new John Lennon Best-Of compilation features songs "remixed from scratch"

August 26, 2020

There’s a new John Lennon solo best-of compilation coming on October 9 which would have been his 80th birthday. Titled Gimme Some Truth, the collection was executive produced by Yoko Ono Lennon and produced by Sean Ono Lennon, who picked the 36 songs which “have all been completely remixed from scratch, radically upgrading their sonic quality and presenting them as a never-before-heard Ultimate Listening Experience.”

“John was a brilliant man with a great sense of humour and understanding,” writes Yoko Ono Lennon in the preface of the book that comes with the Deluxe Edition. “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 visualize a better world for ourselves and our children. The truth is what we create. It’s in our hands.”

The Deluxe Edition of Gimme Some Truth comes as a 2CD + Blu-ray combination, with the Blu-ray featuring Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround sound mixes, plus a 124 page book, posters, postcards and a bumper sticker. There is also a four-vinyl-LP version, a two-LP vinyl version, and a single-CD (19 track) version.

You can listen to the new “Ultimate Mix” of “Instant Karma,” and check out the tracklist and artwork for Gimme Some Truth, below.
