The year 2018 marks 50 years since John Lennon and Yoko Ono began working together in 1968 and presenting artworks to the world.
The numerous works and activities of these two artists, who were so ahead of their time that they have gone largely unappreciated, will be reevaluated from a contemporary perspective.
The first and last chapters of the book provide a summary of The Beatles in 2017 with photographs and data.
Also includes a long interview with Ringo Starr, who released his new album "Give More Love" in 2017!
