We’re sure that there are other clues out there that we are not aware of, or have simply forgotten. For example, We’ve overheard that someone has tried to verify that the vocal patterns of Paul’s voice were the same when he sang “Yesterday” and “Lady Madonna”, but instead found that they were different voices! Ummm….
Yeah.

Let it Be:
Purchase Let it Be
This one is short and simple. Let it Be, being their last album, was released at a point in their career when they no longer cared to support the rumors. The cover of Let it Be has a black frame surrounding The Beatles; notice that not only is Paul the [...]
Abbey Road :
Purchase Abbey Road
This album cover is, without doubt, our favorite, the clues are obvious:
The cover shows the Beatles walking across Abbey Road. John is dressed in white, as the preacher. Ringo is dressed as pallbearer, Paul, who is out of step, barefoot, and the only one holding a cigarette in his right hand [...]
Yellow Submarine:
Purchase Yellow Submarine
The open palm appears above Paul’s head on the front cover, while the yellow submarine is pictured beneath the land, stationary, coffin-like.
Yellow Submarine Movie: Even the movie has a couple of clues, one happens during the song “All You Need Is Love” when John sings “..yes, he’s dead..” the word “know” on the [...]
White Album:
Purchase The White Album
This album has little to do with the cover and much to do with the lyrics. To be honest, the album cover only, once again, highlights the theory that they were avoiding having to take pictures of William Campbell since he didn’t quite look exactly like Paul. Inside the album though, [...]
Hey Jude:
The picture above the Beatles, on top of the doorway in front of which they are standing, is supposedly a picture of where Paul is buried. Notice that his hands are clasped in front of himself.
Hey Jude Lyrics:
Lady Madonna: “..Wednesday morning papers didn’t come..” (they were recalled remember)
Revolution: “..don’t you know it’s gonna [...]
Magical Mystery Tour:
Purchase Magical Mystery Tour
Paul is in the black walrus costume on the cover, each of the other Beatles is wearing white. The walrus is a sign of death in certain cultures. Ironically, the other Beatles are dressed in white and hovering above him.
The word “Beatles” when held to a mirror is actually a [...]
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band:
Purchase Sgt. Pepper’s
Here, the The Beatles display a mischievous talent not unlike their talent in the studio, simply masterful. The crowd includes faces (and bodies) of many famous people who passed away or have become outdated. Even the wax figures of the “early” Beatles stand in. They’re overlooking a grave [...]
Revolver:
Purchase Revolver
This is the first cover with an open palm above Paul’s head. An open palm signified that the person below was departed from this world. The album cover was drawn because the absence of Paul made taking pictures of him difficult. It is interesting that “Revolver” could refer to a revolving door through which [...]
Rubber Soul:
Purchase Rubber Soul
The title “Rubber Soul” is in the shape of a upside-down heart, indicating a “false soul” amongst them. Also notice that the Beatles are all peering downwards (at/in a grave?!). The photograph is somewhat distorted so that no one can tell that the person in the picture is not really Paul, but [...]
This is the message one hears when they play the final lyrics of “I’m So Tired” from the Beatles White Album, backwards. People have discovered phone numbers on some album covers and called them. They recieved strange replies like, “you’re getting closer” and “beware of Abbey Road”. Many people started to believe that [...]
The video created for the Beatles’ “Free as a Bird” has many references to Beatle events, song, and rumors. Here’s a chronological listing of what you can find.
