On December 8th, 1980, Annie Leibovitz arrived at the New York apartment building of John Lennon and Yoko Ono to photograph the couple for a cover of Rolling Stone. She urged them both to take their clothes off, a flashback to their first Rolling Stone cover, in 1968, when they appeared naked to promote their Two Virgins album. Ono declined, but Lennon was game, and stripped down before getting on the floor near their bed and curling up in a fetal position next to the woman he called mother. I remember peeling the Polaroid and him looking at it and saying, "This is it. This is our relationship," Leibovitz recalled. Hours later, Lennon was shot dead in front of the building. On January 22nd, 1981 this issue was published. This entire issue is in very good condition. The back cover has a quote from "Imagine."
