    Happy 70th Birthday John Lennon! What you did in the years you made music can never be matched. Your message is still strong and I hope one day the whole world will listen to your music.

    Plastic Ono Band has to be the most overlooked and under-appreciated album of all time.

    Beautiful, raw emotion.

    One of the greatest. People do associate his solo stuff more with "Imagine" and "Double Fantasy", but I love "Plastic Ono Band". "God" is genius.

    No prob. I played this for youngster this weekend and he loved it. I bet theres a bunch of this you've never heard before. Its just all demos and alternate takes. Cool different versions of the classics. And some rare ones in there too. Enjoy!

    Awesome. The SFF sounds similar to the Anthology version but it's not the same one. I think Imagine is from the John Lennon Anthology box set, but I'd have to listen to them back to back. Can't wait to listen to this later.

    Dear Prudence is a masterpiece

    I wish PJ would cover more John Lennon

    Beatles album: Rubber Soul

    Love the song, "Out the Blue". Such an underrated Lennon song.

    Me too. I'd love to see the band cover "Yer Blues" and Eddie cover "Across the Universe".

    My vote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmcPgmvLd3s

    It ain't fair, John Sinclair
    In the stir for breathing air
    Wont you care for John Sinclair?
    In the stir for breathing air
    Let him be, set him free
    Let him be like you and me

    They gave him ten for two
    What else can the judges do?
    Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
    Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
    Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
    Gotta, gotta, gotta set him free

    If he'd been a soldier man
    Shooting gooks in Vietnam
    If he was the CIA
    Selling dope and making hay
    He'd be free, they'd let him be
    Breathing air, like you and me

    They gave him ten for two
    What else can the judges do?
    Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
    Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
    Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
    Gotta, gotta, gotta set him free

    They gave him ten for two
    They got Ali Otis too.
    Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
    Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
    Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
    Gotta, gotta, gotta set him free

    Was he jailed for what he done?
    Or representing everyone
    Free John now, if we can
    From the clutches of the man
    Let him be, lift the lid
    Bring him to his wife and kids

    They gave him ten for two
    What else can the bastards do?
    Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
    Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
    Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
    Gotta, gotta, gotta set him free

    Hard to believe that it's been 35 years since John left us.

    R.I.P. John. You changed the world for the better.
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    He died 2 months and 4 days after I was born. Been listening to his albums over the weekend on Spotify.

    As Tom Petty wrote on the liner notes for Hard Promises, "We miss you, JL."

    Beautiful, raw emotion.

    It is fantastic.
    I can't find a good one for a decent price anywhere (although haven't looked for a few months now).

    One I find underrated is How? from Imagine. Such a beautiful ballad from John.

    Aisiumsen (I'm Sorry) is another under appreciated gem.
