Product Description
Customer Reviews
OK, rant over, I'll get to the important thing - the music. As far as John Lennon compilations go, this is probably the best one, as it has pretty much all of the great songs. There is room for more, but this is John Lennon we're talking about, so there would always be room for more.
The best thing about this album is that songs aren't missing that can make uncomfortable listening (for example 'Mother' from the first solo album), and there are other great songs of the kind that made that big paranoid icon of American hypocrisy, the FBI, investigate him as a subversive, like 'Working Class Hero', spitting venom at society for it's oppressive values.
The love that he felt for his wife and son is evident too. Long gone are the early Beatles lyrics about teen angst, and a deeper love become the subject matter. 'Woman' and 'Beautiful Boy' sit next to each other wonderfully, John wearing his heart on his sleeve for these songs.
I could go on and on, but the best thing would be just to listen to the CD and lets the songs speak for themselves.
These are the single edits of the hits that made the charts and some that didn't. If there was any one album that covers Lennon and his magic (it's impossible), this is as close as one gets.
If you are a marginal Lennon fan, this is your CD. If you are a completist, you already have all these songs. It is nice, however, to have them all one disc - even if there are only twenty masterpieces.
