John Lennon. Gimme Some Truth
Eight of John's classic solo albums and other standout recordings have
been digitally remastered from his original mixes for a global catalogue
initiative commemorating the music legend's 70th birthday, which falls
on October 9.
Overseen by Yoko Ono, John's "Gimme Some Truth" campaign
will launch on 4 October (5 October in North America) with the worldwide
release of eight remastered studio albums and several newly-compiled
titles...
Double Fantasy, 1980's GRAMMY Award winner for Album of the Year, will
be presented in a newly remixed "Stripped Down" version remixed and
produced by Yoko Ono and Jack Douglas, co-producers of the original mix
with John Lennon. The new stripped down version of the album comes in an
expanded 2CD and digital edition pairing the new version with Lennon's
original mix, remastered.
The campaign's other new collections include a hits compilation in two
editions titled "Power To The People: The Hits‚" a 4CD set of themed
discs titled "Gimme Some Truth"‚ a deluxe 11CD collectors box with the
remastered albums, rarities, and non-album singles, titled the John
Lennon Signature Box. All of the remastered albums and collections will
be available on CD and for download purchase from all major digital
service providers.
Yoko Ono said: "In this very special year, which would have seen my
husband and life partner John reach the age of 70, I hope that this
remastering / reissue programme will help bring his incredible music to
a whole new audience. By remastering 121 tracks spanning his solo
career, I hope also that those who are already familiar with John's work
will find renewed inspiration from his incredible gifts as a songwriter,
musician and vocalist and from his power as a commentator on the human
condition. His lyrics are as relevant today as they were when they were
first written and I can think of no more apposite title for this
campaign than those simple yet direct words "Gimme Some Truth".
