Monday 9 April 1973 | John Lennon, Party
On 9 April 1973, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr attended a private Capitol Records party held in Los Angeles.
The gathering was hosted in honour of Capitol Records president Bhaskar Menon, and took place at his private home, bringing together key figures from The Beatles' post-breakup professional orbit.
A Rare Post-Beatles Reunion Setting
By 1973, the former Beatles were increasingly active in separate solo careers, making joint public appearances rare. Events such as this Capitol Records party were among the few occasions where multiple members appeared together socially after the group's split.
The presence of Lennon, Harrison, and Starr alongside Yoko Ono reflected ongoing industry relationships between the former bandmates and their US record label connections. Read more about the individual members on our John Lennon history page.

Capitol Records had been The Beatles' long-time US label during their career, handling the majority of their American releases throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, the company remained closely tied to the individual members through their solo work and Apple-related releases.
