DESCRIPTION & TRACKLIST
DESCRIPTION & TRACKLIST
DESCRIPTION
Comes in a matte cubic 7" cardboard box, with glossy 'LENNON' on the top, embossed 'John Lennon' signature on the front, and partial paper wrap-around describing the contents:
"This set contains:
Eight original albums digitally remastered using original audio mixes:
- John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band (1970)
- Imagine (1971)
- Some Time In New York City - John & Yoko (1972)
- Mind Games (1973)
- Walls And Bridges (1974)
- Rock 'N' Roll (1975)
- Double Fantasy - John & Yoko (1980)
- Milk And Honey - John & Yoko (1984)
Along with:
Two bonus CDs featuring 5 x non-album singles and 1 x non-album B-side, all digitally remastered and 13 x previously unreleased studio outtake and home recording tracks:
- Bonus CD1: Singles
- Bonus CD2: Studio Outtakes / Home Recordings
And:
- 60 page hard back book with new liner notes, rare photos, and Lennon's hand-written lyrics and artwork sketches
- A John Lennon 70th birthday commemorative print housed in a portfolio wallet
Plus:
Exclusive access to a unique John Lennon online universe:
- Interactive experience of Lennon's solo career featuring: audio, video, art and photography
- Special access card inside
Each original album is housed in a separate gatefold cardboard-sleeve, holding the corresponding disc(s) and a booklet. ('Some Time In New York City' includes the original additional 'Live Jam' long player, thus spans two discs and comes in a double-gatefold.) The sleeves and booklets reproduce the original album releases' artwork and credits, augmented by retrospective liner notes and images from the period.
The two bonus discs together are housed in one shared gatefold cardboard-sleeve, without any booklet.
In addition to the box's overall catalog number (only appearing on the paper wrap-around), each album features its own independent catalog number as well (appearing on the sleeve, booklet and disc). Whilst the 'Some Time In New York City'/'Live Jam' double-album additionally features individual catalog numbers for each disc, the bonus compilations 'Singles' & 'Home Tapes' (which are sharing one gatefold-sleeve) neither have a shared catalog number nor a barcode (their individual disc's catalog numbers appear on the shared sleeve and the corresponding disc).
The individual album/disc titles and main artists used in the tracklisting on this page, are taken from the corresponding artwork (sleeve and booklet) as they appear in this release.
Some variations can be found (in most cases simplifications, particularly on the sleeve spines and disc print):
Disc 2 main artist is simply 'John Lennon' on the spine and disc.
Disc 3+4 main artist is simply 'John & Yoko / Plastic Ono Band' on the spine and discs. Disc 3 title is simply 'Some Time In NYC' on the spine. Disc 4 main artist is simply 'John & Yoko And Star Studded Cast Of Thousands' on the sleeve.
Disc 8 and 9 main artist given as 'John Lennon / Yoko Ono' on the spines and discs. Disc 8 and 9 are each subtitled 'A Heart Play' inside the booklets.
Disc 11 is subtitled '(Studio Outtakes & Home Recordings)' on the inner sleeve.

Mint (M)
Vinyl:
Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.
CD:
Perfect. No scuffs/scratches, unplayed - possibly still sealed.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Perfect. No wear, marks, or any other imperfections - possibly still sealed.
Cassette:
J-Card is crisp, clean and perfect in every way. Likely sealed. Cassette is brand new, and professionally produced.
Near Mint (NM or M-)
Vinyl:
A nearly perfect record. A NM- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
CD:
Near perfect. No obvious signs of use, it may have been played - but it has been handled very carefully. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Near Perfect. No obvious wear, it may have only the slightest of marks from handling.
Cassette:
Sleeve should be totally crisp and clean with only the slightest evidence of handling. Tape is likely new, free of any wear or damage.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
Vinyl:
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner.
CD:
A few minor scuffs/scratches. This has been played, but handled with good care - and certainly not abused.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Slight wear, marks, indentations, it may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar).
Cassette:
Sleeve has slight wear, marks, indentations, and/or may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar). Tape has been taken very good care of and may have light marks or spindle wear. Should play cleanly with minimal noise or degradation.
Very Good (VG)
Vinyl:
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time.
CD:
Quite a few light scuffs/scratches, or several more-pronounced scratches. This has obviously been played, but not handled as carefully as a VG+.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: More wear, marks, indentations than a VG+. May have slight fading, a small tear/rip, or some writing.
Cassette:
Sleeve will contain more wear, marks, and/or indentations than a VG+. May have slight fading, a small tear/rip, or some writing. Tape may have heavier marks and wear than VG including plastic discoloration. Should play with some stronger hiss or degradation, but not enough to overpower music.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+)
Vinyl:
A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
CD:
There are a lot of scuffs/scratches. However it will still play through without problems. This has not been handled with much care at all.Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Well worn, marked, more obvious indentations, fading, writing, than a VG - possibly a more significant tear/rip.
Cassette:
Sleeve will be well worn, marked, and contain obvious indentations, fading, and/or writing, more so than a VG grade - possibly a more significant tear/rip. Tape will have heavy wear on shell. Felt stopper may be missing. Tape may have minor creasing, but not broken. Must play through, may have heavier degradation that will overpower music.
Poor (P), Fair (F)
Vinyl:
The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.
CD:
The CD may or may not play some or all of the tracks. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Very worn. It may have obvious writing on it, it may be ripped/torn, or significantly faded, or water damaged.
