An unusual call sent a Boston photographer to New York to photograph John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Forty-six years later, he\u2019s sharing the photos.<\/p>\n

In August 1980, after a five-year hiatus from recording and releasing music, Lennon and Ono returned to the recording studio in New York to begin work on what would become Double Fantasy, Lennon\u2019s final album. <\/p>\n

On the day of their return, Boston photographer Roger Farrington<\/a> received a call asking him to photograph the couple\u2019s first recording session in five years. He was soon on a flight to New York. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Farrington spent the day photographing Lennon and Ono.\u00a0The resulting images capture a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the couple months before Lennon\u2019s death in December 1980.<\/p>\n

Now, 46 years later, Farrington has published never-before-seen images from that day in a new book together with Beatles historian Kenneth Womack, giving fans a closer look at Lennon and Ono\u2019s return to the studio. <\/p>\n

Farrington will share his stories behind the photos with Womack and radio host Cha-Chi Loprete at the Folk Americana Roots Hall of Fame, housed in the Boch Center Wang Theatre, on Oct. 28<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Ahead, take a look at some of the photographs included in the book. <\/p>\n
