The album is almost upon us and I think this thread will do nicely to talk and debate on this masterpiece of an album .
Released today a brilliant Video of a demo of Give Peace A Chance

I ordered it the day it was announced and it was priced at £86 , but now its £99.99. Which is a bit naughty as not everyone has money to fork out right away .
I didn`t hesitate to get it as I`m an absolute obsessive when it comes to this album . But now it`s been put back to 28th of April There are Beatle You Tubers who have already got there copies and done "Unboxing " Videos and they all have a little note from Yoko & Sean . I imagine they all may have notes with the pre orders Fingers crossed !

I never knew you loved that LP so much Mr Kite.
John's voice is amazing and fascinating to hear the creative process as they are working the track into the finished song.

Yes Pothos and it has a bit of a history with me back in the day , you may or may not know I was a Wings fan before I got into The Beatles and Macca was the man for me , this was around 1973 , Band On The Run era . I was 11 ! But as I got into the Beatles with now my Wings collection complete which wasn`t that expensive I started to other Beatle solo stuff and by the time I got round to Plastic Ono Band I was leaving school working in a factory and finding out that Lennon`s Solo music had an edge and when your becoming a man and taking in this album I was turning to the Lennon side as by the time London Town was out I was listening to a lot more heavy stuff , think Animals and then McCartney 2 for instance , I was going down the road where music was more intense and I guess the Plastic Ono Band was king of intense . By the time I was 18 I was becoming more of a Lennon disciple and then in that year (1980) it all changed . I will do a album review as soon as I get my Box set and I`ll also go through all the extra stuff It should be a cracker !

There was a Radio program on Westwood One by Elliot Mintz for about 4 years in the late 80's of all John's demos called 'The Lost Lennon Tapes'. It use to be broadcast here on Sunday mornings. there were 218 shows I taped about 100 of them. The demos were given to Elliot by Yoko to keep the memory of John alive. So most of them were home demos. The ones used on this CD release are from when John was in the studio perfecting some of these home demo songs.

I used to listen to that. Sooooo much stuff. You couldn't possibly listen to all of that more than once in your lifetime.
