Comments: This 3-CD set brings into focus for the first time John Lennon's legendary Rock and Roll sessions, both with and without producer Phil Spector. A document of a troubled time in John's life, this collection shows both the peaks and valleys in an extraordinary year and a half of work from October 1973 (when the project began) until February 1975 (when the album was finally issued). Highlights include several tracking sessions, rehearsals and live performances from the era, creating a fully rounded audio picture. Also included in its entirety is the Adam VIII Roots LP in its finest quality to date.
