"Imagine" alternate take (audio) by John Lennon |
|
The version of "Imagine" by John Lennon usually played on the radio isn't Take 1. If you'd like to hear an excerpt of Take 1, go to MoveLeft Media at: http://www.moveleft.com/moveleft_entertainment.asp

four or five studio versions of the song, and about that many live versions. It's a great song, and I like it as well with just the guitar (unplugged!) as with the white piano.

likely my son could put them on .... also, I need to get a turn-table ... I have about 175 Beatles/post-Beatles albums, many being rare bootleg material ..... going back a few years, I played briefly with David Peel & the Lower East Side Gang .... who I'm sure you recognize from John & Yoko's radical period .... "Sometime in NYC" and the Plastic Ono Elephant's Memory days .... I haven't spoken with David in a while, but he used to give me some great unreleased Lennon material .... and Yoko's wildest songs .... a nephew borrowed some, now that I think about the last batch he sent me.
Eric: do you know of a copy of John circa '66 doing an unplugged version of "Help" ? It's slow, the way he intended ... Paul and George Martin wanted the fast-paced, electric version .... which is good, but ..... I think Paul and George M harmed some of Lennon's best material.
David's "John Lennon for President" album had a nice version of Imagine by a friend .... simple, just a guitar. Dang. You've motivated me to get a new system ..... I have hundreds of albums, things by Jimi Hendrix that I've yet to see on CD .... but in the late 1980s, when I got divorced, the ex took the stereo, and I got into other formats. What are the best systems? What can I get to put an album onto say a CD? Is that possible? If it is, I'll get my boy to work, and I think I have some Beatles and Lennon & Harrison post-Beatle material you might enjoy. Maybe you have more than me already, but maybe not ......

7. I'm sure you have a lot more Beatles and Lennon material |
|
than I do.
I got that alternate take of "Imagine" from a cd-set, "The John Lennon Anthology."
There are services where you can bring vinyl records and they will put them on cds for you.
