There are people who believe Paul McCartney was permanently replaced in 1966. I'm one of them. What happened to him? That's what this blog will explore.

Speaking of a John Replacement . . .
Take a look at The Swinging Blue Jeans ( a Liverpool Merseybeat group who were recording at the same time as The Beatles.) This is the cover of a 1967 single by them. The man in the middle is Ralph Ellis. Look like someone familiar?
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 . . .
