Notes: John & Yoko allowed Yoko`s ex-husband, Tony Cox to videotape them over a few days going about the daily activities.
The existence of these tapes only came to light in the late 1990`s when Tony tried to auction them off.
Samples of the footage were shown on the internet and eventually 8 minutes of the very bad quality black and white footage found its way onto Youtube.
Reportedly over 9 hours of video was filmed. In 2000 a consortium of three people purchased the tapes off Tony Cox but then claimed the tapes were stolen.
In 2007 a 2 hour edited version was to be "premiered" at a university in Maine but a court order issued by Yoko prevented its screening.
Yoko, claimed that she had purchased the tapes from the consortium in 2002.
The judge agreed with Yoko that she now owned the full copyright to the tapes and they have remained unseen,
locked away, in the Lennono archives ever since and are unlikely to be ever seen again.
