    5.0 out of 5 stars Happy Christmas Fun!!! :-)

    This CD is perfect to keep around for a Christmas morning with three punchy tunes to start the day. You get the Imagine instrumental only if you load the disc into your PC and take a look at the picture gallery, but that is a nice addition to a small group of songs each with a simple message. I also couldn't help but note that the CD starts with Yoko wishing Kyoko and John wishing Julian a Happy Christmas. Think of it as a warm bit of music to help get you through the winter.

    This CD contains three of John Lennon's best and most inspirational songs. The song 'Happy Christmas (War is over)' is amazing a should be on everyones X-mas play list.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new, but who needs something new
    Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2004

    This would make for a poignant holiday musical card. Cd cover always one of my favorite Lennon/Ono and group photos. The message and music remain as relevant today as yesterday. There's nothing one can write here that is new, just that this is a nice re-packaging of Lennon's music. Like the other reviewer said, nice music to play on Christmas morning, which I did since buying this cd (I often times would play 'Imagine' on Christmas morning before going to my family's house for Christmas long before this collection was released).

    Why four stars? Because there are two more songs that I would have placed on this disc. First, and most obvious, 'Give Peace A Chance'. It would have been a perfect fit with the concept of this cd. And second, I would have included 'The Luck Of The Irish' from 'Sometime In New York City'. Why? Well, like 'Instant Karma' it digs a little deeper in a different way. Not as idealistic and peacenick (I use this word in a positive way) as 'Happy Xmas' and 'Imagine' and would bring a necessary dimension (especially since it would be so unexpected, and I think a pleasant surprise to those who hadn't heard it or appreciated it before), with its obvious political digs, it had an edge, again, like 'Instant Karma' brings in its directness and rawness. Also, I think 'Sometime In New York City' both a relevant and an important album/cd today.

    'Luck Of The Irish' is perhaps the 'truest' duet that Lennon and Ono did. Lennon's lines are cutting while Ono's are quite poetic, a great coupling. Ono's 'We're All Water' and 'Born In A Prison' are as good as anything Dylan or Lennon wrote. Perhaps 'We're All Water' is of the same caliber as Dylan's 'Blowin' In The Wind'.

    Anyhow, this is about this cd not 'Sometime In N. Y. C' and I'll only say it's a good collection to have. If nothing else, for just having it in the house and playing it on Christmas morning.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The only disc that features the longer version of Instant Karma (We All Shine On).
    Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2020
    I recently heard a version of INSTANT KARMA on the Sirius XM Beatles channel, and noticed the vocals were different, and the song clocks in at 3:39 as opposed to the 3:19 single version. After doing a bit of research, I found the only way to get this extended version of INSTANT KARMA was to buy this 3 track CD single which also features Happy Christmas (War is Over) and Imagine. Not an easy find, but worth it for Lennon completists.

    Not only did this product take a long time to get to me, but the cd only had 3 songs on it. What a rip off. I like the song "Happy Christmas", but not that well. I feel like I should get a refund due to misrepresentation of this product.

    Not bad...., It's a good CD overall. Yoko (if she plays on it) is in the distance thank God! John makes himself a big part of this CD. It may not be for everyone, but I still liked it!

    Reviewed in Japan on February 12, 2004

    DVDのLennon Legend用にお金をかけてリミックスリマスターしたので、ついでにCDも出して小金を稼ごうかな、、といった安易な企画物です。いずれの曲もイエローサブマリン ソングトラックのリミックスエンジニアとして一躍有名になったピーターコビンによるリミックスですが、この３曲をオリジナルプロデュースしたフィルスペクター独特のモコモコとした薄いベールを被ったような耳に優しい音の壁を取り除き、今風なキンキンとしたクリアーな音に変化しました。私的には余計なリミックスで音の定位をいじったりせず、レノンとスペクターが当時に聞いた音を素直にリマスターするだけで良いと思います。酷いことにオリジナルプロデューサーのスペクターの名前はジャケットにクレジットされずにリミックスをしたコビンがクレジットされております。音のことですが（１）は今まであまり聞こえず気にならなかった洋子のバックコーラスがクリアーにはっきりと聞き取れ問題有りです。（２）はスペクター独特な浮遊感が薄れ、人によって賛否両論のリミックス（３）のような思いきったリミックスは大賛成です。オリジナルはフェードアウトするのですが、ここでは演奏終了まで完璧に聞け感激モノです。
    結論、、、コレクター向けです。私もコレクターですが、ただのコレクションとしてのみ入手しました。その程度です。
