I don't know about Ringo, but George yes. The original John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison  The first Beatle doubles  1965 Rubber Soul (a soul that bounces back from death?) The Featles are standing over a grave (yours) as you (and the rest of humanity) are being buried alive. This album also contained their first narcotics-glorifying, "druggie"-type songs (e.g. "Nowhere Man" and "Girl"): www.jpgr.co.uk/pcs3075_a.jpg 1966 Revolver (a lethal weapon and musical vinyl record and revolving cast of imposters)---the central image of the surreal/druggie cover, by the german, Hamburg-days illustrator, is of the Featles slipping through an hourglass into a melted pool. 1967, May.... Sgt. Pepper cover The Featles 1 and 2 are standing over a grave (as per Derek Taylor's own admission, who called it "a grave" in a 1969 radio interview) of who? The grave of Humanity, of G-d? Both? "9-11 HE DIE" on mirrored drumskin.... 1968 "The Beatles"-titled album cover, empty whiteness, the death void 1969 (Thelema)-"Abbey Road"---"The funeral procession," hidden Adolf Hitler faces visible, a wrongly parked white Volkswagen (co-designed by Hitler) "Beetle" vehicle.... Good post. I still haven,t made up my mind about replacements prior to fame, but as usual leave it to the beatles to help try to clarify things. |

As "doc"/"perplexed" once posted in the NIR forum, "I'm seeing fauls, phauls, nauls..." of false Paul McCartneys in photos and videos prior to the big psychdelic switchover of autumn 1966. I suspect that prior to that "9-11 HE DIE" 1966 NewFeatles flip there was a "core" group of Featles, 1963-1966, that performed live and in the studio (with occasional add-on vocal impostering in the recording studio by non-Featles). But in this 1963-1966 period there were also "stand-in" Featles, e.g. the guy described once in a posting as the tiny "munchkin" Faul, who showed up for non-singing media appearances, interviews, and lip-synch film and video sessions such as this 1965 We Can Work It Out video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Our0ZsO7L68&feature=relatedNow compare the aboue Faul, Fohn, Feorge, Fringo with these actually-singing, live in concert Featles, 1966, at Budokan, Tokyo, Japan: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cj6zHzTumE&feature=relatedand at Shea Stadium , NYC 1965: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mUXwnEWEnE[youtube] www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mUXwnEWEnE[/youtube] |

^Munchkin Paul, lol.
The guy in the Japan 1966 video is the same guy as the one on The Ed Sullivan Show. Not sure about the others. In the 1965 "We Can Work It Out" video he does look a lot smaller than George but he could be standing on a level down. The hair looks different than usual. Just not sure.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you beatlies about the "munchkin" look of Paul/Faul. Here is the same guy in the Day Tripper video and he looks the same size or bigger than John.

Not to mention the "Butcher Block" album cover of "yesterday and today"...bloody meat and amputated doll parts.

Not to mention the "Butcher Block" album cover of "yesterday and today"...bloody meat and amputated doll parts.  The phrase "butcher cover" to describe this telling cover of horror is a bit of a misonomer, but it's that term which has become the standard one in the media. More properly it should ne called the "medical atrocity" cover or infant mutilation cover. Again, an association of The Beatles with mass death on one of their album covers. They more resemble evil doctors than meat (animal) butchers,dressed in white medical or surgical garb. What comes to mind is Dr. Mengele or lethal human experiments of biological warfare labs, or perhaps more to the point here, human cloning experiments. Is this what was really going on at the Strawberry Field institution? 3.bp.blogspot.com/_LnLtk3_0E1Q/ScI_9EcOSLI/AAAAAAAAHfQ/8t_qn8b4OWc/s400/RubberSoulUK.jpg Hovering above Ringo's head, above the grave site, a "subliminal" devil head with horns can be seen in the leaves, with a five pointed star beneath him. And I almost hate to bring this up, but has it ever been established what type of meat that is in the infant-dissection cover? |

Doesn't it look like 'two fingers' by Paul's forearm?

Ah yes, the Rubber Soul album cover. Interesting title too. Wouldn't a rubber soul bounce back (so to speak) from death?? Does this indicate reincarnation or replacement?  |

Ehee, right on, Sabrina. Very right on, I can say.

Something that struck me as rubber being a synthetic material...so a synthetic or artificial soul as well?  Those double meanings can be included. |

Doesn't it look like 'two fingers' by Paul's forearm? And Fohn's "genitals" (dis)member is visible. Prefigures the naked "Two Virgins" cover with Yucko in 1968. Has anyone ever mentioned this before? I don't recall seeing this mentioned anywhere. I just noticed it several days ago. Yet we've all heard about Faul's cavorting in the "Fool on the Hill" sequence of the MMT film with his fly down exposing himself. |
