TLS signed “Yoko Ono” with a postscript signed “John Lennon,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Capitol Records letterhead, March 9, 1973. Letter to WBRU radio disc jockey Andy Simons. In full: “I’ve been wanting to write to thank you for giving me the airtime to talk about my new album, and to thank you for the attention you’ve paid ‘Approximately Infinite Universe’ since its release. I am very pleased with the positive attitude and remarks that have been the essence of reaction to the album in the U.S. and abroad.” Signed at the conclusion by Ono, with a short typed postscript which reads, “I agree,” signed by John Lennon. Intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through a single letter of Lennon’s signature), scattered creases, and a few tack holes, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, in part: “This is a rare typed letter on Capitol Records letterhead signed by both.”
On top of producing his wife’s album, Lennon had also played guitar and sang backing vocals under the pseudonym of Joel Nohnn, an anagram of John Lennon. Around the same time, he was busy meeting with George Harrison and Ringo Starr to block the release of a Beatles bootleg album Alpha Omega, which the band countered by releasing their red and blue double albums. Fabulous musical content from the famous couple. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL.
