Imagine John Yoko
John Lennon/Yoko Ono - Book - by John Lennon/Yoko Ono
(2018)
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 Features 80% exclusive, hitherto-unpublished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.
