There is a book called "Yesterday: the Beatles Once Upon a Time" by Astrid Kirchherr that has photos of the Beatles through 1964. Almost all the pics have been distorted. Almost all have been compressed from the sides to make the people look narrower.
It is frustrating to deal w/ all the photo-tampering from "official" sources.

I have one of the "Beatles Unseen Archives" photo books published in 2003.
There were at least 5 editions of this book and I don't know what the
difference is or why most of them were published with the same cover and
look identical to each other yet have different ISBN numbers.
My copy has the photos arranged by year from 1964 to 71 but the photos
in the critical 1966-67 sections are not much help in showing the change-over
due to all the facial hair and the poor photos chosen for those chapters.
It's like there's a conspiracy or something. ;D

Linda and Paul McCartney not as happy as they seemed? www.gossiprocks.com/forum/gossip-archive/29414-linda-paul-mccartney-not-happy-they-seemed.html... Although he found Paul (sic) charming and charismatic, Mr Cox claimed the star had 'a darker side and could be very controlling... "Also on that walk, he kept talking about John Lennon in the present tense. It was John says this and John thinks that. Very weird. And he spoke about that reference to The Beatles being more famous than Jesus. He said, 'Do you realise how much power we could have had if we'd gone to the dark side?' ... Mr Cox admitted: "I didn't warm to Paul. There was an awful coldness about him. His eyes were deader than any I had ever seen... For all his wealth and celebrity, Mr Cox asserts that Paul was 'frustrated'. Even Linda, he says, referred to him as 'such a frustrated man', though enigmatically she didn't say why... "I said, 'I have been waiting for hours Paul,' and he replied that he was Paul McCartney and not to forget it. "I said, 'I know you are, Paul. There's only ever one Paul McCartney, isn't there?' ... |

Interesting MSM piece on the Beatles' "Hard Days Night" Behind the Camera with the Beatles
"The scene in the movie that was in the theater was aping a theater concert
basically and it was pretty easy to shoot because all you needed to do was
get them to play and then point the cameras on the audience who were just
hysterical. Slowly the theater began to smell of urine because that's what
young Beatles fans did -- they peed themselves. It was extraordinary. They
were totally and utterly out of control."

Albert Goldman in "The Lives of John Lennon" (1988) quotes someone telling of "puddles" of fluid often found on the chairs of girls in the audience at Beatles performances, afterwards.

Puddles of Fluid....sounds like a title of a new book written by fans who came of age during a Beatles' concert!

An amazing degree of influence they had over their fans.
I don't think any artist has quite equaled it since.

^ With that amount of influence, it's easy to see how nervous the Illuminati would be if the Beatles were not team players.

And, if Revolver was the last true Beatles album, then I guess they weren'tteam players in that sense.  |

^ I know! I was just thinking about that yesterday. With the carbon tax, they want to tax the freaking air we breathe. It really IS as bad as in the song.

Yes, a brilliant song. I've also read about plans to turn all USA roads into toll
roads and tax people by the mileage they drive. Just like in the song ...
----------------------------------------------------
Taxman
Let me tell you how it will be;
There's one for you, nineteen for me.
'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all.
'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
(if you drive a car, car;) - I’ll tax the street;
(if you try to sit, sit;) - I’ll tax your seat;
(if you get too cold, cold;) - I’ll tax the heat;
(if you take a walk, walk;) - I'll tax your feet.
Taxman!
'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
Don't ask me what I want it for, (ah-ah, mister Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more. (ah-ah, mister Heath)
'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
Now my advice for those who die, (taxman)
Declare the pennies on your eyes. (taxman)
'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
And you're working for no one but me.
Taxman!

Later Fohn said that George asked him to help him write the song because
George had never written a song before (another idiotic statement from Fohn).

^ LOL! Well, why would Fohn know about "Don't Bother Me" & the songs on Help! & Rubber Soul? It's not like he was there or anything when the real Beatles recorded them.
