BRAND NEW    STILL HAS PLASTIC AROUND THE LP
Paul Is Live is a live album by Paul McCartney, released in 1993 during his New World Tour in support of the album Off the Ground. Its cover is based on the cover for the 1969 Beatles album Abbey Road and contains multiple references to the "Paul is dead" conspiracy theory.

  • The infamous "LMW-281F" on the Volkswagen Beetle's license plate is mis-read as "LMW-28IF", and purportedly says thatLinda McCartney Weeps and that McCartney would have been 28 if he had lived – is edited to read "51IS", indicating that he is alive and his age at the time was 51.
  • McCartney is wearing shoes; on Abbey Road he had appeared with bare feet, while the other Beatles had shoes. This lack of synchronization was viewed as an eyecatch to the hoax.
  • He is stepping with his left foot. In the original cover, McCartney was stepping with his right foot, instead of the left like the other three Beatles; this is another misperceived lack of synchronization.
  • He holds the dog's leash in his left hand; since he is left-handed, many thought that another clue of the "dead Paul" fromAbbey Road was the cigarette he held in his right hand.
  • On the original Abbey Road cover, many conspirators[who?] said that if one were to connect all of the cars on the left side with a line, the line would go through Paul's head, representing the car crash that supposedly killed him. On this cover, Paul is leaning forward, and his head falls out of such line.
  • The police car - said to symbolise the policemen who had been bribed by the other three Beatles to keep quiet about Paul's death - has been removed.

The dog appearing on the cover is Arrow, one of the offspring of Martha, the sheepdog that was the inspiration for the title of the song "Martha My Dear". The cover photo is from the Abbey Road cover photoshoot by photographer Iain Macmillan. There are differences between this and the photograph used for the Abbey Road cover; most notably, the taxi present in the Abbey Road cover photograph does not feature here. The retouching was done by CGI artist Erwin Keustermans, who erased the Beatles and put in McCartney and the dog, taken from 35 mm pictures by Linda McCartney.
