More of the Music of John Lennon
- You’ll find superb Double Plus (A++) grades throughout this early UK Apple pressing – exceptionally quiet vinyl too
- These sides are rich, full-bodied, present and spacious with plenty of extension on both ends
- Lennon’s voice sounds just right with lots of texture and startling immediacy – you’re going to have a hard time finding better sounding versions of these songs anywhere else
- 4 stars: “Rock ‘n’ Roll, in fact, stands as a peak in his post-Imagine catalog: an album that catches him with nothing to prove and no need to try… Today, Rock ‘n’ Roll sounds fresher than the rock & roll that inspired it in the first place. Imagine that.”
We recently finished a shootout for this fun album, and few other copies we played sounded remotely as good as this one. It’s got exactly the kind of sound we’d want for these old Rock & Roll classics — super lively, clean and clear, tonally correct, and natural. Most copies are edgy and gritty, but this one is smooth, sweet and very enjoyable.
Lennon’s voice sounds just right with lots of texture and startling immediacy. You’re going to have a hard time finding better sounding versions of these songs anywhere else — excepting, of course, “Be-Bop-A-Lula,” which can sound amazing on McCartney Unplugged.
