Answer 1

*ahem*

-Well, there's the Abbey Road cover, featuring what looks to be a funeral procession. George is the gravedigger, Ringo the minister, John a religious figure, Paul the dead guy (Out of step, no shoes, cigarette in right hand despite being a lefty).

-On the back, there is a skull-shaped shadow. and dots that seem to make a "3" when connected. 3 remaining Beatles?

-On the car license plate on the front of the album, it says "28IF" referring to him being 28 years old if he had not died.

-Also on the plate, "LMW" (Linda McCartney Weeps)



-Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (a lot for this one): Starting with the back, the Beatles are spelling out the word "Love" with their hands, all facing forward except for Paul.

-The front of the cover seems to resemble a funeral, with flowers and everybody standing over them

-There is an arrangement of yellow flowers that resemble a bass, with 3 "strings" on it, referring to the 3 remaining Beatles

-There is a small statue of an Indian got of death (or something like that), where both hands are pointing to Paul and the wax figure of Paul

-Paul is holding a black instrument

-A patch on Paul's arm seems to have the initials "OPD" (Officially Pronounced Dead)

-There is an open hand above Paul's head, a symbol of death

-The doll on the right has the model car Paul "died" in, as well as what looks like a bloody driving glove

-Below the doll is what seems to resemble a car (maybe on fire?) falling off a cliff

-Then of course, "Billy Shears," Paul's 'replacement'

-Oh yes, and then there's the drumhead on the cover. It's a bit confusing, but instead of explaining here's a picture: http://digilander.libero.it/p_truth/the_truth/i_one_i_x.jpg



-Supposedly, at the end of "Strawberry Fields Forever" John says "I buried Paul" (though he is really saying "Cranberry Sauce"

-When Revolution 9 is played backwards, we hear "Turn Me On, Dead Man"

-When another song is played backwards (can't think of which one) it supposedly says "Paul is dead man. Miss him, miss him."



-Magical Mystery Tour: There is a picture in the inside that has a cartoon Paul and what looks like a crack in his head, signifying his death by head injury/decapitation

-Also, on the album cover, when you put the front up to a mirror it said a phone number which one would call and it would say something along the lines of "You're getting closer..." (I read it somewhere, but I'm not so sure about it)



-Yesterday... And Today: "Butcher Cover"- George holding a baby doll head next to Paul's, and Paul also has 2 decapitated baby dolls on each shoulder

-"Trunk Cover"- Paul is sitting in a trunk, which resembles a coffin



-At one point in the video for "Free As a Bird" there is a car accident, and when it's panning over the accident, there is what looks like a distorted 'Paul face' reflected in one of the car windows



-Then Revolver- Paul's face is the only one facing sideways and not front

-*And there seems to be a screaming Paul picture towards the top of the cover. Dunno if that's significant, but I read that somewhere



-White Album: On the poster that came with the White Album, on the bottom right there is a picture of Paul with what looks like 2 skeleton hands reaching out to grab him (Having the poster myself, I can say that it's pretty creepy)



I will put more when I think of them... I can't believe I remembered that much.

Answer 2

On the cover of the album for yellow submarine, paul has a peace sign over his head, on the cover of the album of sgt peper i think, if you hold it up or at some angle, you see he die, or dead with a arrow pointing a paul, and it does look really cool



I am honest that those are the only ones that i can think of at teh moment, although i know that there are a few musical refrences that say he died.



Also FYI, when fans actually realized what these messages ment, or could ment, they were terriffied, and belived that the albums were created from pre-recorded snippits, so paul actually went on radio, and said he wasnt dead. lulz

Answer 3

Which Paul?

Answer 4

Yahoo search: "turn me on dead man"



Revolution #9 backwards

Turn me on dead man... Remember when the "White Album" came out and we were ... and of course the famous "Turn me on dead man...

The Beatles did a song called "Revolution #9"; when played backward, some of it sounded similar to, "Turn me on, dead man."

Answer 5
