I think this roused discussion because of the implications of the whole thing. If the pic is Juber, it's Juber. Oh well. 'Nothing to be seen here - move along'. BUT, IF it's JPM (and it certainly looks like him) - It's mind blowing. One, he didn't die. It shows that. Two, No one seemed to think it wasn't Bill on the upright bass in the shot - so, it clearly shows there is a replacement (Bill is right there in the same room). Three, it would seem the two have a cordial relationship - one where JPM could drop by and, if not doing anything musically to speak of, was hanging out evidently. The pic was along the same lines as the Junk boat . There's Billy in the middle (and who can that be on the left - hmmm...) Can't remember if there was an absolute conclusion about it but it was the same questions that came up - and implications. And I wonder who the guy on the right (sitting next to a girl) is? There was tons of discussion of the boat photo here... invanddis.proboards.com/thread/5450/rare-photo-paul-faul...in which I suggested that the chap in the striped jacket was Derek Taylor with Paul's face attached in a crude bit of 1968 "Photoshop." Since then, I got the book (Denis O'Dell's "At the Apple's Core") which is the source for the story of the boat trip in the East River. The picture in question (the one above with "3 Pauls") is NOT in the O'Dell book, but the book DOES include a photo of Derek Taylor on the boat, sitting in THAT chair, with THAT hair style, THAT mustache, and wearing THAT striped jacket, which in the book's color photo is white with GREEN stripes. I'd post the photo of green-jacketed Derek, but I don't have a Photobucket or equivalent account, so you'll just have to take my word for it. Having said all of that, though, it still looks to me as if Paul's face has been stitched onto Derek's head, right along the left jawline, although it could also just be Derek, who after all, did have the same hair color/style and mustache as Pepper Paul.

Thanks so much! Immensely interesting. >> it still looks to me as if Paul's face has been stitched onto Derek's head, right along the left jawline. This.

THAT'S the color photo of Derek Taylor on the boat that I was referring to. Thanks for posting, Jarv! Ok, so now we have both photos in the same post, so it's much easier to compare Derek in the color pic to "Derek" in the black and white pic. Of course, the two Dereks are shot from different angles, but it looks to me as if Derek's jawline and nose in the color photo are much longer than they are in the black and white photo (even accounting for the different angle), while the cheekbones are much more prominent in the black and white photo, to the extent that it appears to me as if Paul's profile was attached to Derek's head in the black and white photo. In fact, the nose-cheek-chin area of black and white "Derek" looks like a mirror image of the gentleman on our far left, in the double breasted suit jacket... Without the context of the color photo of Derek, showing him occupying that chair and wearing that striped jacket, it NEVER would have occurred to me that it could could have been him, because it doesn't look like him. It looks like Paul.
