Take a tour around John Lennon’s old house

Amazing footage with Raw Studio Mix of ‘Isolation‘

On the eve of the released of the super deluxe edition box set of John Lennon‘s 1970 album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, fans can hear a ‘Raw Studio Mix’ of the song Isolation set to some remarkable video footage which takes the viewer on a tour of John and Yoko’s home in Ascot, Surrey in the early Seventies, Tittenhurst Park.

The film was shot on 16 July 1971, which is actually closer to the release of Imagine than Plastic Ono Band, but whose complaining? It’s a fascinating piece of history.
