The Lost Lennon Tapes

The Lost Lennon Tapes was a weekly one-hour radio show that ran on the Westwood One Radio Network from 1988-1992. It was distributed to stations each week on two LPs (except the three-hour premiere show which was on five LPs). It was also broadcast on their satellite feed Mondays from 7:30pm-8:30pm Pacific Time. The original theme of the show was to air unreleased recordings Lennon had made. Those recordings were bootlegged onto a 35-volume set of LPs on Bag Records (3), and also onto a 22-volume CD set, both of which omit the interviews, commentary, and repeated airings of the same recording. John & Yoko's longtime friend Elliot Mintz was the host of most episodes in the series. When it ended in March 1992, it was followed up by a series called The Beatle Years, which was distributed on CD.
