Did Paul get taller after 1966? Maybe in sgt Pepper, but you can't see his entire body there. You can on Abbey Road, where he's the same height as John and George.

My opinion is Paul was always a bit taller than George, and a bit more taller than John. And if there's a Faul, he's the same height of Paul.

Maybe that's why he was barefoot on Abbey Road - to make his height increase less noticeable relative to the other Beatles.

Hey Flaming Pie,
It's me again! Faul "appears" to be the same height as the others on Abbey Road, but I think he is not exactly in-line with the others, just a little further away from the camera.
Plus, that photo has definitely been doctored-up.
His jawline appears to have been airbrushed with a gray tone to sculpture its appearance more like Paul.
It may appear at times Faul is Paul's height, but that's just Faul being the clever master of disguise that he is.
The "Hey Jude" cover where Faul is standing on the uneven stone surface, slightly slouching & leaning inward.
I also think there's something funny going on with George's boots. It seems like he's standing on his tiptoes inside of some type of modified boot.
By the way, just look at Faul's face and wrong-sided hair part, hair color & texture (too straight). Could this really be Paul?
Look how tall and skinny Faul is on the trip to Africa.
Could this be Paul?
If anyone has the 2 "Day In The Life" stills from that "other" board, where he is standing with a group of people including George Martin, and the other one where he is dwarfing George Harrison (wow).
I have these pix saved on a diskette. If I could e-mail them to one of y'all (I'm from Texas, remember?), would someone post them? Talk to y'all later...

Speaking of height, what do you guys think of this pic, from the anthology book?  |

LOL. Paul's standing higher up on the deck, and on the tide. Not surprised that's the sort pic found in Anthology

One weird thing I found when I was researching the height issue is that during 1966 there are lots of photos of the guys standing in a line, clearly showing their height to be round about the same. However, after 1966 I can't find one single picture of them in the same pose. If there are Beatles standing together then Paul is never with them. If there's the four of them Paul is sitting, or crouching, or standing away etc. Tis weird!

Yes, I concur, how many pictures like this one have we seen, where the comparative heights are quite obvious.  Now this one always bugged me in the back of my mind for some reason. I don't know, but it doesn't look "natural" somehow, like all concerned are not quite standing where they should be. A book I read a little bit about called I believe "The Art of Photo Fakery" mentions looking for artifacts from the old picture when you suspect a part of one picture has been "lifted" and placed on another. And we are talking very much pre-Photoshop days. I wonder about the black line framing John's left arm. (our right) This photo was taken on 5-11-67, when they were leaving to announce the formation of Apple. The guy with the beard is the head of Apple electronics, Magic Alex, and it doesn't say, but the guy on the right may be Mal. (?) (btw, the hair part isn't where it used to be...)  A much larger version if you wish to study in greater detail: www.jojoplace.org/Shoebox/Height/Airport5_11_67large.jpg |

Yea, in that pic Paul is looking taller than John to begin with, but then you look at the feet and see that Paul is standing closer to the camera and so, from the angle of the camera make him out to be roughly the same height. If they standed next to each other I reckon Paul would look really tall next to John.

Speaking of height, what do you guys think of this pic, from the anthology book? Who is that girl with Paul? I don't think that's Jane. This girl was in The Beatle First US Visit for a brief moment. |

It is Jane. But forget about height, look at how he was built. Looks like the same guy from the Kenya photos to me.

The only shot that shows his full body along with a few frames after and before is this one:  Kinda far away, and no frame of reference, there's no one familiar standing next to him. The Kenya shot shows someone who looks pretty thin and maybe too tall, but that's hard to determine. This guy doesn't look much like the above pic from Anthology much at all.  The stills and thread again, if you wish: invanddis.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1079243829 |

What happened to the stills we posted showing Sir Faul towering over a poor, seemingly Keebler-elf sized George during the video for "A Day In The Life"?
I haven't been posting lately, but it seems strange to me that the difference in height is still being debated.
Faul isn't Paul. After seeing the pix (especially the undoctored, unairbrushed ones) from the Sgt Pepper's session, who can say they think this is James Paul?
Look at his chin. Look at his nose. Look at his hairline. Look at the size of his head and forehead. Look at his skin color. This is a different guy!
And why have the frames from the Day in the Life video disappeared?

I don't know, maybe it's buried in a thread somewhere. Or perhaps the original poster (it wasn't me) decided to delete it for whatever reason, who knows? I know what you're talking about, I'll grab that frame and post it when i have a chance. No worries...  Edited to add: Do you mean the pic from this thread? (that you started) invanddis.proboards29.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=TAR&thread=1081392761&start=0 I guess maybe you mean something else, or did you miss it? |

It is Jane. But forget about height, look at how he was built. Looks like the same guy from the Kenya photos to me. It's not Jane Asher. I'm not sure who it is but it's not Jane. She's too skinny to be Jane. Her face looks different than Jane's. It's somebody else. Look at these pics of Jane. www.jibboo.com/beatles/wives/janepics.htm |

I don't know. She looks too small to be Jane and she doesn't look like her facially. It looks like the same woman on the train with Paul in The Beatles First US Visit film and she didn't look like Jane in that scene either.

It just seems to me that there's something mighty weird about that pic. Paul looks too big & whoever-she-is looks too small. But it IS from Anthology, so...... This pic is from The Beatles Files book. Jane's a step behind him, but still not as short as in the other pic.  |

You see what I mean? You see the same thing as I do eyesbleed! She's too small and her face looks different.

It's just a weird looking pic! To me it looks like Paul was enlarged & pasted back on, & she was shrunk & pasted back on. Everything looks wrong about that pic on the boat. Back to height in general... these pics aren't full-body pics, but they are good, so I'll post'em anyway. From The Beatles Files book....   |

Great pics!
Regarding the girl again, it's not just her size but also her stature too. She looks too thin and boney to be Jane....

Okay, here is Flaming Pie's pic which was posted earlier and in the pic is supposed to be Jane. This picture I presume was taken in February of 1964, in Miami, when the Beatles were making their second Ed Sullivan appearance at the Doville hotel. Like I have stated before, I don't believe that is Jane Asher in the pic with Paul. Speaking of height, what do you guys think of this pic, from the anthology book? Alright, now here is a still from The Beatles First US Visit when the Beatles were returning from their trip from Miami on the train. There's a woman seated next to Paul and looks 'with' him potentially. This woman could very possibly be the woman pictured above with Paul. Who she is is the question.    Any comments? |
