Nate D. Sanders Auctions are offering up some more cool Beatles memorabilia Thursday (Sept. 24), including the band's first known color recording, a three-and-a-half minute video of the band playing in the ABC Theatre in Blackpool, England, as well as several previously unreleased photos of John Lennon just two days before he was shot in 1980.
The photos show Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono during what would be the couple's final interview conducted by DJ Andy Peebles of the BBC in New York's legendary recording studio the Hit Factory. BBC photographer Paul Williams took the shots of what is now known as the Last Lennon Tapes. The photos come courtesy of a press release via Nate D. Sanders auctions.
A foam cup of coffee sits on the table in front of Ono with milk and sugar close by, along with a Pepsi can in front of Lennon as well as an ash tray and a couple carton's of cigarettes for the interview. Even now, you can tell Lennon doesn't have much affinity for interviews with the press, but he's being a trooper and sticking it out. They aren't the most iconic photos you'll see of the legend, but they're fun to analyze.
