Thanks so much for posting all these great pictures.

Thank you JoJo for preparing and posting a monumental picture trove. You been saving that up all December to kick off the New Year with many photos. We can see clothing, fashion, accepted dress is going thru a revolution already.

The dress code was starting to relax at Abbey Road.
And, from the clock on that studio piano,we see that it started around 1:37 or so. AM or PM is still a mystery.

We see John there with his shirt unbuttoned at the top the tie loose. Bill is in some rather mod attire. It wouldn't be long before bellbottoms, flowery shirts, shoulder length hair, and sandals became acceptable. About 4:30, I estimate.

Could Denny Laine have been the mysterious imitator (but then they discovered he wasn't condudicuve to plastic surgery)? In our ears and in our eyes indeed! Remember when Penny Lane was written - early on, before Sgt. Pepper (it was originally going to be on the album), late '66, even before Strawberry Fields or about the same time - an early major clue of Paul's impersonator which became null-and void when they decided to use Bill instead? Is that why pulled it off the Sgt. Pepper album, because it no longer "fitted" other clues on that album?

Perhaps we need to hear his voice on Moody blues and see if it matches up to the voice on Penny Lane.

Notice the HUGE Adams apple in the first picture where Faul is looking up at the strings. Then in the picture "Jane's 21 birthday" and the picture of John wearing the striped scarf standing next to Faul.
Could it be that they all wore scarfs and high neck shirts to hide the fact Faul had a big Adam's apple?

Possibly, but the neck-covering began with Bill's first official presentation to the world as Paul on the Dec 20th 1966 press conference. I'm inclined to think he was still recovering from plastic surgery.

From The Beatles Timeline 1966

Oct 12 -- NEMS Enterprises admits that the Moody Blues have splitted up.

Had Denny been offered the part of Paul originally until it was discovered plastic surgery wouldn't work on him? I strongly suspect so.
