While his bandmates recorded "I Me Mine" and overdubs on "Let It Be" and "For You Blue" in London, John Lennon saw in 1970 with his wife Yoko, her daughter Kyoko, and Kyoko's father Tony Cox in Denmark.
The Lennons spent New Year's at the farmhouse in Ålborg, and held a press conference on January 5th to satisfy the curiosity of reporters wondering what they were doing in Denmark.
Another recording supposedly from this press conference features John and a number of people singing the Danish hymn, "O Kristelighed". Here's a composite recording from a good source and an atrocious one.
Finally, here's a snippet from a cassette sold by Tony Cox containing John and Kyoko improvising stories and songs, presumably recorded during this Danish visit.
Is the pic really from Denmark in January?

ReplyDeleteI mean the leaves semm to be pretty gren for mid-winter, don't they?

Good point. On the other hand, John's hair is still very short and he's wearing gloves and a rolltop sweater and jacket. Maybe it's from March or April?
ReplyDeleteIsn't this a colourised black & white photograph? NONE of the colours look natural to me.
DeleteYes, it does look over-saturated. Perhaps those leaves were brown, after all.
