Publisher's summary

In 1969, a rumor erupted that Paul McCartney, “the cute Beatle”, had been replaced. Generations later, we see that the Beatles spent hundreds of hours making “Paul is Dead” clues but were required to deny it. What if “Billy Shears” really had replaced Paul and still plays that role today? How would he explain taking over the band?

The memoirs, from Billy Shears’ perspective, reveals his conflict with John but also his delight in working with “Fifth Beatle” George Martin. With a shared commitment to quality, innovation, and a global agenda, their work transformed the planet, leading us through a psychedelic revolution that changed how we see ourselves.

In July 2018 (28 months after George Martin passed away), his eldest son, Gregory Paul Martin, received an advance copy of the Nine After 9-09 Edition of the Memoirs of Billy Shears. He had known the Beatles’ original Paul since 1962 and still has dealings with “Sir Paul” today. Gregory generously found time in his overbooked schedule for this performance.

To record this significant book, he thought it fitting to use the original recording equipment that his father, George Martin, had used with the Beatles. Sitting at that same historic equipment to record the memoirs, Gregory sometimes felt that he, too, had become Paul. It felt uncanny.

Special thanks to sound engineers: William Shinker (British Grove Studios), Andy Cook (Red Planet Records), and Clint Ramon Harrigan (Ranch Trailing Post-Production).

The Memoirs of Billy Shears: Nine After 9-09 Edition is also available in hardcover, paperback, and as an e-book. Printed versions have footnotes, word-stacking, and the world’s longest acrostic. In the US, get the hardcover from www.BillyShears.com. Elsewhere, find the paperback via Amazon. Whatever you believe about Paul, let this performance take you on the Beatles fantasy of a lifetime. It is your ultimate magical mystery. With this view of the Beatles’ inner-workings, you, and their songs, may never be the same.

Great read!

Voice was amazing. The story was great at the beginning but, toward the end it was a bit bland. The number chapters and the "song" chapters could have been left out. Overall a great read!

Amazing...every time through!

This audiobook is very easy to listen to. The reading voice is very pleasant and realistic. This book is one I’ve listened to three times and going. It’s that fascinating. I highly recommend it as well as the hardcover, which includes even more than the audiobook. I have no affiliation. BillyShears.com to order hardcover accompaniment to this awesome audiobook. Hats off to Thomas Uharriet!!

Hard to believe it ISN'T true!

So detailed and complete... every clue explained and every debunked issue debunked, this is a must read for anyone who was ever intrigued by the "Paul is dead" theory. It's no matter if it's true... it's just a really fun book. Beautifully performed as well.

It’s not skipping

I’ve read reviews from people complaining about skipping, the recording is not skipping its back tracked with hidden backwards messages just like the Beatles albums

Tavistock inventions rarely fail unless it was...

Many of us have learned the intentional design and promotion of the British invasion as well as Laurel Canyon LA. Ca. pop-rock scene. These two inventions were Tavistock/MKULTRA programs: Bluebird, mockingbird, LSD, Drop Out Tune Out and Turn On.
History has peeled back the layers to expose these evil systems of clandestine operatives, secret society's, mystery religions, freemasonry, SRA, and the everyday manipulation of the masses. The Beatles were no different in this design and purpose but at the very least goats or dupes to be used and touted as rock gods. This collaboration of societies proves that a one world agenda has been in union to destroy free nations and Republics by eroding the youth of every western culture.
This book reveals a great deal about the lyrics and back ground of people involved but also exposes the satanic involvement especially the "Channeling" of supposedly James Paul McCartney into Billy Shepherd. This shows the darkness of people invovlved.
No one ever claimed that Rock N Roll was a godly pursuit blessed by the church, or that there was any virtue of morals but clearly the last days of the Beatles did shift into a dark side and this book explains that shift.
The fact that all British Rocker's were awarded in some way by the Queen for service to their country loyaties for music shows how much this agenda meant to the Elites agenda. Note: John Lennon did mail his medal back to the Queens office.

Well researched and entertaining

It’s obvious that Thomas Uharriet did a lot of research, has a brilliant mind and knows how to tell a story. This audiobook was filled with an extreme amount of facts with beautifully written fictional stories. George Paul Martin performed the book as if it were a great work of art, not just a story to tell. Some of the details were beyond anything that I would have considered. You don’t get all the amazing acrostics, Word stacking or footnotes that you would find in the printed version, but definitely worth the time to listen.

Time to RE-THINK what you THOUGHT you KNEW

Fascinating...Disappointing...in this instance I would have preferred to take the Blue pill. I don't need to see every magicians' trick...sometimes ignorance is bliss. The truth is getting tiring. Tiring and re-tiring truth...

On the flip side, a warm nod to Billy Shears for stepping in and up. The Beatles are still my favorite group...i don't feel compelled to compare the Pauls or the bands pre and post '66. I don't even care that Tavistock, or whomever, handed them songs for them to put their names on and slap on an album. I love the music...and now, knowing more of the story, and there is still so much that we have still to learn.

The large majority (and who cares really) will not accept this and will, like children, hold on to what they wish were true; stubbornly ignoring and evading truth. That's good though...every Shepard needs his sheep.

So, in summary, the story, though masterfully written, will not see many eyes nor touch many hearts, due to the controversial and 'absurd' story but to those that do, who are on the outside, appreciate the opportunity to look in. Also, a nod to Mr. Martin's fine delivery, and his inclusion and willingness to narrate should be a glaring signal of the validity of the story...he's George Martin's son...if it were not a truthful story, nobody could possibly think that Mr. Martin would allow his name to be attached.

If you've read this til the End, apologies for vomiting all of those nonsense words, but you deserve part of the responsibility as well, don't you? You've already made the decision, you just don't know it quite yet. And that's okay. It's okay. Enjoy. And don't.

J
