In November 1965, the pair decided to head straight for the source of the music that inspired them\u2014Liverpool, England\u2014with the intention of playing a few gigs of their own and figuratively taking a dip in the River Mersey.<\/p>\n<p>As Jack recalls, the cheapest means of travel at that time was by tramp steamer, which he and Leonetti boarded as the sole passengers with one-way tickets.\u00a0It took nearly three weeks, but the two eventually arrived in Liverpool carrying only their guitars and amplifiers, and small suitcases with the<a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/music-publishing-essentials\/\"> bare essentials<\/a>. They certainly didn&#8217;t have visas or work permits, and were almost immediately detained by immigration officials onboard the ship.

Immigration officials finally granted them student visas, and the duo spent some time seeing bands, buying records, and sending stories back to New York.<\/p>\n<p>They achieved quite a bit of notoriety in England, referred to in the papers as the &#8220;crazy Yanks.&#8221; They even shared front-page space next to The Beatles who had just put out a new album. Their time was up, however, when they were detained and deported back to the United States after being caught playing in a band.<\/p>\n<p>Years later, Jack was now a junior engineer at the Record Plant transferring tapes in an editing room during John Lennon&#8217;s <em>Imagine\u00a0<\/em>sessions. He was far from the &#8220;action,&#8221; but thrilled to even be adjacent to his favorite Beatle just a few rooms away. About a week into the sessions, Lennon himself walked into the editing room, asking, &#8220;Do you mind if I just sit in here for a little bit?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A star-struck Jack Douglas was now in the same space as his hero who he had stowed away on a ship to catch a glimpse of years before. An awkward 10 or 15 minutes passed while Lennon stayed in the room\u2014presumably to get a break from Phil Spector\u2014and Jack worked on edits. Finally, he mentioned that he had been to Liverpool before, and after a short exchange Lennon recognized Douglas as one of the &#8220;crazy Yanks&#8221; from the newspapers. That same day, Lennon invited him into the session for <em>Imagine<\/em>, asking chief engineer Roy Cicala to give Jack something to do.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_46053\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46053\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-46053 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"441\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8.jpg 700w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-600x378.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-80x50.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-320x202.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-270x170.jpg 270w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-238x150.jpg 238w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-40x25.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-160x101.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-640x403.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-670x422.jpg 670w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-540x340.jpg 540w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-16x10.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-476x300.jpg 476w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-14x9.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/8-385x243.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-46053\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Jack Douglas at the Hit Factory, New York.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Such was the start of a relationship that would continue until Lennon\u2019s death.
