Released on December 11th1970, John and Yoko had started writing and demoing at Abbey Road EMI Studios in the summer, with recording sessions during SeptemberOctoberAfter the breakup of The Beatles that year, John and Yoko embarked on a period of selfreflection and experimentation, with the results that the songs and sessions for Plastic Ono Band were heavily influenced by his immersion in Arthur Janovs primal therapy. John was able to find emotional depth and honesty within himself that few artists had ever done before, with John saying to Rolling Stonenow I write all about me and thats why I like it. Its me. . The result is perhaps the most honest and emotionally raw album that anyone has ever released, let alone someone who was one of the four most famous musicians on the planet. With a small core band comprised of just Ringo Starr on drums and old friend Klaus Voorman on bass, coproduced by Phil Spector, the album peaked at 8 in the UK charts and 6 in the USA. It has come to be regarded by many as Johns finest solo work and has continued to grow in stature and reverence and has often featured in various Best Of lists through the years since. Not only does this album feature some of Johns bestloved and most impactful songs ndash Mother, Working Class Hero, Isolation, God ndash but this new set also includes the singles Give Peace A Chance, Cold Turkey and the classic Instant Karma We All Shine On.Released on the same day was Yoko Onos Plastic Ono Band album, the couple regarding the release as a pair of albums rather than two entirely separate projects, albeit of course it not achieving the same sort of coverage or chart success as Johns.Coming as this does hot on the heels of last years much loved and wellreviewedGimme Some Truth set andImagine before that, the audio has been completely remixed from the original studio tapes as part of the ongoing John Lennon Ultimate Mix series.
