This is the original source for the film footage. Please click on this link and watch the entire video. Let's get the views up even higher for the great John Lennon. th-cam.com/video/qO0hijDNgo8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ARCTvFgwDoLhJaiY
Thank you for providing this link. Your superb narration in part 3 does it justice. For those who may not know, "Isolation" was released in 1970 on the first Plastic Ono band album. Isolation is not a personal favorite for me, on what was John's "self pity" album. Ringo and Klaus Voorman played on the album. "Working Class Hero" is likely the best known track, but there are a few other good ones... "Remember" and "I Found Out" - my opinion.
I'm American and never knew what they were called. And you're right, they seemed to be very trendy at the time. I've seen many photos of Paul McCartney and Pete Townshend wearing them in the late sixties.
Fabulous footage and commentary. I really enjoyed this. The video inside of John and Yoko's bedroom, I wonder if it was right after they first. moved in, given the general disarray, and also as the famed photos and artwork along the walls (they look like they're lined up below where they are to be hung on the walls). One can tell that John and Yoko probably spent most of their time in bed (which most us of already knew, LOL), as everything they might need over the course of a day and night (books, telephone, TV set, etc.) was surrounding the bed. This is probably why, as you noted in the video, they didn't bother to make the bed, they were only going to get back into it shortly! J and Y had quite a collection of fur coats (12:02). I'm guessing that one of these is the coat that John wore during the rooftop concert in 1969.
Thank you so much for watching and your kind feedback. This film footage was taken quite awhile after they moved in since the upper deck already had the railing and furniture and plants. But, yeah, I agree with you. They spent a lot of tie in their bedroom. A lot of creative people do. I'm in my bed right now. Shhhhhh. Don't tell anyone. :)
I loved seeing John and Yoko’s beautiful home , I really enjoyed seeing all the different rooms ( so many) that they lived in !! It’s always great to have someone who can explain all the different areas, arrangements, places where they lived in the house etc etc .. thank you Scott for all your help explaining all about the details and the way it was done !!!! I really love to see the rooms and you made it easier for me !!! Just want to say about the about the sweater of John’s ( I think they’re not the best in my opinion) but in Ireland and England they’re worn very often . My father , my uncle’s etc ( all from Ireland and my uncle’s from England) wore those weird sweaters . My dad came and moved in the States so he didn’t wear them as much , thank goodness!!! Thought you’d love to hear about the sweaters 😂😂🤣!!!!!!
The thin V neck sweaters were all the rage in 1970-72 especially in the UK and Ireland, and before the flamboyant clothing and bell bottoms came in later in 1973-5. The sweater also suited the simple image that they were projecting at that time with songs such as Mother, and later Imagine. The Beatles had already caught on to certain marketing techniques by the late 60’s.
I would’ve kept my mansion clean 🧽 if I had one!Here’s an update on Yoko Ono,Lennon….she has moved out of apartment in the Dakota in New York.She has moved to the Catskills in New York City.She has a big house,now,with over thirty two staff member’s living with her.And,where she thirty year’s old in the 1969-1970 film of;Imagine,she is now,90 year’s old,and she’s in a wheel chair.
A lovely mansion on the outside. john and Yoko did not keep it very tidy' Great footage of the mansion. I hope who lives there now has better taste in interior design.
Great pictures!! I was captivated by the footage of John and Yoko's bedroom - just INCREDIBLE! Aside from the TV you noted, there was a large radio on the floor near the left side of the bed, and just to the left of that, a film projector of some type on a table. I re-played that footage a few times! Important note: You did a fantastic job of giving the viewer a perspective of the location and layout of the rooms. I felt like I was walking through the bedroom. Oh, I agree that that weird piano may have been blocking a fireplace like the one John was in front of in the level below. The location would seem to fit from the upper/lower comparison. By the way, note John's pack of cigarettes to the right in the fire place shot. Keep these coming - LOVE them - THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for taking the time for the kind reply. I am so glad that you and others enjoyed it. The original footage moves kind of fast so I''m glad I slowed it down so people like us can see all the details and see stuff that normally would go unnoticed! You have great powers of observation. I noticed that John & Yoko seemed to have made a habit of covering fireplaces with furniture. They even did that in their bedroom in the Dakota. Maybe they had a phobia about fireplaces? Did you notice the TWO VIRGINS album on the floor? The "private parts" were covered by a piece of paper which makes me wonder if that was an accident or if they knew the camera crew was going through. But if so, why not just pick it up and move it? I know a lot of people like floor plans, so I'm glad I found an opportunity to share one of them. I'll show more in future videos. Thanks again for checking it out. I really appreciate it.
@@StrangeHistoryX Thank you for the kind compliment. I actually missed the Two Virgins LP on the floor. I replayed and now see it clearly at 7:02. Given John's penchant for controversy, it's too funny that he might have covered it for the reason you stated - but yes, why not just pick it up? So much detail to review. I love the details. I was shocked that here they were living in a historic mansion and their huge bedroom looked like a frat house after a night of drinking. I don't get it. Regarding the fireplaces - I think so and I suspect that John had many phobias. Fun note: As a grade school kid, I remember seeing the Two Virgin's album in a now defunct department store in the suburbs of NJ (about an hour from NYC) where I grew up. The records were kept in rack displays, organized by artist for customers to peruse. Needless to say, Two Virgins was not on prominent display. It was hidden behind the other Lennon albums. My friends and I laughed hysterically at them standing standing there with their "private parts" exposed (well we used other descriptive terms, but you get the idea) . Your comment sparked that memory, so had to share.
15:55 I guess is for "John Lennon - Man Of The Decade (December 2, 1969)" they shot a video from John and Yoko. John talks there were just nonsense things in that video. I don't know who didn't realize that being famous doesn't make you smart. In contrast, the video reveals intimate areas that John and Yoko themselves may not have wanted to share, despite the public's insatiable curiosity about the band. Thanks for sharing this video. Hoping one day you can make a video or some videos of the book of "the last days of John Lennon" by Fred Seaman.
A little bit of news to this guy that was probably born in 2000. That was Pattern and style of sweater (crewsneck) that was very popular in the early 70s. Watch the damn Brady bunch if you don’t believe me
I worked at John Lennon place in Ascot after it was sold to Arabs and unfortunately the Arabs had Marble Cladding on the exterior walls of the building and what a disaster it turned out it all had to be taken down you could have walked up the work it was that bad but I felt a presence about the place like John was still there amazing the boundary walls were a few miles long and big
I never knew Ringo owned Tittenhurst after John. Huh... Interesting. I think Johnny's sweater vest is very British, perhaps he was feeling cozy in it with his cuppa near the RAIDeeator (radiator!). 😂❤ Cool video ...
Bin ich die Einzige, die diese Mischung aus Herrenhaus und... Existenzialisten-WG bezaubert? Denn... genau diese Brüche machen John Lennons Charme doch aus. Hätte er es "klassisch" eingerichtet - für so einen Nobelschuppen wäre es meines Erachtens viel zu viel gewesen. John Lennon - Stil-Ikone Nummer Eins. Da geht auch der Sweater in Ordnung - eine Überraschung von vielen. Und, lieber Scott: Herzlichen Dank für ein weiteres hervorragendes Video. Greetings from Germany
It must’ve been nice 👍 to be living in a mansion?I know,you’d have to have a lot of money 💰 to do this,now!Never the less,it is very lovely,the mansion is!😊
Its a beautiful house. I was always somewhat surprised at how poorly it was furnished during the Lennon's occupancy. During the imagine film, it appeared as if the living room was vacant except for the piano. But when Yoko opened the windows, the light revealed a clear, inflatable chair and a clear, plastic podium. Just awful. How would you like to sit in that? The bedroom looks atrocious with junk strewn everywhere. Just an old mattress on the floor. The dining room table looked like it was taken from Jed Clampett. You might think they were 'house poor' but I don't believe money was an issue for them. They just didn't have any sense of decor.
The bedroom looks like every "crash pad" dump I visited in late 60s and early 70s. Usually occupied by drug users who were one step away from a visit by the DEA. Yeah, I visited, but thankfully never lived that way. Of course, that was ages ago.
The bedroom looks wonderfully personal. It's obvious they spent most of their time there with their favorite books and music. Several portable record players, a tv, a film projector, two telephones, obviously one for them each. Except for the scale, that's how my parents lived in the 70's, and many with them. I'd call it boheme chic.
One thing that stands out when I see pictures of the lennons living quarters is that they are very sparsely furnished. My home is the same way. Tell you what. Instead of quiveling over how to pronounce radiator, lets just call the whole thing off. Wow. They even kept pictures on the floor instead of the wall like I do. Holly crap I need to get a DNA test to see if were related. I wonder if this is what the Cream song, white room is about ? I bet they used the 16mm projector a lot. This was before VCRs.
If you enjoyed this video - and even if you didn't - I think you may enjoy watching my full-length documentary about Friar Park. th-cam.com/video/rB1TMlKn3Jo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Rmps8hdcszM9gzLF
I don’t mean to be rude but that bedroom looks as if they’ve just moved in & don’t know quite where to put everything yet. Definitely not the grand opulence I would expect to find inside their mansion 😳 I guess they were into minimalism perhaps 🤔
I just looked up what it looks like now and it's totally remodelled and nothing looks remotely like Tittenhurst. Looks more like a 1990s Marble and Granite Monstrosity in the english countryside. What a shame!!!!
This sweater that John was wearing - I don't know what it was called in English, but here in Germany this was called a "pollunder" - a sleveless sweater, which you would wear over a shirt. They were very fashionable in the 1970s, I had one too, at the time.

I wore those sweaters growing up in London through the 70’s, we called them ‘Tank Tops’ .
really? Tank tops in the US are made of cotton/tea shirt material. In the US, we call them sweater vests
I absolutely love that sweater and what he is wearing with it! It makes me feel all domestic bliss contentment and comfort. I want that outfit!
Great video I love John Lennon ❤
12:12 It seems like a hard case of Rickenbacker 325 beside the door.
Fantastic!! Excellent. Thank you!!
Those fair isle knitted vests were in fashion then. Actually not just fair isle style. A whole range of vest styles for men was on trend then.
I'm American and never knew what they were called. And you're right, they seemed to be very trendy at the time. I've seen many photos of Paul McCartney and Pete Townshend wearing them in the late sixties.
for women, too...I had some
@@tomcarl8021 sweater vests

I had one of those sweater vests, maybe more...they were great under a jacket in winter

There are quite a few photos of Paul wearing this type of vest sweater. I tink George wore them too.
also, the US...I wore them
I’d say the photo of John and Yoko was taken in the spring of 1970.Because,it look’s like an early 1970”s photo in this video.😊
Interesting..Thank you.🕊👍🕊

Here is California we say raid-e-a-ter :). That video of inside the house was a great find! One thing...seeing a carpeted bathroom makes me cringe.

sweater vests--crew necks are fully sleeved sweaters with a round neck
I worked at John Lennon place in Ascot after it was sold to Arabs and unfortunately the Arabs had Marble Cladding on the exterior walls of the building and what a disaster it turned out it all had to be taken down you could have walked up the work it was that bad but I felt a presence about the place like John was still there amazing the boundary walls were a few miles long and big
I bet the sweater was a gift from a family member - lol. Love the video thanks for posting. I think the photo at 15:53 is from December 1969.
Yes! It looks like something that Aunt Mimi might have given to John for Christmas. LOL
I never knew Ringo owned Tittenhurst after John. Huh... Interesting.
I think Johnny's sweater vest is very British, perhaps he was feeling cozy in it with his cuppa near the RAIDeeator (radiator!). 😂❤ Cool video ...
I had a sweater vest like that and I am American..Not sure why people are saying they are British/Irish and acting confused

Greetings from Germany
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you. Thanks for watching.
Why didn't they display their pictures?😊

Yeah, he did not need mental stimulation since Lennon was so incredibly creative so Minimalism certainly worked for him. :)
There is a difference between minimalist living and living in a disorganized mess - which was certainly my impression of the bedroom.
Im going to guess that Yoko bought those clothes for John and made him wear them LOL 🤪 Unless that was the fashion back in 1971? 🤔🤔
If you enjoyed this video - and even if you didn't - I think you may enjoy watching my full-length documentary about Friar Park. th-cam.com/video/rB1TMlKn3Jo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Rmps8hdcszM9gzLF
ok, my dear, their hair is not SHAVED off...it is cut super short. UNLESS, did they really shave their heads first?
I don’t mean to be rude but that bedroom looks as if they’ve just moved in & don’t know quite where to put everything yet. Definitely not the grand opulence I would expect to find inside their mansion 😳 I guess they were into minimalism perhaps 🤔
I agree in the 60’s John and the Beatles in general were super cool but his early 70s look was lame lol
Except maybe George. Paul’s 70s look was not good w that weird haircut. The 70/80s style hasn’t aged very well
I worked on this mansion after it was sold to Arabs it’s right nr Ascot racecourse
I just looked up what it looks like now and it's totally remodelled and nothing looks remotely like Tittenhurst. Looks more like a 1990s Marble and Granite Monstrosity in the english countryside. What a shame!!!!

me too!!!!!...In the US, they are called sweater vests
...me too, also in Germany! My mother chose it and as a kid I already felt how uncool it was...
Didn't they have cleaning people, Not impressed.
