First posthumous Lennon album, mixing five EMI 45 cuts and six album ones with six from "Double Fantasy" on Geffen. As DF was rather new and still in the shops at this time I don't understand why so many was picked from that. To my taste the cuts that was used as CD bonus tracks later - "Cold Turkey" and "Move Over Ms. L" - could have been on the original instead. Otherwise this works just fine for me. It has quite a few tracks in common with "Shaved Fish" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/11/john-lennonshaved-fish-pcs-7173-75.html , leaving out "Woman Is The Nigger Of The World" and "Cold Turkey" but also adding his excellent "Stand By Me" cover, the single remix of "Love" and the uncut version of "Give Peace A Chance", which on "Shaved Fish" was divided into two segments. So both collections have their advantages and best kept together. The audio here is very good, maybe a little smoothened in comparison to the originals, but still providing enjoyable listening. Issued and reissued all over the world on all possible formats. First UK on Parlophone (EMTV 37), US on Geffen (GHSP 2023) as a fifteen track, omitting "Stand By Me" and "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)". EU 1994 CD (Parlophone 7 91516 2) came with the seventeen track version plus the two aforementioned as bonus. First Dutch had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover with picture/lyric inner.
