John Lennon/ Plastic Ono Band was originally released in 1970, as John’s first solo album after the breakup of The Beatles.
This was JOHN’S record- with no authoring concessions, no consideration for band direction, and no pressure to produce a hit radio song. The record was a declaration of his liberation from the pressures & artistic confines that he felt in the waning years with the Fab Four, and, perhaps even more critical was John’s desperate need to exorcise the demons that he had internalized for most of his life.

The transparency and introspection is what makes the music of the Lennon/ Plastic Ono Band such a boldly uninhibited masterwork from one of the worlds’ biggest rock stars.
Realizing, and confronting his emotional issues were the first two steps in opening John’s creative expression, and he couldn’t have done that without his muse & soulmate, Yoko Ono, and the couple’s shared experiences with therapy from Dr. Arthur Janov.

Janov was an American psychotherapist who believed that repressed pain from one’s childhood could be released through a treatment he called ‘primal therapy.’ Actually Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith of Tears for Fears were also believers in this therapy and some of their best music was inspired by it. Anyway, John & Yoko went to LA to devoutly immerse themselves in Janov’s primal therapy for 4 months.

The experience enabled Lennon to channel his emotions into an album's worth of self-revelatory material with themes of child-parent abandonment, and repressed psychological suffering.
The John Lennon/ Plastic Ono Ultimate Collection is so much more than a box set. It is a historic remixed and remastered treasure chest that features 159 tracks across six CDs and two Blu-ray audio discs for more than 11 engrossing hours of music.

Plus, the package includes two postcards (“Who Are The Plastic Ono Band?” and “You Are The Plastic Ono Band”)
Also, there is a “WAR IS OVER!” poster, and a comprehensive 132-page hardback book with lyrics, rare photos, tape box images, memorabilia and extensive notes. features 159 tracks across six CDs and two Blu-ray audio discs.

Let’s examine some of the compositions that make this coffer so impressive. Starting with “Give Peace a Chance”— the first solo single released by John Lennon in 1969, while he was technically still with The Beatles. The song is credited as a Lennon/ McCartney composition, even though it was Yoko who actually co-wrote the song with John.
