Personally compiled and curated by Yoko Ono, Imagine John Yoko is
the definitive inside story - told in revelatory detail - of the
making of the legendary album and all that surrounded it: the
locations, the creative team, the artworks and the films, in the
words of John & Yoko and the people who were there. Features
80% exclusive, hitherto-unpublished archive photos and footage
sequences of all the key players in situ, together with lyric
sheets, Yoko's art installations, and exclusive new insights and
personal testimonies from Yoko and over forty of the musicians,
engineers, staff, celebrities, artists and photographers who were
there - including Julian Lennon, Klaus Voormann, Alan White, Jim
Keltner, David Bailey, Dick Cavett and Sir Michael Parkinson. 'A
lot has been written about the creation of the song, the album and
the film of Imagine, mainly by people who weren't there, so I'm
very pleased and grateful that now, for the first time, so many of
the participants have kindly given their time to "gimme some truth"
in their own words and pictures' Yoko Ono Lennon, 2018 In 1971,
John Lennon & Yoko Ono conceived and recorded the critically
acclaimed album Imagine at their Georgian country home, Tittenhurst
Park, in Berkshire, England, in the state-of-the-art studio they
built in the grounds, and at the Record Plant in New York. The
lyrics of the title track were inspired by Yoko Ono's 'event
scores' in her 1964 book Grapefruit, and she was officially
co-credited as writer in June 2017. Imagine John Yoko tells the
story of John & Yoko's life, work and relationship during this
intensely creative period. It transports readers to home and
working environments showcasing Yoko's closely guarded archive of
photos and artefacts, using artfully compiled narrative film
stills, and featuring digitally rendered maps, floorplans and
panoramas that recreate the interiors in evocative detail. John
& Yoko introduce each chapter and song; Yoko also provides
invaluable additional commentary and a preface. All the minutiae is
examined: the locations, the key players, the music and lyrics, the
production techniques and the artworks - including the creative
process behind the double exposure polaroids used on the album
cover. With a message as universal and pertinent today as it was
when the album was created, this landmark publication is a fitting
tribute to John & Yoko and their place in cultural history.
