You're just the most trustworthy person on here PC!

Paul is trying to get his hands on the stuff, whatever it is.

How about THIS for a find then!!!!



It's obviously Preludin (better known as "prellies" as Marshall said) - you can clearly see "UDIN" printed on the side of the packet that Pete is pointing to!

Just read about these today in Shout!

Oh, that's brilliant.  

dang al you are worth your weight in prellies....lol that means george has a vial too....
such cleen lads these beatle boys..george looks prelled out too...
but did it say where the pic was snapped????i only believe its the burg.....i am not sure maybe chazz knows....

if bruno took it,it is the burg and if he did watch out he might kick your a** for using it....without consent...

nevermind it is the burg!!!...the drug was probally invented by sausage gob boys desendants and pimped by hitler...too many facts there also..no morals intact in the beatles for a big 1....and the garb....alll the evidence is in....next case....who procured this evenings dose?

Are both packets being held up for the camera by John?

Interesting! I'm pretty sure that's a George hand on the right. Paul's clowning also indicates George might have one, since he's packetless and looking that way.

Wow, I'm pleased I came across this topic.
This photo is on the cover of the French book by Eric Krasker that I mention from time to time.I've always wondered what they're holding.
Krasker doesn't say, but in his methodic way he does give details about preludin.He says it's the commercial name for phenmetrazine hydrochloride and was invented in 1954 by a German company called Boehringer Ingelheim KG.It was supposed to help you keep your weight down and lose appetite.But it included some amphetamine and was mainly used by the musicians to stay awake.It was sold in tubes of twenty.Stu Sutcliffe was the first to take it.It can become addictive and give stomach ulcers and circulation problems.

Incidentally, it's more than probable the photo was taken in Hamburg.

that fact was requated by me earlier....

Quoted from zipp

Try as I might, I can find no such word! Come on PC, don't leave us on the edge of our seats. What the f*ck are you talking about?
