If someone wants to post or point me in the direction of a mono version of SLH then I'll do a FNO/SLH comparison.

It's a single channel from the stereo version. I picked the channel that had the clearest vocal on both tracks.

Of course. I won't comment on the well 'hung part' although I'm fairly sure he gets his tadger out in 'The Man Who Fell To Earth'. ;D

I always thought Ziggy Stardust was about Hendrix. Still do to be honest. Ziggy, Weird and Gilly match the three members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Ringo is missing if this song is about Paul. The 'snow white tan' bit doesn't fit though but the rest does. "Ziggy played guitar, jammin' good with Weird and Gilly, The spiders from Mars, he played it left hand But made it too far Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's band Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling He could leave 'em to hang Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan So where were the spiders while the fly tried th break our balls Just a beer light to guide us So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands? Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we was voodoo The kids was just crass. He was the nazz With God given ass He took it all too far, but boy could he play guitar Making love with his ego, Ziggy sucked up into his mind Like a leper messiah When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band Ziggy Played Guitar"

Pepper is deliberately complicated to hide the switchover. That would be my guess. I suspect the complicated sleeve, the symbolic replacement of the band (the 'illuminati' love their symbolism), vocals effects, singing in different styles, complicated music etc were all employed to hide the change in vocals and the change in the line up.
I don't think Pepper is that 'acid soaked' or psychedlic, mostly it's busy. I think it's a great album though. I've always enjoyed it.

Thanks. Paying attention, I noticed that that "written stripe" is not just there but starts before George and ends after John I think you may be right. Not all the way along but in one or two other spots. I think there's stuff written on the actual road too.

I've underlined where the writing is and pointed an arrow at the area where it looks like they've painted out the shadow of his head. Both are very hard to see but both are visable by looking at the sleeve without any need for enlargement. You'll need good eyesight though.

If you look at the white line that 'Paul' is stepping onto and then look directly above that at the thin grey strip that borders it; there's something written there. It's very feint and very hard to make out. Also look at the white in front of his knee. That's where the shadow of his head would be assuming the angle of the sun is right. If you look closely it does look like they've painted that area out.

Live And Let Die
When you were young and your heart was an open book You used to say live and let live (you know you did, you know you did you know you did) But in this ever changing world in which we live in Makes you give in and cry Say live and let die Live and let die Live and let die Live and let die
What does it matter to ya When you got a job to do You gotta do it well You gotta give the other fellow hell
When you were young and your heart was an open book You used to say live and let live (you know you did, you know you did, you know you did) But in this ever changing world in which we live in Makes you give in and cry

I don't think the 'Paul' in the 'All You Need Is Love' video is the same 'Paul' that performs 'Get Back'. Nor do I think there's a swastika on his guitar. It looks more like a 'PM' to me.

1968's a tricky year but I think that's Let It Be Paul aka Mountain Man. I think they switched between LSD and LIB Paul throughout the first half of 68 at least. It certainly seems to be LSD Paul 'singing' Hey Jude on the David Frost Show whereas the flat faced bug-eyed Hey Bulldog/Lady Madonna video Paul seems to be closer in appearance to LIB Paul. It's all very confusing but then it's supposed to be I guess.

I have 3 AR LPs (1 Italian, 1UK first pressing, 1 UK 1st pressing with the "apple missalligned") and, just looking at them, seems there is no hair in those areas of the head... may be I should scan those. Yeah. Do it. I'd love top see a camparison. My copy is a UK pressing. Probably from the early Seventies but it's not listed in the book so I'm not sure exactly when.

Just to return to the original topic for a moment his hair is very normal on the 'Abbey Road' sleeve. ilras just used a weird picture. This is scanned from the album sleeve. There are a couple of odd lines on his face though. They both run parrallel from the corner of his mouth and nose. Leftovers from the touch up?

The cartoon on the first post is the satanic hand signal. The thumb holds down the middle and ring fingers while the pinky and index finger are raised indicating the horned god. Pres. Bush has been pictured given this signal, as well as some other political figures. I'd have to try to find the picture of Bush. Now the deaf sign for "love" is where one holds down the middle and ring finger, the index and pinky are raised, but the thumb is out to the side, like John is doing in the group pic above. I had done research on symbols and the one Bill is using, what most think of as "OK" has been used by occultists as "666" Many people use it thinking of rock and roll, not knowing the occultic origins, and many in rock and roll are occultists. So they are sharing their faith with their hand signals. John's hand is the wrong way round to be saying 'I love you'. Maybe he's saying 'uoy evol I'. I think you may be right about the '666' hand signal though. This website seems to agree. I think the fact that the same 'Paul' is using the same handsignal all these years later is very interesting. This website has lots of Bush clan 'Hook em horns' pics.

The proper satanic hand gesture is without the thumb ? I've never studied it, so I didn't know. I always thought it was Bill in the photos from the Yellow Submarine screening. At this juncture, I don't know what to think. In the proper satanic hand gesture you hold the middle two fingers down with the thumb. Apparently. I'm not a satanist. Not a practicing one anway. ;D

Bill looks tired in that photo. I would guess that all of the surgeries & injections would really put a strain on a person. When he went solo, he wasn't so fast to get those injections all the time. I have many photos of him where his face is long & lean ! That is weird about John doing the sign of the "horns". I have to wonder if he wasn't mixed up in things that he shouldn't have been. Maybe he was reaching, trying anything to get back in contact with Paul. Yoko is into black magic, so maybe she was pushing him in that direction. It looks like they've chopped off his thumb in the picture. It looks like it should be sticking off to the side which would mean it's not a proper satanic hand gesture.

The Neapolitan "smorfia" it's a very old way of interpreting the dreams translating them into numbers to be played at the lotto. Number "23" is "lo scemo" that the Italian dictionary translates with "FOOL". www.ib-network.it/la_smorfia.htm. Now look at this fool on the hill.... Interesting. It's also a number that has a certain significance in 'The Illuminatus Trilogy' and other Robert Anton Wilson books. Wilson uses the phrase '23 Skidoo' and according to Wikipedia '23 Skidoo' is the title of an Aliester Crowley poem. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_%28number%29

Why do you guys think this is a JPM double? He looks exactly like Paul, acts like Paul, is very comfortable in front of the camera and there are numberous close ups of him in this and the Daytripper video (I don't have the others).

Now THAT is interesting. How do you watch a video backwards ? Assuming you have it in digital form already then go here and download. It lets you play video backwards or at any speed, capture images and lots more. You only get it free for 30 days though but it will give you plenty of time to check out a few videos. 'A Day In A Life' is an interesting one to watch in slow motion too. Has anyone noticed the guy stalking John all the way through this video? It's again something it took a long while to notice. He has dark hair and a beige overcoat. He turns up in the first clip you see of John walking down the street and is there in every other clip bar one. I've captured a frame from each one including the one he's missing from. The last two are from the same clip where he passes John and then waits until he walks past again. Obviously it could just be come guy following John for a laugh but there's something odd about it. As a seperate sub question: Is that even John? He looks kinda different.

Thanks for looking jojo. I had a look too and the only thing that seems to be there is the flash. Is there any logical reason why that would be there? The scene they are cutting to is darker than the previous scene so surely it shouldn't suddenly get brighter as they cut? I decided to watch this video backwards. I figured there may be something that reveals itself if I did and indeed there was. I noticed something I'd never noticed even though I've watched this video countless times over the last few years and I've studied it very closely over the last few weeks. When they all meet up at the start and John and Paul Version 2A exchange glasses, John Puts his glasses on three times. I never noticed it played forwards but backwards it's so obvious. Was I the only person oblivious to this fact?
