Having now had the chance to listen I did find it interesting. More so in the angle they took about people's desire to believe in fairy stories and the whole changeling thing. There was no way a 'serious' media outlet like Radio 4 was going to endorse anything like PID and it was useful to hear more from the likes of Russ Gibb and Fred LaBour but what suprised me was that they must have sought permissions from Apple and EMI for the Beatles music and so, presumably, had to explain what the show was about. Another example of Beatles channels giving tacit approval to PID/PWR.

September 11th, 1969The PID story broke in America: 'Is Beatle Paul McCartney Dead?' appeared in the student newpaper The Drake-Times Delphic at Drake University, Ohio on 17th September. Its source, according to the Memoirs of Billy Shears was: Does that check out? According to Turn Me on Dead Man by Andru Reeve, (2004), the story came from a struggling musician Mr D. Brown, who was holding a party at his home on Friday September 12th, where he heard the story some girl had told him. He shortly after told the sports editor Mr Tim Harper and so it was published. That's the very first PID document in print! Can anyone clarify this?
Hi Astro4, The accepted story is that the rumour broke via Drake University through Dart Brown, though I do not believe he has ever colloborated it. I did email him but received no response. Perhaps you could try? dartanyan@dartanyan.com

maxedison, sadly most of the posts are cryptic, or in the form of riddles, that just seems to be the nature of the beast.
My only advice would be to use the search function and search for Apollo C Vermouth - and I guess you have already done that.
I believe many of his posts were deleted. A lot were in the form of personal messages to forum posters and, of course, it would be up to those that remain to decide if they wish to share. There does remain a fair number of posts though.
Good luck.

"If one was to grasp the totality of this subject matter, a simple answer emerges. The beauty of the Beatles, pre and post '66, is that EVERYTHING is as it should be. No mere happenstance. But, amongst the creation is chaos. THAT chaos, is what has brought you all here in the first place. In the early days, the die was cast. As time crept along, and popularity increased, there were not many musicians that would not fancy a play with the band. There are many talented bassist. On Pepper, it is mainly Paul. When not available, and there was a time he was not, K----(my omission) could fill the shoes (if you know what I mean). John was quite able to fill in, as was George. We were never in want of a good bass player. Just where one stops and another begins is left to the beholder." Apollo This is fascinating Ramone, thanks for this. I wasn't a member during Apollo's tenure, which is a shame, but the quality and diversity of his posts leads me to believe he did have the key. Reverse engineering it from 10 years later is tricky, but I hope not impossible.

Beacon, I have written so much about "Mary" - have you looked? That's exactly what I was referring to when I told you the answers you are looking for are RIGHT HERE. ok? Here's a new lead question that may help: How can a man older than myself be my Son? Yet, it's true. ps, if anyone sees my kid today, PLEASE tell him to come home because I really, really miss him. Am I seriously the only one who knows that answer? lol Presumably you are beatlas231, why don't you enlighten us with your answer?

Ok, my take is this; 'Sing a song of sixpence' was a CODED message to entice pirates to join up with Blackbeard's ship. 'Cry Baby Cry' has a lyrical style similar to that of 'Sing a song of sixpence' therefore Apollo was urging us to see 'Cry Baby Cry' also as a CODED message. The outro to 'Cry Baby Cry' features the short 'Can you take me back?' segment written by McCartney. Apollo wants us to believe that McCartney, having left the band, is seeking to return. Obviously, that is just my opinion! As to Ballroom Dancing and Flowers in the dirt I've got nothing other than the obvious black carnation reference. What is your take Ramone and do you have any more ACV gems? I shall stick with my original hypothesis that this is a reference to hunting down the hidden, coded, meanings that lurk within Beatles material, be it solo or collectively. Well, we could take sixpence as it is if we want - a nursery rhyme. And that's fine. Or, it could be taken as something else. So, the above is beseeching us to look for the hidden meanings in ‘Sing a song of sixpence’; they are, as previously stated, that the song is a lure to mercenaries to join Blackbeards band of pirates. Hidden meanings about real kings or Blackbeards? Ringo had an album that was called Ringo the 4th and features him on the cover as a mock King – complete with black beard – with scantily clad model draped around his shoulders whilst wearing a dinner jacket and bow tie replete with sword and, intriguingly, a pentagram necklace and ring. The ring was given to Ringo by his then girlfriend Nancy Lee Andrews. The album features a song called ‘Wings’. The Beatle with Wings, of course, is McCartney who had previously written the song ‘Blackbird’. In the lyrics to the song ‘Blackbird’ they mention; Take these broken WINGS and learn to fly. Birds that suddenly pop out to sing for the masses. (and your bird can sing!) A lot of work for the purpose of entertaining. Thru money and rye these 'birds' were attracted into all this. In Sixpence the ‘birds’ are pirates that spring out of the (flaming) pie – the pirate ship – having lured other ships by appearing to be weak or disabled. A common way of doing this was by appearing to have a broken mainsail, therefore appearing to be a bird with broken wings. The analogy, presumably, being that the Beatles were principally influenced by money and drink (rye being whiskey), however, like Blackbeard’s pirates the Beatles were being exploited as others made the big money while the Beatles / pirates did the work and took the risks. Also, or possibly as an alternative, ‘Sixpence’ features a King and Queen, as does a chess board. Possibly this is an Alice in Wonderland style clue as Through the Looking Glass is a tale about Alice taking a journey based on the movements on a chess board. Things that are representational or possibly so. CBC - could we view the children as the Lads? the king as EMI/ G. Martin? the queen as? (take a guess - it's not hard) Here Apollo is referencing ‘Cry Baby Cry’ – which is lyrically influenced by ‘Sixpence’ – and implying that the Beatles are the children mentioned in the lyrics, the King represents the record company whilst the Queen is Epstein. The Duchess is Linda while the Duke of Kirkcaldy is Paul / Bill. I struggle with this interpretation. Lyrically, for me it would make more sense for the Queen to be John and Yoko as the King, however, following on from the Through the Looking Glass clue above, if we see the King as the record company and the Queen as artist management then we could draw a parallel between the King and Queen and the Walrus and the Carpenter. A particular stanza from the Walrus and the Carpenter reads; But four young Oysters hurried up, All eager for the treat: Their coats were brushed, their faces washed, Their shoes were clean and neat-- And this was odd, because, you know, They hadn't any feet.If we read the four young Oysters as being the Beatles then this could possibly be a reference to their treatment since achieving fame. They feel as though they have been eaten up. In the book the Walrus and the Carpenter poem is read to Alice by Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (who are mirror opposite twins – could they represent McCartney and his replacement?) who warn Alice that her curious nature could get her in trouble. In other words don’t ask questions about where your money is going. So, again - You could name an album or song or whatever anything. Ballroom Dancing Is a track from the McCartney album ‘Tug of War’, and it also appeared in the McCartney film ‘Give my regards to Broad Street’. The sessions for the ‘Tug of War’ album were suspended because of Lennon’s death. Presumably this is a specific reminder of the Ballroom Dancing scene in Magical Mystery Tour which links to ‘Your Mother should know’. In the ballroom scene McCartney was wearing a black carnation, was this because he was grieving for Tara Browne? Magical Mystery Tour is, like Alice’s Adventures, a journey and Apollo frequently reminded us that its purpose was to make us reconsider Sgt. Pepper. Is a McCartney album title that Apollo often referenced by making use of the Apollo and Hyacinthus myth and said that this was representative of McCartney and Tara Browne’s relationship. The literal flowers in the dirt on the Sgt. Pepper cover are hyacinths. Paul McCartney wrote both Blackbird and Jenny Wren (both songs about birds) and Lennon made the connection to ‘Sing a song of sixpence’ (Cry Baby Cry and Cleanup Time) in which both birds are mentioned in the nursery rhymes lyrics. McCartney said “It's not really about a blackbird whose wings are broken, you know, it's a bit more symbolic.” He claimed it is about race relations in America in the sixties. However, a song called ‘Bye, Bye Blackbird’ (a traditional standard about a prostitute's leaving the business and going back home to her mother) has been recorded by both Ringo on ‘Sentimental Journey’ and McCartney on ‘Kisses on the Bottom’. Written by McCartney, for the ballroom scene in Magical Mystery Tour, was inspired by a line from the play ‘A taste of honey’. Is this a reference to the Queen eating bread and honey in ‘Sixpence’? The recording session was the last one visited by Brian Epstein (Apollo’s Queen) before his death. Paul McCartney track on ‘Chaos and Creation in the Backyard’. Jenny Wren is also a character in Dickens’ ‘Our Mutual Friend’, a book often believed to be about rebirth and renewal. Just all mere coincidence? If not - why all this prompting to look back again? Ringo is pasted onto someone else on a particular album cover. As Klaatu on Goodnight Vienna: Klaatu, an alien, assumes the identity of a Mr Carpenter He wasn't too obvious was he? (hint - pic to your left) All just fun? Serious? A little of both? Jumpstart the subtle beat of a dialogue? Or keep it going if it's there? My take is that Apollo is spinning a narrative that suggests that McCartney quit the band before, at some point, returning. During this absence there were McCartney replacements. He implies that the story can be revealed by decoding the hidden meanings contained within Sgt. Pepper - nothing you can see that isn't shown – just as the clues above can be decoded, but, after many years trying I still cannot extract any EVIDENCE of this. Ok, there are two McCartney’s on the cover, but there are two of all the Beatles.

Hi, I would imagine most of those letters might remain private. But, here's something to chew on - ACV encouraged: look into the hidden meanings of "Sixpence." apply to 'Cry Baby Cry'. And: 'One of the first video clues presented to the masses was in the form of the "Ballroom Dancing" portion of MMT. Aired on BBC television. In 'black and white," no less.' Does Ballroom Dancing and, say, Flowers in the Dirt call to mind anything? Ok, my take is this; 'Sing a song of sixpence' was a CODED message to entice pirates to join up with Blackbeard's ship. 'Cry Baby Cry' has a lyrical style similar to that of 'Sing a song of sixpence' therefore Apollo was urging us to see 'Cry Baby Cry' also as a CODED message. The outro to 'Cry Baby Cry' features the short 'Can you take me back?' segment written by McCartney. Apollo wants us to believe that McCartney, having left the band, is seeking to return.

I take it Beacon that 'Let's Pretend' games notwithstanding, that it's now firmly established that MH is the "culprit"? I'd just hope he's a bit more relaxed about that being known now as I wouldn't want to be suspected of 'being on his tail', if you know what I mean. That is my sincerely held belief and all my research backs that up, though, I cannot confirm it categorically. Mike NL denies it is MH, and to be fair he would know better than I, but I think he doth protest too much.

I have thought of making direct contact with IAAP a few times to advance a media plan, I must admit. I think I could actually take this to the mainstream without lawyers but that's easy for me to say as I would have zero personal risk. Well Iamaphoney / Billy Martin is actually Martin Heurlin who still has a day job; My name is Martin Heurlin and I plan on TV productions company Group. I stand for casting a Car program on national geographic. I am looking for one person who knows someone who has an old car (pre-1985) standing in the garage that can not run. Maybe because he can not afford or just abandoned. We make a TV program for national geographic will help the person to have made the car running. Here are some examples of programs: natgeotv.com/uk/car-sos/videos It is important that the person who has the car does not know anything about it then it must be a surprise, but you can look at the examples I sent to you. It is also very important to both the nominator and nominee speaks a little English. Best regards, Martin Heurlin Write to: EMAIL: mh@koncern.dkSo, he may well appreciate the money and assistance. Seriously though you could try iamaphoney@gmail.com or speaking to MikeNL, otherwise, in my experience, you wait for the man to come to you.

I think it is an interesting question. I have no legal background but my thought would be that if IAAP uses a reversed Beatle recording that would constitute a copyright infringment, but if he used his own 'cover' version and reversed that he may be able circumnavigate any copyright issues.
I can't believe that McCartney would allow anyone to make money from the back of Beatles recordings other than himself. Getting away with things on YouTube is one thing but publishing, and making money from, materials via iTunes is another. i wonder if there is a way to find out about royalty payments from iTunes?

Ok Delysid, we are in agreement, I think.
Question: Whatever the reality, or not, of the Revelation 'cease and desist', what is the legal situation regarding IAAP's use of reversed Beatle material? Would this not represent a copyright infringement?

While I enjoy Beacon's blogs and agree on excellence, he also has that familiar PID quirk of needing to throw in an overegged pudding along with tight research. I note that in different blogs he 'thinks it's funny' that iamaphoney hasn't received a desist from Apple. Then later he 'thinks it's funny' that he (allegedly) DID get one, preventing the supposed ReveaAtion. Well you can try to have it both ways but don't be surprised when someone, in this case me, calls 'ARSE!' As I said elsewhere on the subject, iamaphoney is also trying to have it both ways. When he was in 'deep cover' and faceless, I could dig (as, let;s face it, we all did) that this was at the very least a delicious meal he'd cooked. The Revelation is then nothing more than the end of that and the beginning of the (Mike Yarwood style) 'And this is ME' phase which again is cool as he can take the credit in person and we all buy the album as a perfect desert to 'Winged Beetle' Unfortunately what he did and is still doing is mixing desert in with dinner and pretty soon not even the dog will have it even if it IS presented in a nice set of suitcases. Thank you for your comments, I am glad you enjoy my blog. Whilst I may well be an arse, I do feel I can have it both ways in this one instance. My intent in making the points about Iamaphoney and the 'cease and desists' was this. The main bulk of his work fails to attract any copyright issues from either Apple or EMI, thus fueling the insider claims, however, he claims that the 'Revelation' was stopped in its tracks by a 'cease and desist' order. The Revelation was never officially released, therefore, to have received one he would have had to of attempted to get advance permission from Apple / EMI / whoever. Now I am no legal expert, but, would something that is not in the public domain attract a 'cease and desist'? I don't know. Why would you even attempt to get permission? Surely you would just release, even if YouTube block it within hours. In my blog I have tried to investigate a tentative link between IAAP and Neil Aspinall's Standby Films, however, it is very tentative and I certainly wouldn't claim it to be proof. Since then IAAP, or Billy Martin, has latched onto this and updated their LinkedIn profile, cryptically, to seem to suggest my assertion is true. Likewise MikeNL also used the Standby Films motif in his Billy Martin interview. Now maybe Mike can add something to this, but it sets my bs sensors twitching. Maybe IAAP likes the tacit authentication my blog infers, but maybe my assertion is completely wrong? Maybe Standby Films was nothing but a tax-dodge for Aspinall. In Mike's Billy and Me interview Billy Martin certainly implies that there has been inside help. From Aspinall in obtaining footage, interviews, photographs, possibly finance and, if it is true, in obtaining Mal Evan's long lost manuscript, and now from McCartney himself. Again this sets the bs sensors off. The project seems to have gone from an outright Paul is Dead theme to, what is now, a claimed, musical collaboration with McCartney. However, if IAAP is an inside job, it seems to run counter-clockwise to the claims made on this forum by Apollo C Vermouth (rumoured, of course, to have been Aspinall) who repeatedly stated that everything points back to Pepper and that the answer to the riddle was a relatively simple one. Whatever Iamaphoney is, it is anything but simple. So why the seemingly differing viewpoints if both projects are Apple approved? Maybe Apollo C Vermouth was not Aspinall? - Lucy / Iameye / Iwill wanna help me out here? - Maybe Aspinall had nothing to do with IAAP? Maybe IAAP is nothing more than a means by McCartney to re-write Beatle history in his favour? Maybe it's a complex marketing scheme / scam? Maybe it is all part of our Tavistockian mind-control conditioning? My answer seems to have become quite long and winding, however, the one thing I am consistent with in all my work is that I don't have the answers, I merely seek them. Welcome aboard Delysid and I hope you can help us get to the bottom of all this but, I can have it both ways about the 'cease and desists'!!

Interesting B, thanks. I've seen the movie, and yes it is eerie in the sense you could believe this was really Lennon hiding somewhere all these years. It's funny, because they hit that part on the head, but as a whole it comes across as an amateur video. Which is the premise I know, but.. Our friend Apollo used to say "think Canada" on more than one occasion.. (regarding where someone went, whoever that was) JoJo, can you elaborate on the Apollo Canada references, or where these amongst the posts that he deleted?

Finally, we need to make a ruckus even without the PID overtones, with people on regular Beatles sites, to agitate to get ALL PAGES (all pages) of Mal's diary released, in original form. This is the true "Beatles Bible". The diary pages were never shown and only tiny excerpts given. Where is the fan outcry? Use social media, etc. Our goal are the Paul death references, but if "neutral" agitation is big enough, we could get shots of the pages. Transcriptions will not do, for our purposes. This document should be studied by Beatles scholars. Put that out: we want to see it, all of it. (Don't announce your PID aspirations.) xo ;;;;;;;;;;; Clare, as much as I would love to see the Mal Evans diary/book, to whom exactly would we appeal for its release? If the screenshots for the IAAP video's are genuine then we should assume that Mal's manuscript now resides with either/or Apple or McCartney. In Billy and Me, Billy Martin alludes to having read it so someone on the 'inside' must have given him access. Either way, if they wanted the book released you have to think that it would have happened by now. My guess is that Mal may make claims as to how much Beatle material he actually contributed to, and therefore, it has been supressed for this reason rather than any overt PID clues. Alternatively, as I wrote here, if the 'they did a good job in Nairobi' comments allude to PID, or trepanation, or something else, why doesn't he explicitly spell this out rather than make subtle hints? We have to consider then that the document is possibly a fake. I would be more than happy to assist with a social media campaign but who would we direct it at?

Just a bump as today is the 45th anniversary of the Abbey Road photo-shoot. This other idea of Paul Is Dead. That was on for a while. I had just turned up at a photo session and it was at the time when Linda and I were just beginning to knock around with each other steadily. It was a hot day in London, a really nice hot day, and I think I wore sandals. I only had to walk around the corner to the crossing because I lived pretty nearby. I had me sandals on and for the photo session I thought I'd take my sandals off.
Linda: No, you were barefoot.
Oh, I was barefoot. Yeah, that's it. You know, so what? Barefoot, nice warm day, I didn't feel like wearing shoes. So I went around to the photo session and showed me bare feet. Of course when that came out and people start looking at it they say "Why has he got no shoes on? He's never done that before." OK, you've never seen me do it before, but in actual fact, it's just me with my shoes off. Turns out to be some old Mafia sign of death or something. LINK
