One of the Beatles most famous album has be rereleased for the Viseo game The Beatles RockBand. We all have our copy, and are hoping all of our beatle fans have theirs. My favorite song on the album of course is Come Together.
The album is the first ever Beatles album with no tile or name on the cover. It just silly portrays the four beatles walking down the cross walk on Abbey Road. They are seen walking in a straight line one behind the other with John Lennon leading, behind him is seen Ringo Star. Next in line is Paul McCartney and finally George Harrison. One of the most talked about objects of this album cover was the question of why Paul was the only barefoot one if the group that day.
Some say it’s just another Beatle genius idea to catch your eye. Other claim it to be another hidden clue purposefully placed there by the beatles to signify Paul McCartneys death. For those readers that are lost. In 1968 Paul and Ringo were arguing in the studio one day, and Paul took off upset He was said to have been driving his silver Aston Martin when he picked up a hitch hiker. A blonde female she was. Apparently the car crashed and Both Paul and the woman died. Paul was said to have died of an undisclosed head injury.
It was also said that a year earlier Billy Shepard had won a Paul McCartney look alike contest and they used him to replace Paul to avoid massive suicides of their fans, had they learned of the real Pauls death.
There are said clues as far as one song on the Abbey Road Album called Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, which is supposed to represent Pauls Aston Martin which was named the Silver Hammer by all car magazines that year. The cover of Sgt. Pepper Album. Where three of the Beatles John,George, and Ringo are seen dressed in black mourning a fallen band member whilst surrounded by deceased super stars of the ages like Marylin Monroe. Another clue was the Walrus sing which in Greek means imposter. Also in Come Together on of the lines reads “one and one and one is three. Got to be good lookin cause he’s so hard to see” of course meaning only three Beatles are real and the fourth had to be as good looking as Paul because he was so hard to spot.
Looking back you can see that Paul McCarneys face eyes were Brown. And his face round. The Paul McCarney later generations know has a longer face and Green eyes. The idea is that Billy Shepard replace Paul and the beatles placed clues on their albums. Later on after the entire story was proclaimed a hoax John said “only our truest fans will ever know the truth” one could take it as the one who own all our albums will put the clues together and see.
Whatever he or she may believe this album went into history as one of the greatest talked about albums ever. I won’t say exactly what I believe but I will tell you this album is a hit in my book.
