Whoohahaha, the people of this website have way too much time. Read this:

On the end groove of the original pressings of the MMT album
(the shiney part just before the center lable)
there is a triangle with "I AM " in the center, ' I ' above the 'AM'.
Could this mean that I AM dead or I AM Billy Campbell?
Well, I looked at my other albums and did not find this "clue"
on the others until I (just by chance) checked out
Paul's first solo album and sure enough there was the SAME "clue"! Coincidence?
These clues are found on the original pressings
because I checked out later pressings
and they do NOT have the same etching's!!!
What does this mean ?
And, as we know, a triangle has three points
meaning the three live beatles ?????

Ha Ha!
I rather think you're looking at US pressings, where the 'IAM' indicates which pressing plant was used; in this case Scranton, PA. Most Capitol pressed LP's had/have a symbol etched into the dead-wax to show which plant pressed it:

. / \
. / I \ Scranton, PA
. / A M \
. -------
. \ | /
. \ | /
. ---- ---- Los Angeles, CA
. / | \
. / | \
. _____
. / \
. | | Jacksonville, IL
. | |
. \______/
. /|
. ___ / | Winchester, VA
. \ |
. \|

The above is a rough outline of the Capitol markings ('borrowed' from a US website of similar name!). Blast! Can't get the spacings to line up properly.....
Cheers,
Steve.
