New John Lennon and Yoko Ono Boxed Set, ‘Power To The People,’ Set For Release In October

A comprehensive 12-disc box set titled, Power to the People, focusing on John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s politically charged early 1970s New York era, will be released on October 10, the day after Lennon’s 85th birthday. Compiled by their son Sean Ono Lennon, the collection spans 1969 to 1972 and includes over 90 unreleased tracks, featuring recordings from their iconic bed-in anthem “Give Peace a Chance,” to Lennon’s final concerts – and only full shows after leaving the Beatles – the One to One shows at Madison Square Garden, along with jam sessions with Frank Zappa, home recordings, and collaborations with Phil Ochs. The super deluxe set comes with nine audio CDs, three Blu-rays, a 204-page book, and memorabilia, and the collection will also be available in 4LP and 2LP formats and a 2CD set, all available for preorder now. To promote the release, Capitol/UMe have shared an unreleased live version of the Beatles’ classic, “Come Together,” recorded during the evening One to One show. (Rolling Stone)
