Tainted Evidence and Bogus Photographs

Having laid to rest, on the previous page, the idea that Paul had grown several inches between 1966 and 1967, I will now show some more photos which have been used by TKIN and PID theorists over the years which are not quite right. Some people will go to great lengths to attempt to produce what they call "legal photographic evidence" but for each one they show, there are several others which will disprove what they are trying to say. So, it only stands to reason that photos would be manipulated in order to make Paul look as different as possible in order to make this point.

Let me introduce to you the one and only Billy Shears! Well, some think it is anyways. The photo at left, file titled BSlookalike by someone of the PID camp, is said to be a picture of some Canadian guy named William Campbell before he had plastic surgury in order to look like Paul McCartney. I have always contended that it is merely Paul in one of his disguises. Well, look at the image on the right, which is how this image actually appears on the White Album poster. TKIN/PID people flipped this pic to make him look even more different. Amazing, eh? Someone even made an attempt to colorize Billy's pic to accentuate the ear on the left side of the image to prove it was some kind of a prosthetic ear. Incredible, huh? But, the most amazing thing to me about the flipped photo of "Bill" is how it is often used to compare with newer pictures of Paul, and how it somehow seems to match...but look at the fade on the right of the "Bill" pic in it's correct orientation and an old pre-1966 PID pic of Paul. Although the camera angles are slightly different, there is no denying how well the facial features line up.What I don't understand is why people think this pic will match the later pics of Paul so well because it really doesn't. Have a look at the ear on the left side of the pic as the Spies Like Us pic fades in. The ear doesn't match, nor does the nose! Then there is the infamous Sgt Pepper pic from the CD released in 1987. This one in particular is being used to show a change in the shape of Paul's head, and this picture has been so badly stretched vertically that his features won't line up with any other photo from that same session. Below is a scan of the original gatefold picture from the original 1967 Sgt Pepper album:
The photo at left is from the original gatefold in the 1967 record album cover. If you don't believe the CD picture was stretched, watch it fade in over the pic from the original album gatefold at right. See how the face grows longer and wider even though the eyes remain lined up perfectly throughout the fade. The artwork for the CD was poorly handled and is very disappointing to someone like me who works with graphic designs on a regular basis. I don't know why they were allowed to wreck it so much and still get paid for their work. Why did they even change the photos to begin with?
To further illustrate how much the photo from the CD was stretched, or elongated, I made this fade by using their heads from the original gatefold image as a point of reference. Watch how much this image grows vertically as it returns to it's original form. Paul's image from this photo is widely used to show that the person we are looking at in this photo is an imposter because the eye spacing won't match any earlier photos, and the head appears longer and less round. Well, no wonder! I refer you again to the fade with Paul's image from the original gatefold and this image here.
I recently purchased my very own copy of the CD and have made another discovery. The image in my CD booklet doesn't appear to be so stretched as the one previously shown. This fade shows further illustrates how the previous example has been stretched even when compared to the same image that I scanned from my own copy. Ringo's motion is mainly due to the left-hand page not lining up, but watch the vertical stretching of the others. Looks as though someone is helping the cause along by making a very subtle pinch in the photo before making their case on the internet.
Now THIS is a really fine piece of work. The image to the left is yet another image that was shopped in order to make Paul appear like someone else. The image at right is in the correct orientation, taken from a frame grab of an interview on the street outside Apple Studios. Not only was the image at left flipped horizontally, but there is also evidence of a bit of tampering with it's shape along his jawline, his mouth, and the eye on the left side of the pic. His mustache may have been tampered with as well as it appears to have more of a space in the middle, but that is only my own observation. The way to tell if any photo of Paul has been flipped is to look first at his nose, and then his eyebrows. His nose has a slight crook in it to HIS right, or our left, while his eyebrows, when not furrowed as above, will have his right eyebrow (our left) arched a bit more than his left one. The image below gives you the full Macca

brow as he has relaxed it after having furrowed it in the frame above. There is just no mistaking that look. Some people will go to any length to prove their argument, and I think we blew their cover on this one.

In Summary

Yes, there is tainted evidence and bogus photographs that are being used out there to prove this isn't Paul. This argument concludes...check your photos!

Up to this point I have used photographs to address the issue of Paul's perceived changed in height and have shown how some of the so-called photographic proof of Paul's alleged replacement have been manipulated in an attempt to make him appear different after 1966. On the next page I will address one of the more recent death clues and then show photograpic comparisons of how he still looks the same.
