Product Description
It was the late 1960s, the Beatles hadn't toured since 1966, and some truly bizarre indications began appearing, pointing to the unthinkable: Paul McCartney had been killed in a car accident and replaced by a look-alike. The Walrus Was Paul unearths every single clue from one of rock 'n' roll's most enduring puzzles and takes you on a magical mystery tour of baffling, yet fascinating, hints for solving this mystery.
Test your "Paul is dead" trivia knowledge. Did you find and answer the following clues on the front cover?
- To what song does the title, The Walrus Was Paul, refer?
"I Am the Walrus," which appeared on the clue-filled album Magical Mystery Tour.
- There is an egg in Paul's eye. Why?
In the song "I Am the Walrus," John Lennon sings, "I am the eggman...I am the walrus" -- and later, in the song "Glass Onion," we find out that, in fact, "the walrus was Paul."
- To what album (and richest source of "Paul is dead" clues) do the red, Victorian-style design elements on the front refer?
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
- Why is the image of Paul McCartney on the cover blurry? Are there distinguishing characteristics that might lead you to conclude something is awry?
Many photographs of Paul in these questionable years were blurry, and Paul had a mustache, which allegedly concealed the fact that this was not Paul and the plastic-surgery scars were being hidden from his curious public.
- The anagram on the bottom of the cover refers to a Greek island where John Lennon had what planned?
The island Leso is the "hidden Greek island" on which John Lennon planned to bury Paul, and it is spelled out as "Be at Leso" on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

This review is from: The Walrus Was Paul: The Great Beatle Death Clues (Paperback)
This book was amazing. It makes you think so different about The Beatles songs. I found it so interesting how people twist things then this huge conspiracy comes out of it. VERY GREAT BOOK FOR BEATLES FANS!

the walrus was paul,
By Alternative Mindz "AMZ" (Brooklyn, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Walrus Was Paul: The Great Beatle Death Clues (Paperback)
the first thing anyone can say when reading a book like this is ....what in the world is up with this world. the book provides a real tuff look at the hoax and conspiracy around the "death" of paul in 1966 (he was supposedly decapitated in a car crash on november 9)and that an imposter posed as paul all this time. one thing i noticed while reading the book, was that it didnt just talk about the hoax, it taught you alot of facts of the beatles in general. this book is geared to beatle fans. but even a non-beatle fan will dig this book. i would have given five stars but i felt that the book could have used alittle more. it reads fast and nice and is easy to take in. overall a must read for anybody.

This review is from: The Walrus Was Paul: The Great Beatle Death Clues (Paperback)
I loved reading this book, matter of fact I don't think I put it down til I was finished. For people unfamiliar with Beatle hysteria, it might seem a little odd, but I remember my friend and I going through those "clues" and some things were truly bizarre. We wore out records playing them backwards. We searched through photos with magnifying glasses. I only gave it 4 stars, perhaps unfairly, because I remember some "clues" that aren't in the book. Maybe every area of the country had it's own "clues?" If you know what people mean by "Turn Me On Dead Man" you'll love this!
