Paul McCartney helped Lennon set up his "home studio" in the attic at Kenwood, with its set of daisy-chained tape recorders; this he used for song demos, or sometimes experimental music and effects. Boyhood friend Pete Shotton would visit on weekends (during the week he ran a supermarket on Hayling Island, owned by Lennon and George Harrison), and the two collaborated on experimental recordings, creating tape loops and sound collages. (Some of these were later used in Two Virgins; Lennon's first collaboration with Yoko Ono.)
George Harrison had an Ampex four-track recorder, which he used for song demos at Kinfauns (his home in Esher); sometimes all The Beatles were present, particularly when they began work on the "White Album".
Recording Vocal Comedy
The song "Imagine" by John Lennon was recorded at the Record Plant Studios in New York City. The recording sessions took place in 1971, with Lennon working alongside producer Phil Spector. The studio's relaxed atmosphere contributed to the song's iconic sound and heartfelt message.
John Lennon
No. In fact, they had a strict rule that no wives or girlfriends were even allowed to attend recording sessions. John Lennon ultimately broke that rule with Yoko Ono, but she was not welcome either.
John Lennon, who also played lead guitar on the recording.
It didn't. McCartney, Harrison and George Martin were annoyed by Yoko Ono's presence in the recording studio (and especially her speaking up during sessions), but many other factors led to their breaking up.
it took place in 1996
No, they never did. A few years before John Lennon's death, they were considering collaborating again, but sadly it never happened. :( The closest thing to a Lennon-McCartney recording was "The Ballad of John and Yoko" on which John and Paul played all the instruments.
John Lennon
Yes, John Lennon played harmonica on Frank Ifield's version of "I Remember You." This collaboration took place during a recording session in 1962. Lennon's harmonica part added a distinctive touch to Ifield's rendition of the song.

No. The song was written by Ben E. King (who originally recorded it), with Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller.
