The album, which was originally released in 1975, appears now with four bonus tracks and a new selection of b/w Lennon photographs in the booklet.

The bonus tracks are: « To Know Her Is To Love Her » and « Angel Baby, » both remastered, « Since My Baby Left Me, » a never-before issued version of the track included on Menlove Avenue, and a reprise of « Just Because » with an alternative ending and a very special Christmas message to Paul, George, Ringo, Yoko and the British people. Yoko was inspired to include this version of the track for all Lennon fans across the world.

Rock ‘n’ Roll paid tribute to Lennon’s teenage idols, including Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Ben E. King and Buddy Holly. Sessions for the album began in LA in 1973 with Phil Spector producing. Lennon returned to the album and completed it the following year, retaining three tracks produced by Spector.
