John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band was Johns first post-Beatles solo album so interest was high to see what he would do with his newfound creative freedom. The answer shocked the world. Gone was any florid instrumentation or psychedelia as on Sgt. Peppers or the kind of jaunty rock and abstract poetry of the bands final album, Let It Be, and in its place were deeply emotional, profound, autobiographical songs about being abandoned by his mother and father, the loneliness of stardom, his dear Yoko and the end of the cultural revolution. Soundtracked by simple and sparse instrumentation and minimal yet majestic production, Lennons voice pierced listeners hearts like never before as he revealed his true self. It marked his true birth as a solo artist. The album reached the top 10 in both the US and UK, despite the absence of a major hit single. 2LP gatefold edition includes a second LP of outtakes. All mastered at half-speed, pressed on 180gm vinyl, with a booklet and WAR IS OVER! poster.
