he insisted that HE have control of the band as a condition
for filling in as Paul.

I can't imagine doing such a thing, given the chance, but then, that's me.
Sir Paul (or rather William Wallace Shepherd, as he lets us know in the book)
fancied he was a more accomplished musician than Paul, and lets you know this
again and again and again in the text. Moreover, he wasn't too crazy about their
earlier work, and dismisses it as "silly love songs". He figured HE would show
the others how to go beyond the level of accomplishment they had achieved prior
to his arrival, and since they were at a loss to do anything without Paul's presence,
they more or less allowed him to have his way.

Now to be fair, William "Walrus" Shepherd did make a very real effort to attune himself to
what Paul would have had them be doing, if he were still present with the band, and William
seriously did what he could to channel the spirit of Paul on a full time basis - EXCEPT - it seems to me -
when he didn't feel like doing it because HE knew how to do things 'better better better'.

And so you have a situation where William wanted to do right by Paul, but always seems
to have had an attitude that he was the superior musician, writer, producer, etc.
which he may have been, but his lack of modesty effectively prevented
Paul and John from having the casual and cordial relationship they had had before.

Now since Sir Paul did/does have a bit of an ego -
Let me rephrase that.
In as much as Sir Paul has

A Rather Large Ego!

(justifiably or otherwise)
he was able to push, pull, demand, and GET what he wanted from the Beatles,
and some of 'their best' work came out under his direction.
That is, until they couldn't stand it any more.
And until HE couldn't stand it any more, and then he left the band!
Without a Paul of either variety in the band, it fell apart, and the individual Beatles
started their solo careers.

But this book is fiction, you say. The author himself says as much!

Yes, because for legal reasons, it has to be. But it's snot.

There is a ton of information in the book.
The locations of numerous "back masking" and reversals in Beatles songs (MANY of which we've found!)
Explanations of Beatle songs: who they were about, what inspired them.
Revelations of songs by others that resulted from Paul having died in an automobile accident with "Donna".
What the days ("Sunday's on the phone to Monday" etc.) are about.
And many other topics, including: Doesn't the publishing of Sir Paul's memoirs revealing many of the secrets
mean that people who pursue the mystery on websites like this one are now irrelevant? (He says 'no'.)

I will not lie. Reading this book is "a spoiler". Many of your questions will be answered, as well as some you never asked!
But not all.
Will it "ruin it" to read the book?
Yes/No

But I say, it's all right. Take the plunge! You'll never regret it!

I'll give it 5 stars *****. Or maybe even 7, 8, or 9. Or more!

Lets not forget the other "palm" on the cover, shown below is a still from Beatles Anthology with the area around the palm mirrored. Funny that the Anthology program just drops this hint like that, no? Some people see a walrus with this mirroring, so to take it another step, reading down you get "palm walrus". (the walrus is Paul?)



Edit to add I took B's advice and bought the book, the unabridged Memoirs one. It is a bit pricey, 40 bucks on Amazon, so be forewarned.

[B]

Worth every penny, and there are older copies lying around on Ebay, Barnes & Noble, and other places.
For the actual books, they print each one as it is ordered. Mine was "Made in the USA Charleston, SC 03 April 2015"

[JoJo]

I'm moving this to "General" because there are some interesting related topics of discussion.

So, we have discussed other groups like The Who slipping Paul is replaced/dead messages into their music. In chapter 32 Mr. Shears (as fictionally told to Thomas Uharriet) discusses the song "Won't Get Fooled Again" To quote just a bit..


..When you hear "Meet the new boss / same as the old boss", listen to it carefully to hear, Meet the new boss, same as the old Paul". Since the brain can only process one thing at a time consciously, it subconsciously selects the most reasonable message, favoring expected lines over unexpected overdubbed messages. That is one of the advantages of overdubbing.

And then:

If you listen while intending to hear "Paul" you will likely hear it, but you will also hear the final "S" sound of "boss," making the word unintentionally sound like "Pauls."

Yeah so.. I had to try it out why not? I confess I once tracked down some bootlegs of outtakes from the "Who's Next" sessions, hoping to hear them mess up and say Paul instead of boss, but no go.

Here is the section of the song as is:

jojoplace.org/Shoebox/Who_WGFA/New_Boss.mp3

And so after playing around, I decided to run the two "bosses" together and also truncate it down so as to get rid of the final "S" sound in both:

jojoplace.org/Shoebox/Who_WGFA/Boss_Paul.mp3

So.. Maybe something to this? You may or may not hear it, I dunno. I had fun doing something like this after all these years anyway.

There's something else he discusses regarding a song and backward masking that I will get to soon..

[B]

Without the "S" it does sound like Paul, but with the "s" I hear "boss".
But that's just me.

Here's a link to a thread that had already been done about the Billy Shears memoir.
I was unaware of it, actually. All apologies.

invanddis.proboards.com/thread/7748/memoirs-billy-shears   

[astro4]

Thanks for putting in a link to my earlier thread. The Memoirs of Billy Shears was really the inspiration for me writing my book
'The Life and Death of Paul McCartney 1942-66, A Very English Mystery'
www.amazon.com/Life-Death-Paul-McCartney-1942/dp/1517283132

I'm absolutely amazed at the way the author managed to write a book of 666 pages in 66 chapters with that 'acrostic decoding'
such that the first letters of every alternate line themselves compose a message, which sums up or echoes the meaning of each chapter.
Words just fail me. 

[delysid]

I've only just seen this thread after recently enquiring about these books.
I think I might have ordered them if I hadn't visited the author's Facebook page in the interim.
But it does sound like a work of some craft, possibly backward witchcraft.

Which leads me to rephrase my recent heretical question:
How come so many of an ostensibly 'Christian' bent (as Uharriet is, notably) are so obsessed with the occult?
I doubt the average paid-up Crowleyite could have composed a work of such intricate occultist construction!

[silverbeatle]

Uharriet seems like a nice enough fellow. Don't know if he's Christian but he does post a lot of Eastern Spirituality-related material on his Facebook page.

Who is Paul McCartney?

[presto]

The Memoirs of Billy Shears Inspired Nick to write Life and Death of Paul McCartney. I bought the latter but when every other page referenced the former I had to buy it.

While it's a hefty 30 bucks or so for the Memoirs book it is a must read for PID researchers.

Here's what is crazy to me whenever there is information about Faul that is released it's like he's very aware of it and then suddenly appears in the media for whatever reason
to sort of mask it. Example. The latest love child of James Paul was immediately overshadowed by celebrating Beatlemania with Ron Howard, Ringo, & Sir Faul.

[delysid]

If anyone here has digital copies of any of these, I'll swap for the digitals of the new Beatles 66 and Tara Browne books!
I'd order the hardcopies but they're already expensive so adding international postage just makes them an absolute no-no for me.
I might be crazy but I'm not THAT crazy
