Los Angeles - 4. March 2021 - From the haunting sound of funeral bells to the emotional lament on the opener “Mother,” it was clear that John Lennon's first studio album as a solo artist was nothing like his previous work. John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band was recorded in 1970, shortly after the end of the Beatles. On the album, John stripped away all the trappings and made room for a kind of creative exorcism, an almost unbearably honest striptease of the soul that contained more than just a revelation. The inspiration came from the primal scream therapy that John and his wife Yoko Ono conducted with Dr. Arthur Janov. With the minimalist Plastic Ono Band – with Ringo Starr on drums, Klaus Voorman on bass and producer Phil Spector – John faced his demons on the most personal album of his career, proclaimed his love for his wife, judged false role models and buried a dream. Today, the album is considered the absolute crowning achievement of his solo career, the moment when the biggest rock star in the world opened his soul and laid it at Allen feet - honest and revolutionary as it was at its core. Now Yoko Ono Lennon and Capitol/UMe are celebrating the 50th anniversary of John Lennon's groundbreaking and influential masterpiece with the 8-disc super deluxe box set John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band - The Ultimate Collection. It's a truly intense listening experience and a detailed journey of discovery through an album that John himself described as "the best thing I've ever done." The project is authorized by Yoko Ono Lennon, who also accompanied the production and creative process. The audio team responsible was the same one that worked on 2018's critically acclaimed Imagine - The Ultimate Collection, including three-time GRAMMY winner engineer Paul Hicks and mixer/engineers Rob Stevens and Sam Gannon. The Ultimate Collection takes the listener straight into the studio, where they can follow the recordings that took place in 1970 at EMI Studios 2 & 3 on Abbey Road. Lennon's post-Beatles singles “Give Peace A Chance”, “Cold Turkey” and “Instant Karma!” (We All Shine On)” are presented here again. From the first idea to the final master, unpublished and rare demos, rehearsals, outtakes, jams and conversations in the studio show the creation of these unforgettable songs. In total, the set contains an incredible 35 previously unreleased demos and outtakes. This historic, remixed and remastered collection contains a total of 159 tracks, or eleven hours of music, on six CDs and two Blu-ray audios; plus two postcards (“Who Are The Plastic Ono Band?” and “You Are The Plastic Ono Band”), a “War Is Over!” poster and a comprehensive 132-page hardcover book with song lyrics, rare photos, memorabilia and detailed notes. The book was designed and edited by Simon Hilton, compilation producer and production manager of the Ultimate Collection series. It tells the story behind each song and describes the process of creating the album using old and brand new interviews in the words of John & Yoko and some other people involved. In the foreword, Yoko writes: “What John and I loved about the Plastic Ono Band albums was that we were offering the world an unvarnished, basic and absolutely honest reality. We influenced other artists, encouraged them, and turned this combination of vulnerability and strength, which wasn't widely understood in society at the time, into something to be proud of. It was revolutionary for a Beatle to say, 'Look, I'm human, I'm real.' “It took a lot of courage for John to overcome this.” The relaxed jams that developed between John and the band between recordings provide a striking counterbalance to the album's serious themes. Also included in the collection is the complete session for Yoko Ono's Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band, which was released at the same time, with the uncut songs in full length and original speed, as well as three unreleased improvisations. Similar to previous Ultimate Collection editions, this set offers several different, highly immersive listening experiences - from the brand new Ultimate Mixes, whose sophisticated sound focuses on John's voice; the Elements Mixes, which isolate and highlight individual elements of the multi-track recordings to reveal all the depth and detail; the Raw Studio Mixes, which give the listener the opportunity to experience the exact moment John and the Plastic Ono Band recorded the songs live - unedited and without effects, delays or reverbs - to the Evolutionary Documentary, a unique track-by-track audio montage that traces the development of each song - from the first demo to the final master - with instructions, rehearsals, recordings, multi-track experiments and studio conversations. The Blu-ray audios offer various audio qualities such as HD, studio quality 192kHz/24bit audio in stereo and 5.1 surround as well as Dolby Atmos mixes. In addition, Plastic Ono Band will be available in additional physical and digital configurations, including the 1CD version with the Ultimate Mixes of the original album and three singles not released on any album, as well as an expanded 2CD or 3CD version. 2LP version with an additional CD/LP with outtakes of Allen songs. Ultimate Mixes The aforementioned Paul Hicks remixed the original John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band album from scratch and faithfully to the original under the supervision of Yoko Ono Lennon at Abbey Road Studios. He used high-definition 24 bit-192kHz audio transfers of the original first-generation multitrack recordings and the results are outstanding. Especially in 5.1 surround sound and Dolby Atmos these new Ultimate Mixes offer sonic depth, sharpness and purity at an impressive level. “With the Ultimate Mixes series, Yoko wanted to achieve three things in particular: a respectful treatment of the originals, an overall clearer sound and that John's voice in particular comes more to the fore. 'It's about John,' she says. And she is right. It is his voice that is particularly touching on the album.” Outtakes The collection includes unreleased stereo outtakes of every single song. During mixing, the balance and EQ were adjusted to the original album mixes; with subtle additional effects in the style of a “rough listening mix”, such as John & Yoko and Phil Spector would have used for listening at Abbey Road. Highlights include “Mother” (Take 61) without a bell and with a mono mix for the drums, “Love” (Take 6) played by Lennon on acoustic guitar without Spector on piano, the first rehearsal of “Remember” (Rehearsal 1), which was originally slower and calmer, “Well Well Well” (Take 2) with an instrumental jam at the end, “Look At Me” (Take 2) with clawhammer technique and “Cold Turkey” (Take 1) with a funky guitar sound from John and Eric Clapton. Demos In addition to the outtakes, there are original recordings of each song, from a cassette or tape, or from the very first rehearsal or studio run-through. It's amazing how close to completion some of the songs were before we even went into the studio and what ultimately became of them. Most of these recordings remain unpublished to this day. Elements Mixes Hicks' Elements Mixes bring some hidden elements that are otherwise easily overlooked or not used to the forefront and give them a larger and brighter stage to allow for more detail and a purer sound. The idea behind the mixes is that once listeners have discovered these elements in this way, they will also hear them in the original album mixes and thus enjoy a whole new listening experience. These elements include John's isolated vocal track on "Mother", the conga on "I Found Out", the additional vocals on "Hold On", the differing organ recording on "Isolation", unused maracas on "Well Well Well" and the original guide vocal for "God". Raw Studio Mixes + Outtakes The Raw Studio Mixes were mixed by Rob Stevens and take the listener right into the studio at Abbey Road to experience for themselves what it was like to attend the studio sessions. The songs were mixed without effects, delays or reverbs so that the sound is as close as possible to the original performance – live and unadulterated. The Raw Studio Mixes offer a completely different listening experience, free of the sound-altering techniques and embellishments used in the production of the original album in 1970, and reveal further subtleties and depth in these studio recordings. The Evolution Documentary The Evolution Mixes are mini-documentaries that trace the development of each song through its individual elements, arrangements and the musicians involved. Samm Gannon pulled the material from the original 8-track recordings, live tape recordings and mixes, and a few demo tapes. Each Evolution Mix goes through the sessions of the respective song in chronological order - starting with the demos and/or early recordings to the final mixes - and thus documents the creative path from the idea to the finished work, illuminating different, sometimes hidden parts of the multitracks with all the magic, craftsmanship, secret recipes and conversations that accompanied and drove the development of the song. The sessions are characterized by a feeling of lightness and happiness that contrasts with the oppressive themes that run through the album. The mixes are a window into this world and bring the listener into the studio – to John, Yoko, Phil and the Plastic Ono Band. The Jams Despite the serious tone of the album, John and the Plastic Ono Band, which sometimes included Yoko, Billy Preston and Phil Spector, had a lot of fun between takes, jamming spontaneously, playing rock 'n' roll classics, improvising and experimenting on early versions of some of John's other songs. These 22 jams have been arranged in order of recording date and are available here for the very first time. Among the many gems are spontaneous performances of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode," Fats Domino's "Ain't That A Shame," Little Richard's "Send Me Some Lovin'," and a witty parody of Elvis Presley that highlights John's enthusiasm for early rock'n'roll. Other highlights include playful versions of “Hold On” and a few early attempts at “I Don't Want To Be A Soldier Mama, I Don't Want To Die,” which ended up on his next album Imagine. Yoko Ono/plastic Ono Band – The Live Sessions On 10. October, the day after Lennon's 30th birthday. birthday, Yoko, John, Klaus and Ringo recorded an experimental freeform jam session, which was released on Yoko's parallel album Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band. The complete session is more than three times as long as the original album and can be heard in its entirety for the first time on this Blu-ray Audio. The recording was remixed by Sam Gannon and can be found here in high-res audio, original speed and without edits. The track “Why” lasts 18 minutes and “Why Not” more than 21 minutes. The live session is rounded off with three previously unreleased improvisations: “Life”, “Omae No Okaa Wa” and “I Lost Myself Somewhere In The Sky”.
