Released to coincide with John Lennon’s eightieth birthday in late 2020,
Gimme Some Truth purports to contain “the ultimate mixes” of 36 slices of classic solo Lennon (or 19 slices if opting for one of the abridged editions). Of course, whether these new mixes are actually the “ultimate” or something close to it is sure to be bandied about with much fervor by fans and critics, but one thing is certain: many of the tracks presented here have never sounded better.
First the particulars on the different versions of the collection: there’s a 2CD+Blu-ray deluxe featuring 36 tracks (and surround sound Blu-ray); a 4-LP vinyl set with 36 tracks; a 2-CD set, also containing 36 tracks (no Blu-ray); a 2-LP, 19-track vinyl edition housed in a gatefold sleeve; and a 19-track CD edition. (The 2CD+Blu-ray deluxe comes with a stunning, 124-page book that includes several rare photos and detailed track notes from Lennon, Yoko Ono and others.)
