stunning,
intense, stark, brilliant. bonus tracks rock but are totally
inappropriate. power to the people is belated political wish
lacking this lp's realistic worldview and oz is a psych rave up
chock
full of rejected beatles tracks, including the title track which is a
better song than let it be. again, questionable bonus tracks. and
jam session tracks (originally 3rd LP) couldn't be lamer.
i'm
certain a paul record belongs in this slot. i'm not quite certain
which one but i think this is it. has simple charms like first
album, but with more complexity and diversity. still a bit syrupy
maybe
i'm amazed is beatlesque, sure. maybe better than half his side one
abbey road cuts. teddy boy though makes ya glad the fabs
dissolved. where's maxwell when ya need him?
john's
songs are surprisingly mellow... maybe not so surprising. yoko's songs
really kick. tacked-on bonuses includes their finest collaboration
Walking On Thin Ice. Wow. of its time and ahead of it
john
produced this amazing under-loved nilsson lp. bonus tracks are
essential. would put it higher but it aint a beatle solo
lp. superior companion to walls and bridges. jolly good
cover art.
the
cheapest way to get the essential non-lp early singles plus Move Over
Ms. L. Program those in sequence of release and see that his early solo
45s are as good as his late period Beatles work.
like
his first mccartney album, but later. his last record with
evidence of the old paul magic, i think. temp secretary &
coming up are neat. Goodnight Tonight bonus is Wings and doesn't
fit here.
i
have an old bootleg of a solo acoustic 'sue me , sue you' that should
be a bonus track. anyway i'm listening to this album right now.
In some small way better than All Things Must Pass.
formerly
overrated & cloying in spots, but way better than Oasis any day.
with above "Greatest" you get title track & Jet. Still worth it for
Helen Wheels, 1985 & INCREDIBLE Lennon nod Let Me Roll It
i
cant stand Got My Mind Set On You or the jeff lynne production, but i
gotta be fair: this is probably george's best selection of songs since
All Things Must Pass. i don't know the bonus cuts.
some
real good stuff on here from double fantasy sessions. nobody told me is
a favorite. haven't heard bonus interviews. they could make you feel
heavy, considering John died that day. What a loss.
nostalgia
from a trailblazer can be off-putting and this is overproduced in spots
as well but it really is a good time. you know, fun rock 'n roll and
the singing is fantastic. very welcome bonus cuts
I
didn't feel it was proper to put a box set in such a list so I kept it
for last. In some ways, saving the best for last. I mean, this is all
rare or unreleased stuff but it's John Lennon & he shines
