(Wednesday, October 17, 1973) — Ex-Beatle John Lennon began recording songs for his Back To Mono project today at A&M Studio in Hollywood, recording his favorite oldies with producer Phil Spector. An atmosphere of chaos pervaded these sessions (which ended Dec. 14, 1973) and only the first four tracks listed would eventually see release on the Rock ‘N’ Roll album released by Apple in Feb. 1975.
