Re: Misprint from: kissfaq.com user spacecat
I e-mailed Michael Doret a few pictures of the album in 2010 to ask him if there was any story/significance behind it-his reply is below-I posted a portion of this before on the FAQ a few years ago, but couldn't find the link-so I just pasted it in:

"First of all I can tell you that what you have in that photo is an inferior printing of the cover because there should be an impression of silver ink in certain areas, and I can see that one of those areas that appears in your photo (Paul's eyelid) is printed in black halftone instead. So the first clue is that the printing was clearly done on the cheap.

As far as those controversial "tears" are concerned, I'm sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but what you're looking at is just a flaw in the printing. There must have been something on the blue printing plate (perhaps some dried ink or whatever) to have caused that anomaly. I've seen similar printing mistakes many, many times. If someone had actually intended to draw tears, they could not have done a worse job than that! They don't look like anything other than what I said—a flaw in the printing. They just happened to have appeared in a spot that allowed people who wanted to see something, to see what they wanted. Remember the whole brouhaha with the Beatles and the whole "Paul is dead" nonsense? This is the same thing. Utter nonsense. But I'm sure my saying this will not persuade anyone to the contrary, if they still want to believe!"
