No Credible Photos of Paul Past July,1966

I have been searching unsuccessfully for ANY credible photo of our Paul past the photo of him that was taken in early July, 1966 when he was in India.  (See photo in my post of October 10, 2010.)

Paul was supposed to have attended a performance of experimental music at the Royal College of Art in London on September 15, 1966.  There was a group of musicians and the composer Cornelius Cardew and about a dozen people in the audience but I have not found one photograph from the concert.

Paul (and Ringo) were supposed to have accepted an award from the English pop music magazine Melody Maker on September 13, 1966.  A very hazy short film from the awards ceremony and several photographs have surfaced.  I always thought the photos looked doctored and then found another photo from a English music photographer, David Redfern.  (See right.)  THIS Paul looks like one of the 1966 American tour look-alikes.

Since I do not believe our Paul was in the 1966 American tour group I'm seriously thinking that all the chatter from the new Beatles and the other musicians was about things happening to our Paul beginning some time after early JULY, 1966.
