5.0 out of 5 stars Last Performace & Original Mixes, November 13, 2007

This review is from: Lennon Box Set (Audio CD)

I'm a Lennon fan on a budget so I was thankful to find this set at an affordable price seeing I already have most of these songs. First this set contains (to my knowledge) the only CD release of Elton John and John Lennon's 3 performaces at Madison Square Garden. These also happen to be Lennon's final on stage appearance where he blasts out Paul's 'Saw Her Standing There'!

Secondly this 1990 set has the original pre-remastered mixes, not a big deal but I did notice that the remastered Lennon albums do have slight off the chart peaks when looking at their wavforms...in reagards to the Loudness War. This a great set, better than Working Class Hero and Legend in my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have In Your John Lennon Collection, May 29, 2007

This review is from: Lennon Box Set (Audio CD)

This is a very comprehensive collection of John Lennon's solo career...With even a few live performances thrown in for good measure...One is the coveted Beatles "Come Together" and "Whatever Gets You Though The Night"...For good measure for a John Lennon tribute Elton John sing "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", which Elton does in his own way, and hits the song spot on...This compilation will not leave the listener wanting for more, because sadly there is no more since his tragic death...The Beatles will live forever in music history and John Lennon will always be a part of music history...

5.0 out of 5 stars Imagine... The Perfect Collection!, September 2, 2009

This review is from: Lennon Box Set (Audio CD)

This was a VERY limited edition release in 1990, and I snagged my copy right when it came out. Good thing I did, because it disappeared in a hurry and as far as I can tell it's never been reissued. Get this one, and at this time there are some pretty reasonable used prices here, and it's the only John Lennon collection you will ever need.

Here's all you need to know: 63 tracks on four CDs. All the hits, plus lots of great album tracks and some non-album songs too. Plus, you get some live treats from the 1969 Toronto Peace Festival AND John's final live performance, with Elton John at Madison Square Garden. For that last reason alone, this is worth having.

It's a beautifully packaged set that comes with a nice booklet featuring the lyrics to the songs, and lots of great pictures. The sound is pretty good too. I remember thinking this collection sounded a lot better than other Lennon collections I had prior to this (such as the Imagine movie soundtrack).

There's other nice rarities collections of John's music that are certainly worth having, but this is the definitive, essential collection to have. Hard to believe I bought this almost 20 years ago, and equally hard to believe John's been gone for almost 30. At least I'll always have this set to remember him by.
