Biography

If John Lennon had only been one of the four members of the Beatles, his artistic immortality would already have been assured. The so-called "smart Beatle," he brought a penetrating intelligence and a stinging wit both to the band's music and its self-presentation. But in such songs as "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)," "Rain" and "In My Life," he also marshaled… Read more in Amazon's John Lennon Store

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The song "Imagine" is so much a part of our culture, it is impossible not to feel something for the album that shares its title. It's also difficult to remember that there are other great tracks here: "How Do You Sleep" is fascinating in its pure, unadulterated bitchiness towards Lennon's former bandmate Paul McCartney, while "Jealous Guy" is undeniably sweet. It is at times brilliant, but Imagine is hardly the greatest and most important album ever. So why bother re-releasing it? Well, it's been "remastered and remixed", but don't expect reworkings by Orbital or Mint Royale (not a bad idea come to think of it), because this Imagine sounds pretty much the same as it ever has. The thing is, it's now so steeped in history, will anyone really judge the songs on their own merit, or just decide to like them because they've been told they should? --Emma Johnston

5.0 out of 5 stars The very best of John's work that was officially released, 18 Dec 2000

Craig Duckham (Dartford, Kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Imagine (Audio CD)

In my opinion this is the best album of alll that John released. However, a lot of his best (Most intelligent, obscene and provocative work) was never released, so i also recommend his anthology which is also great. But to really appreciate the work which has gone into the album you must see one of the two docu-films: Gimme soime truth or Imagine they are a true reflection of his great effort and skill

5.0 out of 5 stars Imagine - The best John Lennon ablum, 4 Oct 2003

"beckycorr" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Imagine (Audio CD)

I first heared this when I was 17 and thought it was the best John Lennon album ever. Every song on this cd has has great stories behind them. My personal faves are Cripped Inside, Jealous Guy, How Do You Sleep and the wonderful Imagine. John's voice sounds great and he had showed himself to be bigger and better then the rest of the Beatles. Cripped Inside happens to the song I listen too when no one cares, I feel Cripped Inside alot these days. Jealous Guy is a sad but cool song. How Do You Sleep makes me laugh. This is John having a pop at Paul....real class! Imagine is outstanding! This is my all time fave John song and no one esle could sing it....

So if you wanted to get any John ablum....then buy this! Believe me, this wont let you down ( get it!!!!!!!!!!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great album, but....., 29 Feb 2000

David McCarthy - See all my reviews

This review is from: Imagine (Audio CD)

their aren't enough great tracks to make it a real classic. That's not to say that this album doesn't have some classic tracks, Jealous Guy, Gimme Some Truth, Oh Yoko! and of course Imagine itself are some of Lennon's best but I feel it's dragged down by some lightweight tracks such as It's So Hard and I Don't Want To Be A Soldier. On a whole, the remastered Imagine is an album that any Beatle or Lennon should have, it's never sounded this good before and is far better than some of the trash that's around today.

A more listenable and commercial record than John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, Imagine has perhaps been over-defined by the title song. Read more
