The Lost Lennon Archives

Unique and personal photographs taken by May Pang during the years that she lived with the ex-Beatle, 1973—1975

Description

Between 1973 and 1975 John Lennon enjoyed the greatest period of solo success of his post-Beatles career. Yet that time is commonly referred to as his ‘Lost Weekend’ and he is portrayed as being an out-of control drunk.

As the photographs in this unique book prove however, John Lennon was remarkably happy and healthy during that time. They were taken by Yoko Ono’s former assistant, May Pang who had been charged by her boss with keeping the ex-Beatle ‘happy’. Clearly, she did—much to Yoko’s eventual displeasure.
