This was inspired by Daryl's recent cover of John Lennon's demo of the song "India" in the "Busking 3 or 4 Chord Songs" thread.

I remember that a little while after John left us, there was a weekly hour-long syndicated radio show playing John's solo demos.

It was really wonderful stuff, with a lot of narration by a buddy-buddy of Yoko.
The show was called "The Lost Lennon Tapes" ... there was a lot of PR hype around it, like it was discovering King Tut's tomb or something very mysterious.
Anyway, it went on for months and I loved it, never missed one. After some weeks of this, the local radio announcer who introduced the program said "Man! He sure lost a LOT of tapes !".

I also vaguely remember seeing a very large collection of vinyl records with this title in a used record shop way back when.

So it just hit me that I could try a YouTube search about this subject.

If you stick the following text in YouTube search, I hereby certify that I am not responsible for the consequences. Please say goodbye to all your loved ones before you do this :blink:

Here is the magic text: the complete lost lennon tapes

Farewell ?
