ABOUT THE RECORD Imagine, by John Lennon, reached #1 on Billboard 200 and was certified 2x platinum. Recorded and released in 1971, it tended towards songs that were gentler, more commercial and less primal rock than those on his previous album, the critically acclaimed John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. The album is considered the most popular of his works. Imagine was written and recorded during a period of particularly bad feeling between Lennon and former band-mate Paul McCartney, following The Beatles' break-up the year before and McCartney winning his case in the High Court to have their legal partnership dissolved. Harrison guested on half of Imagine's ten tracks, including the brutal How Do You Sleep? ? a song written in retaliation against McCartney's alleged personal attacks on Lennon and Ono, on the recent Ram album. Early editions of the LP included a postcard featuring a photo of Lennon holding a pig, in mockery of McCartney's similar pose with a sheep on the cover of Ram. Imagine, backed with It's So Hard, was released as a single, in the US, reaching #3 in the US. The front cover was a Polaroid taken by Andy Warhol. The back cover photograph was taken by Yoko Ono. A quote from Ono's book Grapefruit (which the Lennon's were in the process of promoting the re-release of in the UK) was also included on the back cover: "Imagine the clouds dripping. Dig a hole in your garden to put them in."
