Distempered seahorse12 i dont believe that julian lennon was the inspiration for lucy in the sky with diamonds. look: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. LSD. yeah, you get the picture. and "they sit in the back with their heads in the clouds" more drugs. hey, drugs were cool and somewhat legal back then. John had no idea that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds had the letters LSD in the title. He actually says in and interview that after the public got all hot and bothered by the LSD thing he went back and checked “every single song” he'd ever written just to see what he could put together with THOSE initials. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is also a reference to Alice in Wonderland. biggrin

The only one I know by heart is the Abbey Road cover. It depics a Funeral scene. It depics John as the preacher(white) Ringo as the mourner(black), George as the gravedigger(working clothes) and Paul as the deceased(barefoot) Also on the cover, the license on the car says 28IF (Paul's age in the Indian religions if he had lived)

Actually, there's a lot more than ten "clues". There's hundreds of "clues" if you know where to look. Ah, crazy fans with a lot of time on their hands -- what would we do without them?
Here are some "clues" in no particular order:
1. On the Sgt. Pepper album, there is a hand above Paul's head. This is supposed to be an Eastern blessing of the deceased.
2. Also on this album cover, there is a left-handed bass depicted in what looks to be a funeral arrangement. As everyone knows, Paul plays a left-handed bass.
3. On the inside cover of the Sgt. Pepper album, Paul wears a patch saying "O.P.D.," which supposedly stands for "Officially Pronounced Dead".
4. When a mirror is put up to the drum on the Sgt. Pepper cover in the middle horizontally, it reads, "1 ONE 1 X = HE DIE (arrow pointing to Paul)." The "1 ONE 1" refers to the three remaining Beatles; the "X" to Paul.
5. On "Glass Onion," John sings "The walrus was Paul." The walrus is a symbol of death in some cultures.
6. In "Magical Mystery Tour," in one scene, Paul wears a black carnation while the others wear white ones. OH NOES.
7. On the "Revolver" cover, his drawing faces sideways while the others face forward, showing non-conformity with the other living Beatles (you know, by being dead and all).
8. At the end of "I'm So Tired," John kinda mumbles incoherently. When you play that backward, you supposedly hear "Paul's dead, man -- miss him, miss him."

Well of course there's the whole big rumor that A Day In The Life tells the story of Pauls death. And also at the end of Strawberry Fields Forever if one turns up the volume very loudly John can almost certainly be heard saying "I burried Paul."

thats awsome heres all the ones i know
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band:
On the Front Cover:
1.) All the people are looking at a freshly dug grave.
2.) Paul is holding the musical instrument cor anglais, and it is black, symbolizing death, and the only Beatle holding a black instrument. Where Paul is holding it with his left hand (being left-handed) he is displaying three fingers, meaning only three Beatles left?
3.) This was the first album on Apple Records and the first album that the group wrote their name as "Beatles," rather than "The Beatles." This is inferred to mean that they are no longer a whole as in "The," but now since there are only three, it is just "Beatles."
4.) The yellow hyacinth in the shape of a left-handed guitar only has three strings.
5.) The doll in the red, black and white stripes has a car model on her lap next to her right hand. This model with red interior is supposed to mean the car in which Paul was killed and the red interior is blood.
6.) The other three Beatles' are standing sideways behind the drum, except Paul who is standing forward.
7.) On the drum is written in the center "Lonely Hearts." Using a mirror, place it perpendicular to the center of the drum. Splitting the words "Lonely Hearts" in half, the combined writing reads - 1 ONE 1 X HE DIE. This means that the "1 One 1" equal three, or that Paul is gone, and the "X" is meant to cross out Paul. Between the words "HE" and "DIE" is an arrow that points directly to Paul.
8.) The hand raised over Paul's head, is to mean "death."
The Back Cover:
9.) Paul is facing the back, which can mean that he is an imposter, or that he is dead.
10.) George's right-hand index finger is pointing directly to the words "five o'clock," the supposed time of the car crash.
11.) That the song lyrics "Within You, Without You," are printed over Paul's body.
The Songs:
12.) Lovely Rita:"When I caught a glimpse of Rita," and "I took her home, I nearly made it."
13.) A Day In The Life: " He blew his mind out in a car, he didn't notice that the lights had changed. A crowd of people stood and stared, they'd seen his face before..."
14.) Good Morning, Good Morning: "Nothing to do to save his life." "People running around it's five o'clock."
15.) She's Leaving Home: "Wednesday morning at five o'clock."
16.) Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: The reference to Billy Shears is supposed to be that of William (Billy) Campbell, the look-alike.
Magical Mystery Tour
The Front Cover:
17.) Paul is alleged to be the one in the "black" walrus suit.
18.) In the booklet, Ringo's drums read "Love the 3 Beatles."
19.) In the picture where The Beatles' are wearing white tails, Paul is the only one with a black carnation, the other three have red.
20.) When you hold the album cover to a mirror, the word "Beatles" is a phone number, which is 2317438. It has been said that if you had called this number back then, a recording came on saying, "you're getting closer." Of course there is no area code etc., so I doubt this one too.
The Songs:
21.) I Am The Walrus: At the end of the song, where the spoken words from the play King Lear are placed, you here "O, untimely death!" and of course as we know, "The Walrus Was Paul."
22.) Strawberry Fields Forever: When John Lennon says in the end of the song the words "Cranberry Sauce," it was long believed to be he saying "I Buried Paul." However, it was electronically manipulated to sound like he was saying "I Buried Paul" but he actually isn't. 3.) All You Need Is Love: At the end, Lennon says, "Yes, he's dead."
Yellow Submarine
The Front and Back Covers
23.) Lennon's hand raised over Paul's head, indicating "death."
The Beatles (The White Album)
24.) Glass Onion: The term used for a coffin with a glass top.
25.) 'Don't Pass Me By: "You were in a car crash...."
26.) Revolution 9: The words, "Number nine, number nine," repeated many times are supposed to say when played backwards, "dead man, turn me on dead man." The reference to the number 9 is supposed to be that of McCartney having nine letters.
Abbey Road
The Front Cover:
27.) The common meaning of the Beatles' dress - Lennon in white for a priest, Ringo as the undertaker, George as the grave digger, and of course Paul, in his bare feet, holding a cigarette in his right hand (being lefty) all means death.
28,) The police vehicle parked to the right in the photograph is a morgue wagon.
29.) The Volkswagen parked on the left side of the street has a tag that reads, "LMW 28IF. This has been construed to mean "LMW - Linda McCartney Weeps" and the "28IF" means that Paul would have been 28 years old IF he had lived.
30.) The car in the background is headed directly at Paul.

I don't know many Beatles facts anymore. I used to know a lot xd The only one I can really remember is that the song "Eight Days a Week" features the first fade-in in rock history. But I am sure most of you know this one sweatdrop

Problem is, I don't have enough albums, and also, I wouldn't want to ruin them by sticking them to my walls.

dirtywhore 30.) The car in the background is headed directly at Paul. Um...no it's not. Abbey Road is in England, where they drive on the LEFT side of the road. Paul is on the left side so the car is driving away from him. As for that whole "play it backwards and you'll hear blah blah blah", not true at all. You just hear something like "turn me on, dead man" because that is what you are told to hear. If you listened to it without looking at what it says, you probably would hear something completely different. A better example would be hearing "I buried Paul" at the end of SFF. When you're expecting to hear "I buried Paul" instead of "cranberry sauce", you're gonna hear it, just try it yourselves. When you put text to sounds, your brain fills in all the blanks. In other words, if you're looking for a message, you're gonna find it. Eep...sorry if I come off as such a know-it-all sweatdrop . I blame my mother whee
