Notes: Personnel: John Lennon (vocals, whistling, guitar, piano); Ted Turner, Rod Linton, John Tout, Joey Badfinger, Tommy Badfinger (acoustic guitar); George Harrison (dobro); Nicky Hopkins (piano); King Curtis (saxophone); John Barnam (harmonium, vibraphone); Klaus Voorman, Steve Brendell (bass, maracas); Alan White, Jim Keltner, Jim Gordon (drums, tibetian cymbals); Mike Pinder (tambourine). Considered together, IMAGINE and its startling predecessor JOHN LENNON/PLASTIC ONO BAND paint a vivid picture of the state of John Lennon immediately post Beatles. If JOHN LENNON/PLASTIC ONO BAND found John working out his hitherto repressed feelings about childhood and stardom, then the abiding impression of IMAGINE is John's one certainty in this storm of doubts and recrimination, his love for Yoko. "Jealous Guy," with its peerless vocal and a spot-on arrangement for strings, is sublime. "Oh My Love" is all delicacy and melodiousness. "Oh Yoko!" is a celebratory finale with none of the cloying self-obsession of John and Yoko's home movies. And on two other songs where Yoko is not the dominant theme, she is nevertheless invoked through the "oh no, oh no" refrain. That's not to say that love songs predominate. Half of the material covers similar terrain to JOHN LENNON/PLASTIC ONO BAND, but now there is hope and even light-heartedness. "Crippled Inside" is leavened by its country stylings including Dobro, courtesy of George Harrison, who also spices up two of the album's pivotal tracks, "Gimme Some Truth" and "How Do You Sleep?"

I add new items most days..........please take a look

All items carefully graded audio-visually, and are played on a high quality system.

Please feel able to bid with confidence , as a collector myself I realize the requirements in the gradings of sleeves and discs , and how important it is to recieve items in the condition as advertised in listings ........I notice that the usual practice by many sellers on eBay is using the buzzwords 'Stunning' , 'Superb' , 'Awesome' 'etc etc etc...... and have grossly long-winded descriptions .............these 'experts' also add technical information , which is totally unrelated and untrue to actual facts , and would be laughable , but for the fact that it is misleading , and tends to hide the fact that the items on offer are only Average/Very Good , substandard items........and a 1000 word essay with vague photographs does not make what is a VG condition item into Mint condition item.................. I take time and care to grade items correctly and only list quality records........

I have been a lifelong music fan , my first concert visit was in 1957 (Birmingham Town Hall Skiffle Contest!) and have bought records of all the great music since 1959 , and had the privelege of seeing most of the great artists live too (I saw The Beatles twice....)
