Instant Uncut Lennon
Beginning with the August issue, UNCUT will devote 4 covers to John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr-and probably in that order.

Janov also says he has an agreement with Yoko Ono only to speak in general about Lennon's treatment, but does say that he never hear John say, "mama don't go, daddy come home."

Also of note is discussion of the 10 hours of video tape shot by Tony Cox mad into a film entitled 3 Days In The Life, which has
been the subject of much legal wanking, and has never been released.
-
However, a person quoted in the UNCUT article says that most of the video is
unwatchable because Cox could not even hold the camera steady.

Also interesting is John's brief dalliance with a Black Panther leader, as well as
his association with the radical Red Mole underground paper.

lot slimmer. (Sometime In New York City immediately comes to mind.)

If you click on the scan above from the UNCUT article, you will read John's
reaction to McCartney's first solo effort, which is, to be kind, un-supportive. -
However, one can hardly argue that Macca's combined output from 1970 to
1975-the year John "retired"-is, on balance, not at least equal to, or perhaps even surpasses the Lennon releases of the same period.
