Newsletter 44
Newsletter Hartlepool & District U3A New Year Edition, Issue 44, January 2021 Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Comments from the Chair First of all, greetings to you all and I hope you enjoy the festive period Things are definitely looking more optimistic for the new year with more vaccines becoming ready for distribution. I know that some of our members have already had their first jab, so things are definitely going in the right direction. It is important not to get too far ahead of ourselves as it will be a huge undertaking to get everyone vaccinated before we can return to something approaching normal life. With this in mind, the Committee has decided that we need to hold the AGM that has been held over since June. Obviously, we cannot have a face-to-face meeting so we will be holding a 'virtual' AGM on Friday February 5th 2021 at 2 pm. We will be sending out all the relevant documentation required in mid-January by email and by post to give you all plenty of time to scrutinise them. The virtual meeting will be held via Zoom and every member is invited to join. We want to encourage as many members as possible to join and we can offer help if you need it. Phil has kindly offered to help members who are new to Zoom the week before the AGM. Further details will follow. By the time you read this, the latest TAT newsletter will have been sent out and you can also book Introduction to Zoom sessions via a link in this latest edition.

ARSC Journal
Compiling a discography of the Beatles is probably among the most difficult of such tasks. Interest in this group is so intense, however, that the enthusiasm of fanhood has propelled many with little discographic experience to compile and publish any number of them, with, as might be expected, variable results. Yet much of the required discographic information is of the most ephemeral nature, "things everybody knows" for which the most accurate source is rumor, so even the more casual attempts can lead to establishing the truth or otherwise of some assertions. Complicating factors abound. First is the item recorded proper title, composer credits (often deliberately inaccurate for reasons of high finance), and actual composer. Then there is the recording history-when and where made, on how many tracks, extra personnel. Next is the information about the recording's dissemination, including sufficient data to establish first edition priorities. Manufacturer, country of issue, label name if different from manufacturer's, issue number (all applicable material from the prefix-body-suffix unit), mode (mono, stereo), format (LP, 45, 4-track 3 3/4 ips open reel, reel size, etc). Finally comes the packaging. An informed collector willing to purchase a first edition wants the whole item, not only the plastic. The original cover, label, and inner sleeve should be identified and inserts (posters, photos, calendars, etc.) fully described. Certainly those issues with extra or less sound information, or prominent differences in the mix, should be pinpointed. There have also been quite a number of items counterfeited (some still widely marketed as originals through retail outlets), and means for discerning them should be furnished.

HELP! Do You Want to Know a Secret? Paul Mccartney Is a Twin
return to updates HELP! Do you want to know a Secret? Paul McCartney is Twins by Miles Mathis First published April 20, 2016 As usual, this is just my personal opinion, based on private research Actually, I had help on this one. “A friend from Colorado”, as he wishes to be called, did some of the initial research on this, and did a great job. I was busy with other papers, and wasn't as interested in this subject as he was, so I gave him the hint and sent him off to look for clues and photos. As he said to me, “It wasn't as hard as I thought. As you have told us, the truth is hiding in plain sight”. Actually, it was my Elvis paper that solved this one for me. You may remember it was there that I gave all my readers the hint, telling them the solution to the Paul McCartney mystery was twins. As my Colorado friend put it after he figured it out: “all these people pushing the Faul theory must either be very bad researchers, or they are publishing purposeful misdirection”. I said, “It is mostly the latter”. As we saw with the JFK “assassination”, the alternative theories create just as much confusion as the mainstream theory, or more. But let's get right to it. Paul is admitted to have a brother Mike. He has gone by the name Mike McGear since the 1960s. But we are told Mike is 18 months younger. Problem is, Mike McGear looks nothing like Mike McCartney.
