John Lennon
Imagine (40th Anniversary 180-gram 2-LP Box)
Capitol
Extremely limited 40th Anniversary box set containing "Imagine" on 180-gram vinyl remastered in 2010, Imagine Sessions EP on white Vinyl, the original poster and two postcards.
Imagine is the second album by John Lennon. Recorded and released in 1971, the album tended toward songs that were gentler, more commercial and less avant-garde than those on his critically acclaimed previous album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. The album is considered the most popular of his works. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine listed Imagine as the 76th greatest album in history.
The title track "Imagine" became Lennon's signature song and was written as a plea for world peace. George Harrison guested on a few of Imagine's tracks, including "How Do You Sleep?". The album was released on 9 September 1971 in the US and a month later on 8 October in the UK. Early editions of the LP included a postcard featuring a photo of Lennon holding a pig in mockery of Paul McCartney's similar pose with a sheep on the cover of his Ram album released earlier that year. It was also originally released in quadrophonic.
In 2000, Yoko Ono supervised the remixing of Imagine for its remastered reissue. It was reissued in 2003 by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab on gold CD and on 180 gram half-speed mastered vinyl. Another remaster was released in 2010. On 23 November 2010, Imagine became available for download for the Rock Band 3 video game, exploiting the music game's use of a keyboard.
The album went to #1 worldwide and became an enduring seller, with the title track reaching #3 in the U.S. (but unreleased in the UK until 1975). Like its title track, Lennon's Imagine became a posthumous hit worldwide. The album re-entered the charts during 1981, peaking at #3 in Norway, #5 in the United Kingdom, #34 in Sweden, and #63 in the United States. In February 2000, remastered and remixed edition reached #11 on the Japanese chart. In October 2010, the album re-entered the Billboard Top 200 at #88. The Record Plant piano on which Lennon re-recorded the album was sold at auction in 2007.
