Description

The celebrated producer seeks assistance in John and Yoko’s battle with US immigration

TLS signed “Phillip,” one page, 8.25 x 10, Phil Spector Productions letterhead, no date. Form letter, with Spector writing the greeting to “Jay,” reads, in part: “Enclosed is a report of the Immigration Department’s proceeding against John Lennon and Yoko Ono. If you wish to write a short note on their behalf, I have written out and attached the wording that can be used…As concerns Yoko Ono, this is an unparalleled act of political inhumanity since the custody of her only child is involved. The courts have granted Yoko custody of her daughter only if she raises her in the United States—Yet the government of the United States is trying to deport her!” Double-matted and framed with a photo of Lennon and Ono posing outdoors to an overall size of 23 x 15. In fine condition, with an office stamp and notation to lower right. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
