I was aware of the PAUL IS DEAD theory at the time but gave it little attention. Radio stations such as WABC, WKNR, CFNY, WPLJ, WMCA, WKBW, and their radio personalities were busy investigating PID and giving it airtime. Some of the jockeys involved were Roby Yonge, Alex Bennett, and Dave Fox. A number of famous people were interviewed and eight CD's of material resulted. New and improved link in comments.

I've always thought the Paul is Dead stuff became big because, like the rest of the country, DJ's were sick and tired of talking about Vietnam.
Good one. It seems to me I was grateful for the distraction.
The Univ of Michigan student newspaper used to claim that they started the rumor.
I'm sure it's me...but I've tried the link 5 times and I can't seem to find the download button on the page...what am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
I can see the files, but it looks like they need to be zipped. Please advise, and thanks. Standing by...
Link is not active or dead, but thanks!
First I went, and then I really went, but there still didn't
seem to be any there.
BTW, I was too young to hear that rumor the first time around.
Someone had to explain it to me in the later 70s, when some of
the folks from the Los Angeles Free Music Society (LAFMS) started
recording under the name "Paul Is Dead."
Still nothing...
So kind of you to repost this, but alas the link is still broken - just downloads an empty folder.
Good grief. I am going to figure this out and repost. Stand by.
After several tries here is the Miss Him, Miss Him, 5-CD set;
*Here you go*
That got it Edfray, much appreciated. I remember our local station running one of these when I was a kid. It was sort of spooky, what with all the records played backwards and visual 'clues.' Like Lennon observed, it was all bullish*t, but hey, it sold a lot of albums, so alright then. He was honest to a fault, probably what got him killed.
Thanks!
Ok...nice to know it wasn't just me... Great stuff Thanks!
BTW... if you need help with more great Beatles stuff...I'm the rarities guy on www.beatlesarama.com and have been a DJ there for over 9 years. I have 10 TERABYTES of Beatles rarities... Glad to help you out if you need it!

Just bought this great book by Ernesto Carbonetti, which really is a labour of love, and an interesting take on the story. https://www.xsnoize.com/book-review-paul-is-dead-when-the-beatles-lost-mccartney-by-paolo-baron-and-ernesto-carbonetti/
Wow. The labyrinth only grows larger.
Excellent book on the subject which explains the origins:

@Michael solof...
I love Beatles rarities...
There's nothing finer than the praise of a connoisseur. Nine years of Beatles DJ experience should be enough time to hone an edge that is unique. Beatles discourse is always better when there is dedicated experience involved in the topics of discussion. Fresh angles aren't always available but, interesting and informative make up any lack newness! The good news is that The Beatles are still fresh as day one.
Any rarities are appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Hey! I compiled this set and wrote the liner notes (amusing, I hope). Happy to see it here -- I love this site!

thanx for that… there's actually a fun german film riffing on this…
