The Beatles 'Abbey Road' album went to No.1 on the UK chart. The final studio recordings from the group supposedly contained clues adding to the Paul Is Dead phenomenon: Paul is barefoot and the car number plate LMW 281F supposedly referred to the fact that McCartney would be 28 years old if he was still alive. LMW was said to stand for Linda McCartney Weeps. And the four Beatles, represent; the priest (John, dressed in white), the Undertaker (Ringo in a black suit), the Corpse (Paul, in a suit but barefoot), and the Gravedigger (George, in jeans and a denim work shirt).
