I was looking at YouTube videos of The Beatles reaction to receiving their MBE's (Members of the British Empire) awards. The interviews were taped June 12, 1965, and that may have been the first public appearance of Paul's replacement.
Take a look at two videos: www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7YIaCaikAs and www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJCTB3g9Xdw
On the first video (at 1:20), "Paul" looks as though his face is bruised and that it's been covered with makeup. From the front, he looks like Paul. But from the left side, it is clearly another man.
On the second video, there is the following exchange:
0:33-0:36 - Interviewer: "Have any of you have any ambitions left at all?"
0:37-0:38 - George: "Yeah, I want to be an astronaut."
(Laughter)
0:40-0:43 - "Paul": "Yeah, and I want to be a deep-sea fisherman."
Could this have been references back to the high-pressure oxygen Lotus bed that I have mentioned in earlier posts? High-pressure oxygen is used in aeronautics and deep-sea diving.

- For original Beatles fans, 1966 was a strange year. The "Butcher" cover and John's "more popular than Jesus" comment signaled that something was wrong with The Beatles. By 1967, we heard a different voice than Paul's on Penny Lane and we saw a different face in photos. Most of us abandoned Beatle fandom. In 1969, the "Paul is Dead" clues surfaced and were so strong and consistent, that many people wondered if that was the answer to the puzzling changes in Paul's voice and looks. People have been looking into that possibility from 1969-on but have not been able to document what happened to Paul. My generation deserves to know the truths about the group that we loved and made famous. So the search is on . . .
