Per festeggiare il 50° anniversario della pubblicazione di “John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band”, verrà pubblicata una versione deluxe del disco, con 6 CD e due Blu-Ray contenenti 159 brani. Nella raccolta sono comprese anche 87 registrazioni inedite, oltre a un libretto illustrato, che aggiungerà altro materiale oltre a quello contenuto nei CD e nei Blu-Ray.
Un cofanetto che ogni fan di John Lennon non può lasciarsi scappare, in cui possiamo trovare i demo, le jam session, i commenti e le idee dell’artista, sapientemente raccolti da Yoko Ono, per portare l’ascoltatore all’interno del processo creativo di questo storico album.
Il cofanetto sarà diviso in quattro parti: Ultimate Mixes (i nuovi mixaggi dei brani), Outtakes (le versioni grezze), Elements (parti dei mix originali inedite) ed Evolution Documentary, ovvero la descrizione dei singoli brani da parte di John Lennon.
Il primo disco di John Lennon fu pubblicato nel 1970 e segnò l’inizio della carriera da solista dell’ex Beatles. Da quel momento la sua carriera prese il volo e pubblicò alcuni brani che diventarono parte della storia della musica come “Working Class Hero”, “Mother”, “Isolation” e “Remember”.
