From Loudersound.
A collection of some of John Lennon’s best-loved solo material will be released on what would have been the Beatle’s 80th birthday later this year.
Gimme Some Truth: The Ultimate Mixes will launch on October 9 through Capitol/UME in a variety of formats including CD, 2CD, 2LP, 4LP and a deluxe edition box set.
The collection has been produced by Sean Lennon and executively produced by Yoko Ono, with Gimme Some Truth including a total of 36 songs.
All the tracks have been completely remixed and engineered by Paul Hicks, who was behind the desk for 2018’s Imagine: The Ultimate Collection. He was assisted by Sam Gannon who also worked on the 2018 album.
The pair used brand new transfers of the original multi-tracks, with the process completed using vintage analogue equipment at LA’s Henson Recording Studios. Final mastering in analogue then took place at Abbey Road Studios by Alex Wharton.
The deluxe box set will include 124-page book which tells the story of each track in the words of John Lennon and Yoko, along with contributions from those who worked alongside them. Memorabilia including rare photographs, letters and artwork will also be included.
It’ll also come with a Blu-ray audio disc containing the mixes in studio quality 24 bit/96 kHz HD Stereo, immersive 5.1 Surround Sound and Dolby Atmos.
Ono says: “John was a brilliant man with a great sense of humour and understanding. He believed in being truthful and that the power of the people will change the world. And it will.
“All of us have the responsibility to visualise a better world for ourselves and our children. The truth is what we create. It’s in our hands.”
To mark today’s news, Capitol/UME have released a stream of Instant Karma! (We All Shine On).

This was pressed and distributed by Tetragrammaton after Capitol refused to release it with this cover. This didn't stop several States in the US [Porn capital of the world] impounding over fifty thousand copies and banning the album sleeve as 'pornographic'. Unwise, maybe, but hardly pornographic. The protective covering sticker sealed brown paper bag that came with the first copies probably didn't help by including a quote from Genesis; "And They Were Both Naked, The Man And His Wife, And Were Not Ashamed". Still, all things aside it remains a hard to approach experimental album &, along with George's 'Electronic Sound', one of the first experimental albums to be released by a mainstream artist. The outer bag on this copy has some minor wear and major split to the edges, the main sleeve has just light general wear and the vinyl remains Excellent with minimal signs of play T-5001)
