Billy's Back!: Selections from The Memoirs of Billy Shears
Billy’s Back! shows how William Shepherd ("Billy Shears") replaced Paul McCartney in The Beatles, revealing how he went from "Billy Pepper" of Billy Pepper and the Pepper Pots to "Sgt. Pepper" of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Replacing Paul saved the Beatles, but plagued each band member. Now you can understand the secret messages and see how to verify the proven facts of Paul's death. Besides the many song and album clues that the world has missed until now, you will also learn the hard physical evidence. Here are a few Chapter 4 reveals how and why it was proven in court, in Germany, that the current Paul does not have the same DNA as the earlier Paul McCartney. Chapter 34 identifies the professor in Florida who was the first to publish the fact that the new and old Paul have different voiceprints, proving again that they cannot possibly be the same person (since voiceprints are as unique as fingerprints.) Chapter 59 recounts the trouble that the current Paul got into in Japan when his fingerprints did not match those of the original Paul McCartney. Throughout the book, you will learn to easily recognize their distinct physical differences, their personality differences, and the conspicuous differences in their singing and musical skills. You will also come to know the current Paul's inner-workings about how, even now, he deals with the identity-switch, and how he continues to work to please the Paul who has crossed over. Billy’s Back! is the epic of our hero, Paul McCartney, who entered the underworld, and then returned to us by taking possession of the session musician, William Shepherd ("Billy Shears"). This revealing fact-filled work of historical fiction reveals from William's own point of view exactly how the Beatles replaced Paul, what the secret messages really mean, and how you can be certain that they are true. The "Paul is Dead" story has been told before, but never so authoritatively, or with such details of how and why Paul prepared for it, how they made the switch, how and why William took over the band and the McCartney estate, and how the switch in the band improved The Beatles, but tormented them all, especially John and "Paul." When you know what really happened and why, you will never again harbor any doubts of Paul's death and replacement by William. In addition, as you learn the background of the songs cited, you will never again hear those songs the same way. This book will forever change your perceptions of those songs and of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, Donovan, The Who, and Elton John--all of whom made songs about Paul's replacement. Billy’s Back! includes the material from The Memoirs of Billy Shears that the public most wants to know of Paul's death and replacement, along with many other fascinating details from The Memoirs, without the Beatles philosophical attainments (See Beatles Enlightenment), and without their darker aspects, such as their Paulism (only available in the unabridged Memoirs). Billy’s Back! will forever change not only your view of Paul McCartney and the Beatles, it will change your view of the world.

Excellent read
This was an excellent read with much information for both the Beatles aficionado and the neophyte alike. Whether a red pill or a red herring, this work highlights just what is possible in our world today.

Loved it. I couldn't put it down. I find PID (Paul is dead) and PWR (Paul was replaced) fascinating. This book is based on PID. Good read, and lots of great info.

There's enough forensic evidence (voiceprints, height, earlobes dangling not attached, widow's peak post-1966) that there's definitely something going on here. Was James Paul McCartney replaced by Vivian Stanshall of the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band, a character played by Bill Shepherd (Shears)? I go in and out of thinking I know that answer for sure, but it does seem likely, and this book gives me a new appreciation and better understanding of Donovan, among other things. Here's a link to Billy Pepper (Shepherd) and the Pepperpots's album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb8zv...
And here are some selections from a book I wrote in 2016 called "Overgrown":
Not to mention the one about the original Paul McCartney dying in a car crash in November of 1966 and being replaced by a musically gifted Masonic plant named William Shepard, Sheppard or Shepherd. Being jaded seemed too much like hard work for Harry the shirker of arduous unrewarding labor of all sorts. Zetetic thinking kept him fresh.
But the middle-aged Harry understood clearly just how much of the Beatles’ mystique was shadow show, particularly after having understood that song ("All Together Now") for the first time ever as a metaphor for the accumulation, over time and repeated surgical modifications, of a passable replica for the late Paul McCartney. Or maybe none of it was true.
Harry wasn’t exactly a conspiracy theorist, but he’d found out recently about something called the “Mandela Effect,” having something to do with the CERN Large Hadron particle collider, whereby fundamental structures of reality were being altered in discernable ways, as in the spelling of brand names on cereal boxes. One camp swore it was the opening of a portal to hell, which didn’t sound like much fun. Maybe scientists were looking for a way out of here, Harry thought, having reportedly proven the existence of multiple realities. Or maybe not. Nothing ever held still long enough to allow definition.
There was all this evidence that Paul McCartney had died in an automobile accident in 1966 and been replaced by an extremely musically gifted Masonic double. Per this line, the other three Beatles had played along, being by this point too deep in the UK’s social engineering thicket to expose the deception except via clues in their lyrics and album covers. And there sure were a billion of those.
However that band was connected to whatever the secret government consisted of Harry figured they’d made that connection in Germany, where John’s art school best friend Stu Sutcliffe died of an undiagnosed brain tumor a year after being kicked in the head by some Teddy Boys in Liverpool, or John Lennon, depending whose speculation you go by, at this late date. After seeing a Paul is Dead YouTube clip asserting that Sutcliffe was one and the same with Andy Warhol, who came on the scene just as Stu disappeared, Harry was convinced all the more, if no less fundamentally doubtful of likelihood.
Besides which, one book Harry had read, which we’ll be coming around to later, identified at least twenty more clues no reporters or clue-bugs ever seemed to have noticed in the past, all of them completely plausible, and some more easily contradicted than others, as would seem to be the case with every fact, upon examination. Things like that kept him aware of reality’s boundless potential, no matter how the network news and internet portrayed it.
“All the world’s a stage,” said Billy Shakespeare. Nothing is real, said the Beatles. Reality was an imitative phenomenon. So Harry Punch had come to believe. He was expecting a lot from the unexpected.
“Paul McCartney?” protested Ramona. “Isn’t that some conspiracy theory from the sixties?” Ramona asked him once when he was talking about it. “What does it take to get you to doubt anything?”
“It’s not that I’m out to believe everything, it’s that I don’t believe anything for sure right away, so it all gets equal treatment to begin with. Because anything might be true, if you see what I mean. I admit I don’t know. It means process by inquiry, the continual ‘Yes, but . . .’ you know, how the Japanese do. They can never say ‘No.’”
Another band had formed in Hamburg a few years after the Beatles stopped playing its strip clubs, made up of disaffected American G.I.s under the direction of an eccentric German promoter, all of whom shaved the tops of their heads in traditional monk’s tonsure, and whose self-proclaimed mission was to be the “Anti-Beatles.”
They were possibly connected to something too, for all Harry knew. But he didn’t mention the Monks in that conversation with Ramona. https://www.amazon.com/Overgrown-Zack...

WTAF. I believe PID, firstly. There are too many coincidences for it not to be true, or at least partially true (something clearly isn't right, even if he didn't die- there's something not quite right). That said, Thomas E. Uharriet is a charlatan who should probably be sectioned for being mentally ill and also maybe sued by Paul McCartney for assuming his name to apologise to his kids (really- it's cringe-worthy and uncomfortable), not to mention the easily checked flat out misinformation he writes (yeah, I know plastic surgery was around in the 60s, but I don't think it was good enough to turn an Bill Campbell, who wrote a song for Elvis in the 50s and was at that time an old black man, into Paul McCartney). It's insane.
There is plenty of information out there on the PID conspiracy that is far more reliable than this bizarre, possibly illegal flight of fancy. I should have looked Thomas E Uharriet on twitter before buying the book. Don't buy this one.

Book key one. See acrostic encoding, key book two of the abridged digital series.
I want my review to be a bit cryptic as this page turning thriller informs and mystifies while it educates and entertains, moreover this historical fiction illuminates while obfuscating and brings the reader to the hearts of the two pauls. Whether you're an early Beatles, late Beatles or Wings fan or all of the above and you revere John George and Ringo the plot to rule the world continue. Can you fight Blue Meanies from your armchair? Maybe you might consider becoming the champion t hat overcomes the Red Barons too! Contact www.landmines.org if you can. I was unable to. Perhaps my connection?

The truth at last. William Shepard reveals how he Became Paul McCartney after Paul died in 1966. A must read for all Beatle fans and anyone curious to find out what Billy Shears thinks about in terms of continuing the facade.
The McCartney name is what the public buys whether it is Concert Tickets, Albums, or Clothing, for that matter. Will is really the very talented William Shepard who plays Paul.
The real Paul is dead.
