Video: 'The Beatles Tapes John Lennon Interview Pt.2 Oct. 1971 David Wigg RARE'

(Friday, October 15, 1971, 12:30 p.m. EDT) — Former Beatle John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, were interviewed today by David Wigg for the BBC Radio 1’s Scene and Heard at the St. Regis New York hotel, 2 East 55th Street, Manhattan, New York City.

On The Beatles break-up, Lennon said: “It’s just natural, it’s not a great disaster. People keep talking about it like it’s The End of The Earth. It’s only a rock group that split up, it’s nothing important. You know, you have all the old records there if you want to reminisce.”
