John Lennon’s 1971 ‘Imagine’ Completion Party Remembered

John Lennon may have been the host with the most if this raw video footage tells the tale correctly. After wrapping up sessions for his seminal ‘Imagine’ album in July of 1971, the newly ex-Beatle and his girl (that’s Yoko to you!) threw a mega party to celebrate.As the Gothamist points out, the party was held at the home of the notorious Alan Klein and with a stellar list of guests, the shindig was caught on film by Jonas Mekas, a friend of John and Yoko’s. Rubbing elbows, and possibly more, were the likes of Miles Davis, Phil Spector, Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol, and Ringo among many others.
