About The Walrus Was Paul: The Great Beatle Death Clues
Product Description “Paul is dead.” It was the late 1960s, the Beatles hadn’t toured since 1966, and some truly bizarre indications began appearing, pointing to the unthinkable: Paul McCartney had been killed in a car accident and replaced by a look-alike. The Walrus Was Paul unearths every single clue from one of rock ’n’ roll’s most enduring puzzles and takes you on a magical mystery tour of baffling, yet fascinating, hints for solving this mystery. Test your “Paul is dead” trivia knowledge. Did you find and answer the following clues on the front cover? To what song does the title, The Walrus Was Paul, refer? -“I Am the Walrus,” which appeared on the clue-filled album Magical Mystery Tour. There is an egg in Paul’s eye. Why? -In the song “I Am the Walrus,” John Lennon sings, “I am the eggman...I am the walrus”—and later, in the song “Glass Onion,” we find out that, in fact, “the walrus was Paul.” To what album (and richest source of “Paul is dead” clues) do the red, Victorian-style design elements on the front refer? -Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Why is the image of Paul McCartney on the cover blurry? Are there distinguishing characteristics that might lead you to conclude something is awry? -Many photographs of Paul in these questionable years were blurry, and Paul had a mustache, which allegedly concealed the fact that this was not Paul and the plastic-surgery scars were being hidden from his curious public. The anagram on the bottom of the cover refers to a Greek island where John Lennon had what planned? -The island Leso is the “hidden Greek island” on which John Lennon planned to bury Paul, and it is spelled out as “Be at Leso” on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Review Jay Fox ABC Fab Four Fridays A must read for any fan of the Fab Four.

Chapter One: I Buried Paul THE BRITISH INVASION AND THE AMERICAN MASS MEDIA The Beatles were the musical messiahs of the turbulent sixties. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr led the British invasion that overran America's youth. No other British force, from Henry Clinton and George Cornwallis to Sir Edward Pakenham, accomplished so convincing a victory upon American soil. The method of conquest was not with fire and sword, but with electric guitars, amplifiers, and fab songs that infected every American household with the Mersey Beat. American television, that unsuspecting British ally, innocently brought the Beatles into our living rooms on February 9, 1964, mainly due to the foresight of Ed Sullivan. But not even Sullivan, the promoter who introduced the American public to the likes of Robert Goulet and Elvis, foresaw the tidal wave that was about to hit American shores. On that peaceful winter night, the home-viewing audience was said to have numbered well over seventy-three million Americans. Although a veteran of the television wars, Ed Sullivan must have been amazed that this British group was such a huge draw. Elvis Presley had set the record for the highest number of studio tickets requested: over seven thousand for his appearance in 1958. In what was a foreshadowing of things to come, the show had received over sixty thousand requests for tickets to the Beatle performance. Though some sources maintain that the television studio's seating capacity was only seven hundred, eight hundred tickets were given out through an impartial drawing, and those breathless individuals, chosen by fate, became live witnesses to the surrender of American youth.
