Playlist: John Lennon - The Lost Weekend


This week Pattie Daley - one time girlfriend of Jessie Ed Davis - unearthed a treasure trove of photos she took in 1974 in LA. All 4 Beatles members are in various photos. They were taken during John Lennon's infamous "lost weekend" while he was separated from wife Yoko Ono. John worked on several musical projects during this time. Today's playlist features 10 tracks from this period. Load up you ipod, sync and enjoy.

I put "Ed Thrasher" into Image Search looking for album covers he designed, and this post appeared.
I was drawn to John Lennon in particular from the first time I became aware of The Beatles in 1963, and am still not 'over' his murder, and the loss of his subsequent contribution to music.
