John Lennon Eight Vinyl Disc Box Coming Soon

The John Lennon collection will soon be available as a vinyl box set.

John Lennon’s eight solo studio albums, remastered from their original analogue masters, have been newly cut to vinyl from 96k digital files for Lennon, a new 9-LP boxed collection on heavyweight, 180-gram vinyl with faithfully replicated original album art. To be released June 9 by Capitol/UMe, the collection’s albums are all out-of-print worldwide on vinyl, with the exception of previous LP remasters of Imagine and Rock ‘n’ Roll which are in print in the United States. Lennon is the first complete collection of John Lennon’s solo studio albums to be released on vinyl, and the individual LPs will be released on Friday, August 21.

The albums were remastered from John Lennon’s original mixes in 2010 by Yoko Ono and a team of engineers led by Allan Rouse at Abbey Road Studios in London and by George Marino at Avatar Studios in New York. The new vinyl masters were cut by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios and the LPs have been manufactured for the world by Optimal Media in Germany.

Each of the Lennon collection’s LPs is an authentic reproduction of its U.K. original, in its sound and visual presentation. In keeping with the original album artwork, Imagine contains reproductions of its two postcards, poster and inner bag, Some Time In New York City includes reproductions of its original postcard and inner sleeve, Walls and Bridges includes its sleeve with two fold-over flaps, an eight-page booklet and inner sleeve, and Mind Games, Double Fantasy and Milk and Honey also include reproductions of their original inner sleeves.

The remastered albums were released worldwide in 2010 on CD and for download purchase from all major digital retailers. The John Lennon Signature Box, released that year to commemorate Lennon’s 70th birthday, is a deluxe, 11-CD and digital collection of the eight remastered albums, plus rare and previously unreleased recordings, and an EP of Lennon’s non-album singles.

When John Lennon released Shaved Fish on 24 October 1975 in the UK, it marked the end of one era and the beginning of another. The album arrived just as Lennon withdrew from the public eye to focus on family life, following the birth of his son Sean Lennon earlier that same month. It was also the final record he would release on Apple Records before the label shut down, making Shaved Fish not just a greatest-hits compilation, but a symbolic farewell to a turbulent chapter in his solo journey.

When the John Lennon Estate announced the release of the Power To The People deluxe box set, much of the attention naturally went to the remastered tracks, rare recordings, and newly unearthed video content. But among the archival treasures is something far less conventional—a quirky, avant-garde experiment called Clock. Filmed by John Lennon in 1971 during the creation of Imagine, Clock is as much a window into Lennon’s restless creativity as it is a document of the day-to-day rhythm of his life with Yoko Ono.
