[QUOTE=Scarbo;23842385]Ok, paul wasn't dead, ever, it was just a conspiracy theory. And not sure bout "tha Masons", but helter-skelter means "in confused, disorderly haste". Oh, but if you're talking about Charles Manson, he interpreted the song as a prediction of a racial war or something.[/QUOTE] Sorry, typo. But yeah I meant him.
Alrighty. Reading into it, he took the whole 'White Album' and found hints of a future racial war in it. Quite weird.
[QUOTE=ZuXer;23841895] Also could you guys explain me a few things? Like what was this hoax that Paul was dead? And what the hell is the connection between helter skelter and tha Mansons? And what the fuck is a helter skelter?[/QUOTE] :frog:
She's a Woman is such a great song. It should've been on a studio album. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG7hG3zb6f8[/media] I can't stop listening to it, I ended up 8-bit-ing it. :v: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6601025/Music/shes_a_woman.WAV[/url]

[QUOTE=Akayz;23849197]How can anyone NOT know that?[/QUOTE] People who don't live in the UK.
[QUOTE=ZuXer;23841895] Also could you guys explain me a few things? Like what was this hoax that Paul was dead? [/QUOTE] Basically a conspiracy lead to beleive that Paul McCartney died in a car crash and was replaced by a sound alike and look alike. In fact I;ll post some in this thread. [editline]12:28AM[/editline] [b]Is Paul dead?[/b] [highlight]Sgt. Pepper[/highlight] [img]http://homepages.tesco.net/harbfamily/opd/images/album/peppers/pepperfront.jpg[/img] [b]The Funeral[/b] The first thing you notice when you look at the front cover is how similar it looks to a grave scene. In the foreground we have what looks to be a freshly dug piece of earth (complete with floral decoration) with a grave-stone like bass drum facing it. The figures behind look like they're grouped around all paying respect to someone recently departed. But who? [b]The Death Association[/b] There is one thing that every single member of that audience (bar the Beatles themselves) has in common, and that's death. Every person there had, at the time, either died, had a near-death experience or had portrayed death. For example, Edgar Allen Poe died a tragic death, Marilyn Monroe was a suicide victim, Laurence of Olivia was fatally wounded in a motorcycle crash and Bob Dylan was almost killed in a car crash in 1966. Also, we cannot forget the face of the other dead Beatle, Stuart Sutcliffe. Was it mere coincidence that all of these people had death in common, or was it intentional? If so, why? [b]The Bass Drum[/b] [img]http://homepages.tesco.net/harbfamily/opd/images/album/peppers/pepperbassdrum.jpg[/img]Remember earlier when I mentioned that the bass drum logo looked like a gravestone? This bass drum was designed by a fellow called Joe Epigraph. If you split his name in two you get Epi Grave, or Grave Epitaph. Usually they feature a death date and, with a little detective work, a date has been discovered on the bass drum logo. If you place a mirror along the middle of 'Lonely Hearts' so that the top half is being mirrored you get the clear message '1 ONE 1 X HE () DIE' (is it more than coincidence that the arrow between the words HE and DIE points directly up at Paul?). This could be interpretated as the three 1's being the live Beatles and Paul being represented as the X, meaning that he has been crossed out. However, this is not the case (although could be considered a clue). Could this be a coded date telling us when Paul died? If you take the first two numbers you get 11. November is the 11th month. The next two digits we get is IX which is Roman numerals for 9. Therefore could this be telling us that "November 9 He Die' with the arrow pointing right up to Paul? [B]Here Lies Paul?[/B] [Img]http://homepages.tesco.net/harbfamily/opd/images/album/peppers/pepperhere.jpg[/Img]A number of people and websites have all listed this particular clue, so I've decided to include it here. There appears to be a coded message hidden within the decoration on the Sgt. Peppers front cover. It starts with the bass drum where the 'HEAR' of HEARTS is used. Then, just under that the Rugby trophy betweens the L and E or Beatles is seen as the letter 'i', thus spelling 'LIES'. Finally, directly under this is the famous arrangement of yellow flowers that appears to spell 'PAUL?'. Tag these together and we're given the message 'HEAR (Here) LIES PAUL?'. Could this be further reiterating that the front cover does indeed depict a grave scene? [B]The Instruments[/B] [Img]http://homepages.tesco.net/harbfamily/opd/images/album/peppers/peppercor.jpg[/Img]Each Beatle is holding an instrument. George, John and Ringo are all holding bright, shiny brass instruments but Paul is holding a black, wooden Cor Anglais. Was Paul made to hold this instrument because it's wooden like a coffin and the mouth piece shape resembles a scythes blade? Also, Paul is holding 3 fingers on it. A cryptic indication that only three members survive? I gotta go, if anyone could compile the rest of the Sgt. Pepper from [url]http://homepages.tesco.net/harbfamily/opd/albumpeppers.html[/url] that would be great
lol if he was dead why would they ever try to convey that through an album cover [quote]A cryptic indication that only three members survive?[/quote] [quote]Also, we cannot forget the face of the other dead Beatle, Stuart Sutcliffe.[/quote]
[QUOTE=Vedicardi;23860183]lol if he was dead why would they ever try to convey that through an album cover[/QUOTE] The abbey road one is the funniest, he is bare foot and out of step with the others thus he must be dead.

I think you're missing some of the lesser known 'Paul is Dead' clues; [IMG]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060808210912/uncyclopedia/images/9/99/Paul_1964-68.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060808211121/uncyclopedia/images/3/35/A_Hard_Day%27s_Night.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060808211156/uncyclopedia/images/3/3d/Abbey_Road.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20061118013611/uncyclopedia/images/b/bf/Let_It_Be.jpg[/IMG] Courtesy of [url]http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Paul_is_dead[/url]
Personally, I love I Am The Walrus. "Sitting in an English garden, waiting for the Sun; if the Sun don't come, you get a tan from standing in the English rain." In fact, I find MMT to be a rather unappreciated album. 'Blue Jay Way' is the only song I know that actually creeps me out a bit.
[QUOTE=dirty harry;23868463]I think you're missing some of the lesser known 'Paul is Dead' clues; Courtesy of [url]http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Paul_is_dead[/url][/QUOTE] That article was great. [QUOTE] [B][U]THE TRUTH: [/U][/B] After using investigative techniques such as fingerprinting, going through his house, and spying on him with closed-circuit surveillance, the reality of it was truly clear. Everyone but Paul died in The Beatles, and somehow nobody noticed because according to interviews conducted by The National Enquirer, the fans noticed no difference in appearance of The Beatles between '63 and '70. The truth is, the fans were duped. Back in 1965, Ringo married a woman named Maureen Cox, who was actually the third cousin of objectivist Ayn Rand, who claimed in her books that she, "hated men and their sheepish ways of thinking," from her most famous work, "Atlas Sucked". Maureen, based on her hatred of men, found the wedding to be a mistake, and "accidentally" drove him off a bridge somewhere in Liverpool. Ringo's twin brother replaced him shortly after, and it was so covert that nobody else in The Beatles knew about it. Not even Ringo. George Harrison and John Lennon were abducted by the Chinese Mafia on November 9, 1966. While heading towards the Chinese embassy the Chinese Mafia failed to make a turn signal and crashed into the car of Lovely Rita, who, coincidentally, was just leaving from work. She worked as a call-girl somewhere in Liverpool. Harrison and Lennon suffered blows to their pride and died of lack of hubris two hours later. They were replaced by the comedy team "Harrisong and Limon", who were widely known around Liverpool and nowhere else, and who strangely looked, talked, songwrote, and acted like Lennon and Harrison. Again, nobody noticed about this. Not even Harrison and Lennon. Paul was the only surviving Beatle. And in fact, the clues mentioned earlier were only a facade to draw attention away from the three dead members. Currently, Ringo, John, and George are all buried somewhere in Siberia, but these speculations remain inconclusive, as one Liverpudlian stated that Ringo's grave was located near a marina with a Yellow Submarine parked in one of the docks. No word has been mentioned yet on who owns that submarine. [/QUOTE] [editline]03:34PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Jamsponge;23876654]Personally, I love I Am The Walrus. "Sitting in an English garden, waiting for the Sun; if the Sun don't come, you get a tan from standing in the English rain."

wow, pepole had time in their hand back then.

Found a Mint Condition Sgt. Pepper Vinyl Album at a Half price books, it even had the cardboard cut-outs still in it
[QUOTE=fullmetalninja;23929590]Found a Mint Condition Sgt. Pepper Vinyl Album at a Half price books, it even had the cardboard cut-outs still in it[/QUOTE] Most likely a reissue :v: First Editions are worth hundreds possibly thousands
[QUOTE=Akayz;23929673]Most likely a reissue :v: First Editions are worth hundreds possibly thousands[/QUOTE] Had the Parlaphone logo and everything on it
[QUOTE=fullmetalninja;23929723]Had the Parlaphone logo and everything on it[/QUOTE] I've got a few. But i'm not worried about worth, really just about the presence that they have. I suggest not worrying about worth because it is really rare to find a Rare copy of a beatles album. Enjoy it to the full :buddy:
[QUOTE=Akayz;23929673]Most likely a reissue :v: First Editions are worth hundreds possibly thousands[/QUOTE] Only in mint condition. The most expensive non-mint album I've seen online was $150. The most expensive album I've ever seen offline is my Aunt's copy of Beatles For Sale that she got signed by all 4 of the Beatles at the Shea Stadium concert.

Words cannot explain how amazing it was to hold that album. My favorite early beatles album, signed by all 4 of them. [IMG]http://www.photosfan.com/images/beatles-31.jpg[/IMG] That's the part that's signed. Each signature above each of their heads. BUT MY AUNT WANTS TO SELL IT. I don't give a damn how much that thing is worth, that is NEVER getting sold. If she doesn't want it, I'll gladly take it off her hands. :v:
