John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band Box Set Details Revealed

John Lennon’s 1970 ‘John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band’ will be given a major upgrade.

The new edition will feature 6CD with 102 new Stereo Mixes plus two Blu-Rays with 159 new mixes.

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band was John’s first solo studio rock album. He had previous released the live ‘Live Peace In Toronto 1969’ the previous year and the three avant-garde albums ‘Unfinished Music Vol 1: Two Virgins’ (1968), ‘Unfinished Music No 2: Life With The Lions’ (1969) and ‘Wedding Album’ (1969).

‘John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band’ was the album before ‘Imagine’ a year later.

Yoko Ono said, “With the Plastic Ono Band albums, John and I liked the idea of this really raw, basic, truthful reality that we were going to be giving to the world. We were influencing other artists, giving them courage, giving dignity to a certain style of vulnerability and strength that was not accepted in society at the time. It was a revolution for a Beatle to say, ‘Listen: I’m human, I’m real.’ It took a lot of courage for him to do it.”
