The Ultimate Collection
The 50th anniversary edition of
John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band Lennon s first post-Beatles solo release is available in a few configurations: for the dabbler, there s a single CD that includes what have been dubbed the Ultimate Mixes (aka newly remixed/remastered versions) of the classic 1970 album, along with three non-LP singles from the same time period ( Give Peace a Chance, Instant Karma and Cold Turkey ); and for those who would like something of a deeper dive, there is an expanded two-CD (or two-LP) set that adds a disc s worth of outtakes of each song.
