{WORKING CLASS HERO – THE DEFINITIVE LENNON
TO BE RELEASED OCTOBER 4
MOST COMPREHENSIVE LENNON COLLECTION TO DATE 2 CD SET COMMEMORATES THE 65TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS BIRTH
Capitol Records will commemorate the 65th anniversary of John Lennon’s birth with the October 4th release of Working Class Hero – The Definitive Lennon. The double CD set, Executive Produced by Yoko Ono, will offer the most comprehensive collection of Lennon’s hit singles and key album tracks to date – 38 songs in all, with a combined playing time of over two and one-half hours.
Born in Liverpool, England on October 9, 1940 and assassinated in New York City just over forty years later (December 8, 1980), Lennon rendered a vision of life that was simultaneously reflective, utopian and poignantly realistic. Reflecting his social activism (« Give Peace A Chance, » « Power To The People, » « Gimme Some Truth, » « Woman Is The N#### Of The World »), idealism (« Imagine, » « Mind Games, » « Instant Karma! »), his hedonistic « lost weekend, » as he called the 18 months he spent separated from Yoko Ono in the early 1970’s (« Nobody Loves You When You’re Down And Out, » « Whatever Gets You Thru The Night, » the rollicking duet with Elton John that gave him his first #1 single as a solo artist), and the happiness he found in later years as a self-described « househusband, » (« (Just Like) Starting Over, » « Watching The Wheels, » « Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy) »), Working Class Hero – The Definitive Lennon captures him in all his complexity.
Mastered from the most up-to-date sources, the collection includes material from John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (1970), Imagine (1971), Sometime In New York City (1972), Mind Games (1973), Walls and Bridges (1974), Rock ‘N’ Roll (1975), Double Fantasy (1980), Live In New York City (recorded in 1972, but not released until 1986) as well as numerous singles and tracks from Milk and Honey (1984) and Anthology (1998), the posthumous collections of Lennon’s unreleased recordings.
