Free Music Review: John's Last and Most Touching and Personal Album Despite Yoko's Efforts!
Hit: 3 Stars
After the absolute disaster of "Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band" I can understand why John resorted to intermingling this album with the weeds a.k.a. Yoko Ono's tracks to ensure airplay and sales/royalties for her truly poor compositions but doing so has really hampered what would have been John's best ever album. While not as good overall as "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band" and "Imagine", this album comes in a close third best and is still his most touching and revealing of his state of mind at the time he recorded it. Putting his tragic death aside, tracks like "Just Starting Over", "Watching the Wheels" and "Dear Yoko" show a tortured soul for many years finally coming to peace with his life and seemingly the happiest he had been for many, many years.
"Beautiful Boy" is a very touching song showing a father's great love for his son while "Woman" does the same for a husband and his wife. If it wasn't for the Yoko weeds sown together with the excellent John seeds, the overall album would have been one of the greatest albums of all time instead of just being an album with good singles but lacking cohesiveness. The 3 bonus tracks are "Help Me to Help Myself" by John, "Walking On This Ice" by Yoko and "Central Park Stroll (Dialogue)" which is just 17 seconds long.
This version is a treat as the mini-lp sleeve design is pretty well done despite the thin cardboard, the overall quality of the design is still a lot better than other mlps offerings that I've seen out there. Thin cardboard sleeves tend to be very flimsy and prone to fall apart easily but this one has shown me that if it is well assembled and designed as it is here, then it is still okay however I still feel that the better quality thicker cardboard mlps' that I have are still the better looking and more robust ones. A fold out containing all the lyrics in both English and Japanese is included in addition to the very faithful replica of the original lp inner sleeve which also has all the English lyrics printed on it.
Most importantly for me though is the very well remastered sound quality making this a treat for audiophiles. Despite this being a 70's album you couldn't tell from the sound quality which is still fresh sounding and is very good. Overall, given the higher price, this version may still be worth the upgrade given the enhanced sound quality, the well-designed although not the best I've seen mlps and the bonus tracks.
