Limited double vinyl LP repressing of this album from the Rock icon. Released in 1972, it is John Lennon's third post-Beatles solo album, fifth with Yoko Ono, and third with producer Phil Spector. This album found the Lennon's in an explicitly political phase; understandable as Lennon was neck-deep in his struggle to remain in the United States, a conflict rooted in his anti-war and anti-establishment politics and the enmity of the Nixon administration. While John's former songwriting partner Paul McCartney may have had a more commercial appeal after the Beatles split, Lennon's work was a bit looser, edgier and laced with wit, wisdom and a dab of venom. Sometimes shambolic and often beautiful, John's solo work took a separate journey than Paul's but is just as riveting four decades later. Woman Is the Nigger of the World 5:15, Sisters O Sisters 3:46, Attica State 2:52, Born in a Prison 4:04, New York City 4:32, Sunday Bloody Sunday 5:00, The Luck of the Irish 2:54, John Sinclair 3:28, Angela 4:08, We're All Water 7:15, Cold Turkey 9:00, Don't Worry Kyoko 15:46, Well (Baby Please Don't Go) 5:00, Jamrag 5:20, Scumbag 5:59, Au 6:39
