Great post. I do think there may be something more to this album cover and it is definitely pointing back toward Pepper. I wonder when somebody first put a mirror to the Pepper drumskin? Here we have the drummers name mirrored, which is a fairly big clue if one appreciates it as such.

What I don't understand is how Paul doesn't want this up, apparently, yet we have Mike reposting it. Then again, IAAP is apparently planning to break away by the sounds of it, even though I got told that they did so in 2012. Don't know what to make of it. Also - I'm having threats left right and center for making a joke video about the Documentary!? Strange Days Indeed. Sounds like you're caught in the middle of a pissing contest between he who shall not be named on this forum and Martin Heurlin over the rotting corpse of the once mighty Iamaphoney.org. If Sir Paul has decreed that the project, or whatever it once was, is on hold, or is over, then the revelation will never see the light of day. I wouldn't worry about any threats; just boys waving their dicks around! However, it is a huge shame that it has all descended to this.

I heard somewhere that Fred LaBour who wrote the "McCartney Dead; New Evidence Brought to Light" article (http://michigantoday.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/paul-paper.jpg) admitted that he made up William Campbell, but I cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone here have any proof of this or am I just getting muddled up here? And if the first replacement/the replacement wasn't called William Campbell... what IS his name? I think he said it in the Who Buried Paul McCartney? documentary, but, too be honest I'm not sure. He did make it up though!!

Flats - Heels - Heels - Heels - Flats - Flats Are there two different "Pauls" going around RIGHT NOW? Seems like it. The guy who was denied entry into that party thrown by Kylie Jenner's husband in February does not look like the Paul who performed at Minneapolis' target center in May. But maybe its my old eyes. Hi Superman, certainly, there are at least two. There were these six around 2010: i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo110/faulconandsnowjob/Nancy_PID_mccartney.jpgAs they are all getting rather old, it is possible they may get sick or die and there has to be some new doubles. The real Paul turns 75 this year. Some people who seem to want him to be dead may get their wish any day.

Here is Phil Ackrill's email; philackrill@btinternet.com why not drop him a line? Just use common sense when it comes to stuff like Phil Ackrill.....he has nothing to do with anything. Try to rigorously promote the the most outrageous, ridiculous, baseless theory you can on these message boards and you will gain a following. Not only that but in a short time people will swear it was gospel. Hi Red Lion, I agree there are a lot of things that are not true in all these boards, websites and videos. But sometimes, they may start with a little bit of truth that is then turned into falsehood by people adding crazy things to it. I'd say that four things point to the possibility of Phil Ackrill as one of Paul's replacements who would have kept working with him when he came back: - the fact that he supposedly left the music business in 64 - the name Faul that could be Phaul instead - the mention of "with the Philly band" in the song "Venus and Mars" www.metrolyrics.com/venus-and-marsrock-show-lyrics-paul-mccartney.html- his relationship with another possible replacement who is the most obvious among these three that Apollo mentioned: ' A coin, a sheep, a favored son, were welcomed guest when the day was done.' 'It would stagger the mind in knowing just how many different souls it took to replace just “one.” '

stevem - there are certainly some interesting anomolies in the history of the Beatles' cars. I checked the DVLC site for George's Aston KPP 4C and it says that it was manufactured in 1964, but that it was first registered in 2004 - and that it is now green! Clearly it has been resprayed and re-registered. Presumably it was off the road for some time and whoever has it now either does not know of its past, or simply doesn't care. Of course you are basing your assumptions on there having been a fatal car crash in the first place, which, I would suggest, is a moot point. For example, this site, which contains some details on Beatles' motors, suggests that Paul popped his clogs in an Austin Healey - which is a new one on me and I have read a lot of theories! With regard to Pepper and its meanings and symbolism I suggest you read my excellent tome ' The Sgt. Pepper Code'.

Hi stevem, interesting post. According to this site the VW was sold at Sotheby's in 1986. Not sure I agree about LMW 281F being a private plate though. Harrison's Aston seems to have had the registration KMT 499C but most records claim it was silver.

It was realizing and accepting what "leaving clues in the past, from the future; book of the law" was all about. In 1967 The Beatles released Sgt Pepper, on the cover of which we see Diana Dors - in a gold dress - standing next to a palm tree. D'or in French = gold, palm in French = palme. In 1987 George Martin releases a documentary about Pepper called 'It was twenty years ago today' for which he won a Palme D'or award.

ATL = Atlantis? " Atlantis" is a folk-pop song written and recorded by British singer/songwriter Donovan...Many believe that the song "Atlantis" features the background vocals of Paul McCartney. Backing up that claim is Harry Castleman and Walter Podrazik's book, All Together Now: The First Complete Beatles Discography, 1961—1975 (New York: Ballantine Books, 1976, p. 384), which states that McCartney not only provided the background vocals but also played the tambourine on the song.

Carey is on the album cover, you can see his shoulder next to George's head. The cutout is a from a frame from Kubrick's film The Killing. He's hiding behind George, with his rifle pointing at John. The rifle is hidden behind Issy Bonn. In the film he shoots a racehorse. The Latin name for walrus is Odobenus Rosmarus, which means (tooth-walking) horse of the sea. Red Rum was a famous racehorse in the '70s. Wendy reads Catcher In The Rye at the beginning of The Shining(1980), in which Danny foresees bloodshed. Stephen King named his book after Lennon's song Instant Karma, with its line "We all shine on, like the moon and the stars and the sun." Redrum needs to be mirrored in order to be deciphered. The L and H in Lonely Hearts alphanumerically represent 12 and 8, or 12/8, the day Lennon was shot. Thank you Fishdelusions and Linus, this thread has reminded me to revisit an, as yet, unpublished blog piece. It concerns Issy Bonn and discovering that he was another Sgt. Pepper mason. Chelsea Lodge #3098 is a lodge designed specifically for actors, musicians and entertainers. In the Sgt. Pepper Code I speculated that Bonn's hand above Paul's head, rather than being a symbol of death, was in fact the Master Mason's hand or the hand of the philosopher that is extended to those who enter into the mysteries. The hand represents an invitation to join an elite group, those who were said to guard the secret wisdom of all the ages. Given that we now know that Bonn was a mason maybe Bonn represents Hiram Abiff and Carey one of his killers. It could therefore be a visual representation of the murder of the master mason. With the death of the master mason all his secrets die with him. Maybe Pepper is designed to represent some of this hidden wisdom?

Pepper time: the band begins at ten to six It is difficult to know where to start with these awesome posts; I guess with some preliminary thoughts: I love the fact that you have made something from the Ringo Rotogravure clue; it has bugged me for years that I couldn’t find anything. Let’s stick with the ‘backdoor’ theme. The lyrics from ‘She’s Leaving Home’, which begin with “Wednesday morning at five o’clock…” another time reference, also contain the line “quietly turning the backdoor key.” Is the RAOB character holding a key? issuu.com/redweltrabant/docs/the_sgt_pepper_code/c/sc4yhwv If Lewis Carroll is the key to the temple door then what is at the back of the door (Dors) is the 'door keeper'. The Beatles door keeper was Neil Aspinall, however, originally Apollo – the urban spaceman - was Paul. Diana Dors, like the waxwork Beatles, came from Madame Tussauds, which is, of course, a House of Wax. Madame Tussauds in London also houses the planetarium and its domed roof features a planetary symbol that brings to mind the Rugby trophy featured on the Pepper cover. It is located on the Marylebone Road which is very close to where Paul lived when he resided with the Asher’s on Wimpole Street. Madame Tussaud was experienced at making death masks. Hidden in the yard underneath the wall buried deep below A Thousand Layers...lay the answer to it all.This is just pure stream of consciousness, random thought stuff but, my first thought when I read Yard, was Scotland Yard; home of the Metropolitan Police (Robert Peel – founder of the Met – appears on the Pepper cover) and somewhere that secrets may be stored. The original home was called Great Scotland Yard where, buried deep below, is an unfinished, or abandoned, tunnel. From Wiki; Great Scotland Yard is best known as the location of the rear entrance to the original headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Service of London. It is a back door! The duchess of Kircaldy always smiling And arriving late for tea The duke was having problems With a message At The Local bird and beeKirkcaldy is in Scotland. This site tells an interesting tale about the origin of the lyrics; John Lennon is said to have named the imaginary “Duchess of Kirkcaldy” from the Beatles Song ‘Cry, Baby Cry’ after the wife of the concert organiser.
He was rumoured to have visited Fife on several occasions to stay with the woman, whose name is not known.Not quite sure where that gets us but the concert was in 1963. Maybe it is a reference to someone who knows the truth? However, the lyric "It's time for tea and Meet the Wife", which links both tea and time, comes from another Pepper song, ‘Good morning, good morning’. Alternatively, back door could refer to the back cover of Pepper and tea time could be another Alice in Wonderland clue: Chapter Seven – A Mad Tea-PartyAlice finds the March Hare, the Hatter, and the Dormouse sitting all together at one end of a large table. The Dormouse sits between the other two, fast asleep. They are disagreeable from the start, and Alice's conversation with them is confusing even by Wonderland standards. They contradict Alice at every turn, correcting her with confusing arguments that have their own strange logic. Much of the conversation is about time. The Hatter's watch, which only tells the day of the month, is broken. The Hatter also tells Alice that Time (which he talks about as if it were a person) stopped working for him about a month ago, when the Queen of Hearts accused the Hatter of murdering the time. Since then, it's always been six o'clock, which is why they sit at tea all the time. All the places at the table are set, because they don't have time to do the dishes. When they want a clean plate, they just move to another spot.
The Dormouse begins to tell a strange story about three sisters who live in a well; Alice's questions and contradictions anger the Dormouse, and the Hatter and March Hare grow increasingly rude to her. Finally, Alice leaves, disgusted, turning around as she goes to see the Hatter and the Hare trying to stuff the Dormouse into a pot of tea.
Alice wanders in the woods until she finds a tree with a door in it. She goes inside, and finds herself in the long hallway again. This time, she's prepared: she takes the key from the table and unlocks the door to the garden. She then eats just enough mushroom to step through the door, and she finds herself in the lovely garden.The characters give Alice many riddles and stories, including the famous 'Why is a raven like a writing desk?'. Could this be a Poe clue? This photo implies that Poe was the first character set-up; therefore implying he is central. The Mad tea party is also reminiscent of the 1968 Mad day out photo shoot which culminated at Paul’s house with a shot of Paul’s domed meditation centre in his garden; the same garden that contains numerous Alice in Wonderland figurines. On the back cover whose back do we see? Paul’s. Overlaid are the lyrics to ‘Within you, without you’, which as Fishdelusions said; really felt like a key to Sgt. Pepper. In the Sgt Pepper Code I speculate that the lyrics to this song contain what I call ‘The Y Code’; issuu.com/redweltrabant/docs/the_sgt_pepper_code/c/sc4wthp which emanate again from the lyrics to ‘She’s leaving home’. To reveal the code we must examine the lyrics to the song ‘She's Leaving Home’.
Firstly, take a pencil and paper and, starting at the beginning of the song lyrics, search for the letter Y. If you then go back three letters from each Y, and jot down the letter, you will reveal a hidden code.
Example: "Wedne(s)daY morning at five o'clock as th(e) daY begins. Sile(n)tlY closing her bedroom door. Leaving the note that she hoped woul(d) saY more. She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief. Qui(e)tlY turning the backdoor(r) keY".Applying this code reveals the phrase: SENDER MARY, which is pretty ambiguous except perhaps it points back to Marie Magdalene Dietrich. Marie being Mary and Dietrich being German for skeleton key. Just random thoughts though, need more time to consider all of this.

Silverbeatle is right, this did come out during Lennon's 'lost weekend' period in the Seventies and Polanski was certainly on the scene when it was arranged that Lennon should meet Yoko, incidentally at precisely the moment McCartney was out of the country, or was busy dying depending on your point of view - November 9, 1966. Polanski and co were involved in paedophilia whilst both Manson and the Process Church (which is who I assume you mean) were into mind-control so that they could get their 'followers' do to their dirty work for them: Delta programming. Yoko, given her previous incaceration in a mental hospital, would appear to be prime handler material and would have been subject to Beta programming in much the same way as Mia Farrow depicts in Roman Polanski's Dakota based movie, Rosemary's Baby. What exactly was Polanski's fault we will probably never know, but my guess is that it involves Monarch Mind Control Programming somewhere. Paul McCartney was not sacrificed by Manson though.

Is there a way to dig up old posts from years ago ? I'd like to reread any posts from someone who posted a handful of times years ago. His forum name was Big GM. He didn't stay around long, and I think he may have deleted his own posts ? Whispers were that he was George Martin. The same goes for posts from Apollo C Vermouth. He had some dandy posts way back when. It was thought he was Neil Aspinall. Is there any way to unearth either of their writings ? I think I remember you saying that you had some private PM's from ACV. Is there any way you'd consider sharing them ? Thank you kindly jojo. JoJo may be able to help with Big GM, I haven't heard of this poster myself, but I can help with Apollo C Vermouth. I did a big blog piece on this poster that you can find HERE that collates as much of his/her musings as I could collate. Of course dear Lucy / iameye is the expert on all things Apollo, however, I don't IMAGINE she will be sharing!

A tiny garden gnome that appeared on the cover of the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's album and was signed by all four band member has sold for £29,000. The cardboard gnome featured alongside a host of celebrities and historic figures including actress Diana Dors, singer Bob Dylan and actor Marlon Brando on the psychedelic cover of the ground-breaking 1967 album. In total more than 60 celebrities appear on the famous cover including the Fab Four themselves - but because it would have been impossible to get all of them in a room together, waxworks and cardboard cutouts were used instead.

Just to come back on the Roger Easterby thing; I am not saying the people in the photographs are the same people, or that this was the guy that wrote the liner notes for Billy Pepper but, suppose it is. Here we have a guy who became, at some point, a press officer for CBS, so penning liner notes would be exactly the type of thing a bright, up and coming young buck might do to get a name in the industry. In time he gets opportunities elsewhere which include promoting and producing other bands. Let us consider then what Pickwick Records was, it existed to knock out compilation records of cover versions of other people’s hits. It was a parasitical organisation that existed to exploit the talents of others for a quick profit. To do this they used session musicians, including, apparently, Lou Reed and John Cale. I have found an interesting quote from a guy called Alan Crawford who ran Pickwick Records. Here he is talking about the production of a series of Seventies compilations called ‘Top of the Pops’, named after the famous TV show of the time, which the BBC had neglected to trademark, and which my fellow UK based posters of a certain age will no doubt remember. For this ‘Top of the Pops’ series they utilised the talents of musicians like Elton John and Trevor Horn. "We ended up with a system, it was like a railway station, with trombone players, violin players arriving. We were doing one hit copy every twenty- three minutes.
My favourite singer of them all was a man called Ross Macmanus, father of Elvis Costello, who was Joe Loss’s main vocalist, and he used to always be there recording for me. Whenever we did Elvis Presley’s numbers, he was magnificent and better than Presley. Presley often used to sing off key - I don’t know why he was such a worldwide success, because he was not very good in my opinion".So, returning to Roger Easterby, the following quote from a biography on Chicory Tip explains more on how the system then worked. ….But it got them noticed and the fourth single, "I Love Onions", was expected to do better. The song had just been released on November 5th 1971 when all promotion was stopped because producer Roger Easterby, who was in charge of their productions with Des Champ for their whole career, was given a copy of Giorgio Moroder's version of a song called "Son Of My Father." Giorgio was a German singer-producer who had written the music to the song and his partner Pete Bellotte wrote English lyrics to it. It was a German hit record by Michael Holm (who wrote the German lyrics for the song called "Nachts Scheint Die Sonne." Easterby was a record plugger at the time and decided that he wanted his band to record the song and get it out as a single before Giorgio's version got up a head of steam.
Back then anyone could cover a song as long as it had already been played on the radio in the UK, so he took it along to his local station, got it played, and then set to work getting Chicory Tip in the studio to record it. It was such a secretive operation that he daren't even get a copy of the proper lyrics. Instead they jotted down what they thought were the words - they were ALMOST right! - and away they went….
…The single was recorded in George Martin's own studio, Air Studios. George was probably the most famous producer in the world having worked with The Beatles and produced some of the best work ever to come out of a studio in the 1960s, so when he arrived at the session to give his verdict on "Son Of My Father" his actual words were "It smells like a hit to me!"Chicory Tip "Son Of My Father" www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YaND4j2ePQAs an aside, but perhaps of greater interest – to me anyway – is that Alan Crawford, the guy that owned Pickwick Records, also jointly owned the pirate radio station Radio Caroline. I am working on a separate blog piece on Caroline, however, there is tentative, but thus far unsubstantiated, evidence that some of its funding came from the CIA as part of its Gray Broadcasting programme as part of a, not unsuccessful, attempt to Americanise the UK. However, the ramifications are that if you find a record you think will be a hit you can simply play it on your own radio station and that then entitles you to produce a cover version from your own studios! A literal licence to print money and, most likely, the origin of the Merseymania record. Billy Pepper and the Pepperpots were a simple exercise in exploiting a situation for profit and their only connection, ultimately, with The Beatles comes via the coincidental involvement of a guy called Bill Shepherd.

I would aver that the sleeve notes of "Merseymania" was written under a pseudonym "Roger Easterby".....Easter Bunny springs to mind! These type of LPs, as they were called in those days, did not sell very well; who wants a cover by unknowns when you can have the real thing? I've thought all along that Billy Pepper/Shepherd/Shears was a studio musician/sometime songwriter (many of the "Lennon/McCartney" songs in my opinion were penned by others; faceless people behind the scenes who were contracted to write songs and waived the right to the royalties). I think this man was working for EMI as a session musician and his similarity to JPM had been noticed. It is obvious that is where "Sgt Pepper" came from. \\\ I am not so convinced that Roger Easterby is a pseudonym. There is a Roger Easterby who worked with bands such as Vanity Fair and Chicory Tip and who was a press officer for CBS. Clearly this is not proof that they are the same but I wouldn't mind betting they are. However, this guy is on Twitter; why doesn't somebody ask him what he can remember about Billy Pepper and the Pepperpots. P.S. The Bill Shepherd in the YouTube video is not the same guy as guitargaz's father; the video is from 2011 and 'our' Bill Shepherd was dead a long time before that.

My initial disappointment is that although you mentioned Alice in Wonderland you missed the opportunity to discuss Lewis Carroll. Member of the Society for Psychical Research. A list of other members gives me the WOW factor. Three that stand out for me from Lewis Carroll's era are: Camille Flammarion Sir Oliver Lodge and Arthur Balfour - WWI Prime Minister and author of the Balfour Declaration. The most incredible document ever written by a government representative. In it one nation promised another yet non-existent nation a territory which it did not yet possess. And it has caused trouble ever since. Thanks Roscoe, I await your feedback: I also explore Lewis Carroll and the Alice theme here, however there are bound to be bits I have missed and I would appreciate your comments. I will look into the above and would appreciate any additional input on Carroll's role within the Society for Psychical Research.
