Notes


There’s not much to say about this set. It presents Jan Wenner’s tapes from his infamous interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The interview was conducted at Allen Klein's office at 1700 Broadway in New York City on December 8, 1970. Wenner caught the couple at a time when the breakup of The Beatles was still fresh and acrimonious, Plastic Ono Band was first released, and John and Yoko’s emotions had been laid bare through intense primal scream therapy. The lengthy interview was published in Wenner’s Rolling Stone Magazine in two installments in early 1971. Lennon later repudiated some of his more venomous statements in this interview and always decried the fact that Wenner published it in book form under the title “Lennon Remembers.”
