Item # 730150 ·

NEW YORK POST, Dec. 9, 1980

  • John Lennon assassination
  • "The Beatles" front man
  • From the city of the murder
  • Nice headline for display

Here is one of the more desirable newspapers on the death of John Lennon - it being from the city where he was shot and died.
The dramatic front page announces: "JOHN LENNON SHOT DEAD" with subhead and photo. Much more inside including a double page pictorial. Nice for display. See photos for details. 
To anyone who grew up in the 1960's the death of The Beatles' John Lennon was a tragic event and the end of an era. Reports of his death are desired by collectors of many interests and are more uncommon than assassination reports of J.F.K.
Complete in 64 pages, great condition.

Background: This complete 64-page December 9, 1980 edition of the New York Post represents a highly coveted piece of 20th-century history, distinguished by its direct provenance from the very city where The Beatles’ frontman was tragically assassinated outside The Dakota. Visually striking with its bold front-page headline "JOHN LENNON SHOT DEAD," accompanying photo, and extensive interior double-page pictorial spread, this local coverage captures the immediate shock of an event that marked the definitive end of an era for a generation. Original local pressings of Lennon's death are significantly rarer and harder to find in complete condition than reports of JFK's assassination, making this pristine 64-page issue an exceptionally rare and desirable focal piece for vintage press collectors and Beatles enthusiasts alike.
