First edition

Before John Lennon reunited with Yoko Ono, there was May Pang. Loving John: The Untold Story is Pang’s firsthand account of one of the most fascinating and complicated chapters in Beatles history—John Lennon’s infamous “Lost Weekend” of the 1970s. Pang wasn’t simply an observer. She was Lennon’s assistant, companion, confidante, and eventually his lover during the period when he was separated from Yoko Ono. What makes Pang’s account particularly remarkable is how the relationship began. According to Pang, Yoko herself encouraged her to become Lennon’s companion as John and Yoko separated. What followed was an approximately 18-month relationship that took Pang directly into Lennon’s private world—his friendships, music, drinking, family relationships, reconciliation with his son Julian, and life away from Yoko. Pang writes about Lennon not as the untouchable Beatle icon, but as the man she actually lived with. The result is a revealing, sometimes intimate and often surprising portrait of one of the most famous musicians of the 20th century. This is the original Warner Books first printing from August 1983, confirmed by the complete 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 number line—not a later reprint. It also retains the striking original cover proclaiming, “She was the woman who shared John’s love.” A terrific collectible for a serious John Lennon or Beatles collection, particularly for readers interested in the personalities and relationships behind the mythology.
