Do I count at least three coffee makers on the back counter?

 

I read that they had a storage room packed to the gills next door to their apartment

assumed this might be it

you are right the windows are all wrong

there is a creepy third figure in the 2V, looks like John again

 

Is this one on Bank Street?

 

Yoko: "(Regarding) the 'Two Virgins' photo with another person standing beside us. The only one I know is the one that a professor sent to us at the time, saying he liked the Two Virgins photo idea so much that he joined in. He was standing naked in the picture next to us! John thought it was funny, I didn't like it that much. The professor looked just as 'au naturel' as us, meaning, you knew he came from the preGym generation! Other people probably must have done it, too. This one the professor sent us was a huge photo -the size of a large poster- with a decent frame around it. I don't know where it went. We lost it."

I believe this is their Bank Street apartment.

 

This is Ascot (note the Mr. Kite poster on the wall)

 

Ascot again?

doubt they would have that much room there for a bathroom this size

note the "security" camera over the tub

pretty primitive for someone of such means

 

the shirt is a give away too

 

I know this is circa 1978-79. But everything about this picture screams "preppy family 1988." Either that or John and Julian had the jump on the Joy Division look.

 

The Dakota is a very exclusive building but what stands out to me is how normal their place looks. Large but not particularly fancy. It's a reminder that the 70s was well before the phony luxurification we see everywhere these days, and of how different New York used to be.

 

John and May probably knocked that turntable off the wall a few times

in his bachelor pad

 

floor plan?

 

It is Tittenhurst Park...

probably Ascot
notice the curved windows

here's a better shot of the Three Virgins

 

Looks like the room on the right of this picture...

 

and the Piano scene from Imagine was shot in the adjoining room

 

Good photo crash.

"Hi, ya'll...it's the Cleveland Show!"

 

Funny!

 

Who is the naked guy with them in the Two Virgins cover photo? Talk about early naked photo bombing?

 

I saw this one in a magazine close to 30 years ago, it's surely one of my favorites.
