How do you figure this one? Five years ago, finally, Lennon's catalog was getting remastered...I thought. Capital/EMI released a remixed/remastered Plastic Ono Band on October 10, 2000. Great, I thought, sounds great, can't wait for the rest of the albums to get the treatment. Shouldn't be long, I thought. After all, we're getting up there in age. Not a lot of time left...Well, here it is five years later, and there still putzing around with Lennon's catalog. Two of Lennon's albums STILL haven't got the remix/remaster treatment (Sometime In NYC & Walls & Bridges). Sometime certainly wasn't John's finest moment, but it still deserves the same treatment as the rest of the catalog gets, and Walls & Bridges...well, the wait is just ridiculous.Instead, we get this. What, I'm supposed to buy this fourth or fifth rehash of a Lennon "best of" because it's got remixes of some of the non-album singles or for the remixed Walls & Bridges cuts? You bastards!!!! You haven't sucked enough money out of the Beatles' music? And I don't even mind you sucking the money, but can't you give us some decent product in return?I'm pissed about the handling of Lennon's catalog, Harrison's catalog and the Beatles' catalog. That's it. For 4 human beings who had some integrity when this music was orginally recorded, well, this is not very fitting to their memory, I guarantee. There is so much that could be done (for the fans, the ones who will continue to spend money on this product) that is not being done, and so much that is being done that needn't be done. Sad, very sad.

Quality of this album is great and has all of Lennon's solo hits! Thankfully, no songs by Yoko Ono!

the selections are very good songs, but the cd itself was defective. So far no replacement yet. I hope it will be resolve soon. Pablo Paguia

I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING MUSIC FROM JOHN LENNON MORE THAN HALF MY LIFE. HE IS NEVER DISAPPOINTING. HIS COLLECTION OF MUSIC STILL REMAINS ON TOP AND RELEVENT EVEN TODAY. IN MY OPINION LENNON HAS THE BEST ROCK AND ROLL VOICE. HIS RANGE IS AMAZING. EVEN IF YOU HAVE MOST OF HIS LIBRARY OF MUSIC, HEARING ONE GREAT TUNE AFTER ANOTHER IS STILL MIND BOGGLING. GET THIS CD, GET THIS CD FOR YOUR FRIENDS, OR SOMEONE WHO IS STARTING TO GET INTO THE MUSIC OF THIS GENIUS. ONE COULD ONLY IMAGINE, WHERE HE STANDS ON THE POLITICS OF TODAY.

Last track and disc 2 doesn't work, "Grow Old With Me" straight from package into computer. Would be 5 stars if not for that

As a Christian I can't give it 5 stars. Some of the songs are atheist. But I do enjoy a lot of the other songs. To those I give 5 stars!

lo unico que me dejo intrigado es el hecho de saber si en realidad es importado...porque hasta donde vi ...NO

Muy buen material. Excelente disco

As a Beatles fan, I came to this album by accident. I already have one Lennon collection - The John Lennon Collection - which was pretty good for a single cd but I was looking for more and was considering buying one or more of the original albums, e.g. Plastic Ono Band or Imagine. The previously mentioned collection lacks depth and doesn't include great songs like "Working Class Hero" or "Gimme Some Truth" (heart felt and powerful lyrics a Dylan would be proud of). Both these classics are on this collection, with a whole lot more besides. I have no hesitation in recommending this compilation to someone who has heard Lennon songs they like but never bought one of his albums - I can't pretend to be an expert on his solo material but this is a pretty impressive collection. There isn't a bad song on this album (I'm even beginning to like "Starting Over" after all these years) and some very, very good ones. Some songs surely need no introduction (e.g. "Imagine" or "Jealous Guy") but "Instant Karma" always gets me going (who said McCartney was the one who came up with the catchy tunes!)and "Watching The Wheels" is a poignant expression of someone who is fed up with playing the same old tired games rather than a cop-out in my opinion. "God" is still a powerful defence of freedom of thought and refusal to bow to fundamentalism all these years down the line (I dunno why but it seems all the more relevant today). And I think, on this latter point, that's one of the things that makes Lennon great - his relevance in an age that relevance has become a dirty word, something to be discarded with the faded dreams of the hippie revolution. What makes him relevant still is that despite the "dreaming", this idealist always had a hard-edged pragmatic side and a biting sense of humour. A strong man who wasn't afraid to write songs about love - "Love" is simple but still touching and a million miles away from the popstar formula writing of, say, "She Loves You". As tracks like "Scared", "Isolation" and "Cold Turkey" show, just like Dylan JD was never afraid of introspection or baring his soul. Maybe this is why he inspires more love in his fans than McCartney - we like our heroes to have feet of clay. A lot of it is in the feeling in the singing - I'm a Roxy Music fan but Lennon's version of Jealous Guy is so much more real than Ferry's, even though it's not actually a bad version of the song. For Beatles fans, there is a live version of "Come Together", albeit with a bit of a barbed introduction from John. This non-Lennon expert got some of the lesser-known gems he was looking for (songs like "Oh My Love", "Intuition" and "Mother" for example. And it has all the expected classics too, such as "Woman", "War Is Over", "Give Peace A Chance" and "Mind Games".

A really fine compilation as it weaves together songs from different periods in Lennon's post -Beatle life.The old favourites are there ,previously released on other compilation albums, interspaced with select album cuts.Ending poignantly with the original Real Love and the tender Grow Old with Me. But four stars as it lacks most 1974 -5 output from Walls and Bridges, Menllove Ave. and nothing from Rock and Roll..And Meat City should be on it..

Lennon has many 'best of' compilations, most of them single CDs so some songs that his fans love don't always make the cut. The exception is this compilation. A double with all Lennon bases covered. If you want a clean up of the former Beatles best solo work, this is the album to buy.
