What Are You Listening To?

[SteveO]

Very nice collection mate ! I have all of his albums and tapes of his solo stuff where he is singing and trying to write new songs ! I still can't believe he is no longer with us !

JOHN LENNON "lennon" 4cd boxset,1990.

this boxset was released in 1990 and for the time was quite expensive,thus it failed to make any impact on any albums chart anywhere and was quickly deleted.
but can still get the odd copy online...amazon recently had it for well over 200pounds($300 AU/US)...luckily i got this one when it was released.
it contains almost all of Lennon's studio recordings as a solo artist...including the full "plastic ono band" and "imagine" albums...the best thing about this set is that there are no Yoko tracks, so on disc 4(which is the one i listened to last night) you get to hear the entire "Double Fantasy" and "Milk And Honey" albums minus the Ono songs which is absolutely wonderful IMO.
the actual disc cover of this one is shown above and is the one in the top left hand corner of the four on the right hand side of the page...!
this disc(disc 4), shows the talents of a man re-emerging after five years in the wilderness full of hopes,dreams,love,innerpeace and obviously looking foreward to the next stages of his life, but as we all know now, this was to be the final chapter of his short life.
just two tracks on here that i do not like and most of which that i love...but i guess we'll never know now just how much more he had to offer the world of music....RIP JOL, you are truly missed!

while i have the boxset out, i will be doing the other three discs over the next week or so.....
