• Track Listing

Lennon riveted Beatles fans and transfixed critics with the emotionally raw set of songs he released soon after the band broke up. Released in December 1970, "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band" rose all the way to #6 even as it took its place as one of the most enthralling singer-songwriter albums ever made: "Mother," "Love," "Hold On," "Working Class Hero," "God," "Remember," "I Found Out," "Isolation," "Well Well Well" and more. For its 50th anniversary, this landmark album has been completely remixed from the original multi-tracks at Abbey Road by Grammy-winning engineer Paul Hicks (as overseen by the producer of this project: Yoko Ono). You’ll hear those new Ultimate Mixes on CD here (which adds the non-album singles "Give Peace a Chance," "Cold Turkey" and "Instant Karma!," all as Ultimate Mixes, which are faithful to the original mixes but with enhanced vocal clarity). The 180-gram double-vinyl edition brings you the Ultimate Mixes of the original album plus Outtakes: alternate takes of all 11 songs on the original album, presented in "rough listening mixes." This 2-LP edition comes in a gatefold sleeve with a booklet and "War Is Over!" poster. The 2-CD edition brings you the Ultimate mixes AND the Outtakes of the 14 songs on the single CD (original album plus the three singles). That leads us to the eight-disc boxed set. There you’ll find everything in the 2-CD version plus Elements mixes of the 14 songs (which highlight elements that were buried in the original mixes), raw studio mixes of the 14 songs and of additional takes of "Mother," "I Found Out" and "God," the "Evolution Documentary" on CD (a fly-on-the-wall journey through rehearsals, studio chatter, recordings and multitrack discussions) and an abundance of home/studio demos and jams: the album songs plus "Johnny B. Goode," "Ain’t That a Shame," "Get Back," "Honey Don’t," "Mystery Train," "You’re So Square," "You’ll Never Walk Alone," "Irene," "Matchbox"…even an "Elvis Parody" medley! Finally, the big box features 2 Blu-Ray discs: all the tracks (all mixes, demos, jams…) in stereo 24/192, Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround plus Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono band live sessions including "Touch Me," "Paper Shoes," "Who Has Seen the Wind?," "Remember Love," "Why," "Why Not" and more. A 132-page hardcover book full of copious notes and photos, two postcards and the "War Is Over" poster round out this colossal expansion on an absolutely crucial John Lennon album. Capitol.
