Short haired couple

 

This autographed photo is currently up for auction on ebay.    It is an interesting item for sure.  The signature is believed to have been signed by John in 1975 during the Helping Hands marathon.  That does not explain why someone wrote 1974 (summertime) on the back of the photo.  The explanation given was that photo itself was taken in 1974 and the person got the autograph on the back in 1975.  That sounds good if you were someone who didn't know Lennon history.   Obviously the photo was not taken in 1974.   In the summer of 1974 John and Yoko were separated and while they still were in contact with each other, they most definitely were not photographed together.   Any photos of John with a woman from the summer of 1974 would have been May Pang.   Plus John and Yoko didn't not have short hair in 1974.   This is the look they had when they were growing their hair  back after cutting it all off in early 1970.   This is more the "Power to the People" time period.
