Good interview but not the "last major" one!

Great interview, but not the "last major interview" by any means. Playboy conducted this in September 1980. But John and Yoko did major interviews a couple of days before (BBC with Andy Peebles, available both in audio and book forms) and the day of (RKO radio) John's death in December 1980.
