John Lennon
John Lennon Signature Box

Compil. US 2010 on Capitol Records label
Rock (Rock’n’Roll, Pop Rock)

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.
