A Picture of a Fake Paul (and possibly a fake John) as Early as 1961

In George Harrison's 1980 book, I, Me, Mine, he published 15 photos.  Plate IX shows a picture of, supposedly, George, Paul, and John in 1961.  The caption to the photograph reads:

     "The roof of the Top Ten Club, George, Paul and John, the Reeperbahn, Hamburg 1961.  Family collection."

Take a look at this photo on the YouTube video:  Beatles at the Top Ten Club Hamburg 1961 (pictures):

www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8pFDm4ReW4 at 1:17-1:20.  In contrast,  look at the photo at 1:25-1:27.

The first photo is clearly NOT Paul.  Note the very long, sharp chin.  The photo in the video may have been tweaked:  the book photo looks even more  NOT like Paul.  The second photo in the video IS Paul, which suggests that either there was photo doctoring going on as far back as 1980, or that there was a Paul look-a-like that The Beatles were aware of as early as 1961.

Also, take a look at the Revolver album cover on

the right.  Below and to the right of the drawing

of Paul (it's the photo below George wearing a hat) is

a photo of the 1961 "Paul."
