Peter: You got it! And don't forget the cover of Abbey Road where Paul is barefoot and out of step with the other three, while in the background is a VW Beetle with the license plate 28 if, as in Paul would be 28 if he were alive.

Bill, tgo

And the OPD (Officialy Pronounced Dead) patch on his Sgt Pepper uniform, and the left handed bass in flowers on the grave in the Sgt P cover, and the black (for death) walrus suit on MMT(Here's another clue for you all - the Walrus was Paul) and on and on.

Must be a rock thing..Led Zeppelin and Metallica have allegedly put secret messages on albums..guess it must have all stopped with the advent of CD 25 years ago!

You see, if you cannot play the reverse messages forward on a CD player, then they will travel across so much better, since the listener is unaware that there are messages that should not be heard, and hears them anyway. - Remember in your schooldays when you tried putting a book under your pillow? As the saying goes, wollip s'lived eht si sseneldI.

jbybj, you're right. My dad told me about that whole backwards thing with Twin Peaks. it sounded weird, but it was cool

James,

Radiohead does the same thing on the song Like Spinning Plates. A cool effect.

And on the SGT P cover, Paul was facing backwards while eveyone was facing forward, and a hand was above his head cuz he was marked for death. On Abbey Road, Paul was dressed in a burial suit, John was dressed as a minister, Ringo was dressed as a pall bearer, George was dressed as the grave digger. Oh, and on the MMT cover, everyone was wearing red roses, but paul was wearing black roses, and this figure resembling death was standing behind him.

SGT P- John sang he blew his mind out in a car meaning Paul died in a car accident. Ringo sang in Don't Pass Me By, You were in a car crash and you lost your hair
White Album- in The Song Revolution No. 9 it repeatedly said No. 9 but if u play it backwards it will say Turn me on deadman

John always said the inspiration for the line 'he blew his mind out in a car' came when friend and heir to the guiness fortune Tara Brown drove through a red light at 110 miles an hour in his lotus elan and crashed into the back of a truck....

Lennon said:

? I didn't copy the accident. Tara didn't blow his mind out. But it was in my mind when I was writing that verse. The details of the accident in the song ? not noticing traffic lights and a crowd forming at the scene ? were similarly part of the fiction. ?

Anarchyx.. I don't know if you have a different copy of Sgt peppers but on the original album, all 4 wax mannekins (from Mdme Tussauds) and all 4 live beatles are facing forwards As they are on the inner gatefold.
edit.. Just checked the back cover and he is indeed facing backwards. No hand of death above him though;-)

Graeme,
The hand is just above Paul's head on the front cover of my album.

yeah but..
Anarchyx said Paul was facing backwards while eveyone was facing forward, and a hand was above his head cuz he was marked for death implying that the hand was over the image of paul facing backwards.
oh well. It was all tosh anyway. Superb music though ;-)

All tosh just like Elvis is dead when we all know he is alive and well living in Eerie, Indiana. :-D

I saw Elvis at the Fry's in Las Vegas. His girlfriend looked like Amy Winehouse.
