John Lennon's German deportation documents ... December 1960.

The first is just a residence permit and the second is an application to extend the residence permit. Normally you would have needed an "Arbeitserlaubnis" or work permit to be allowed to work. Unless they had special rules for musicians back then. All that red tape used to be a thing of the past for Brits until some clowns decided Brexit would be a good idea.

Two members of Cheap Trick had been at the Record Plant recording Double Fantasy with Lennon.
Bun E. Carlos and Rick Nielsen.
Bun E. Carlos asked him to sign one of the recording documents and he signed it To Bunny.
