Notes
John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band is the debut studio album by English rock musician John Lennon. It was released in 1970, after Lennon had issued three experimental albums with Yoko Ono and Live Peace in Toronto 1969, a live performance in Toronto credited to the Plastic Ono Band. The album was recorded simultaneously with Ono's debut avant garde solo album, Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band, at Ascot Sound Studios and Abbey Road Studios using the same musicians and production team and nearly identical cover artwork.
John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band is generally considered one of Lennon's finest solo albums, documenting with honesty and artistic integrity his emotional and mental state at that point in his career. In 1987, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it fourth in its list "The 100 Best Albums of the Last Twenty Years" and in 2012, ranked it number 23 in "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

Recommendations
Reviews
- Just bought me a mint copy and the sound as always from MoFI sounds incredible dead quiet and warm. A definitely must in every Beatle collection.
- Absolutely love how hot this cut is! The low end is kinda round and boomy but ill take that over too thin and bright; at least then, you can cut instead of boost which is always preferred. I did a get a couple skips tracking at my normal weight towards the end of the A side, but once I bumped up my 2m red to 2.5g, I was set.
- A more rare press because of the lack of the MACLEN copyright language, I suppose? My copy plays well, sounds great.
- I found it difficult to find clean copies of the UK original. Even when they looked perfect, they would play with surface noise and given many of the songs are sparse, it would ruin the listening experience. This 80s reissue, cut by the legendary Beatles cutting engineer Harry Moss, sounds excellent and, crucially, is pressed on quiet vinyl. Therefore, I can recommend this as a good-value alternative to a UK first pressing.
- Edited 3 months agoCouldn’t agree more with the positive reviews of the original record and the outtakes, along with the supplemental materials and gatefold. A+++ essential album.
- Incredible pressing! I have a bunch of the HTM Beatles cuts but this might just top them all. Nice punch from Ringo's drums, clear vocals and outstanding mid-range on the guitars from John. Exactly what I am looking for when I listen to this album. Not sure how easy these are to find, especially in the US but if you see one in decent shape - snag it.
- Both LPs sound excellent! No pressing issues. Love the out-takes as they sound even better than the original. The out-takes have great clarity and dynamic ranges. John's vocals never sounded better!
- Edited 8 months agoThe copy I bought skipped all the way through Side 2 as did the replacement copy which I also sent back. Side 1 was problematic also, That's okay because I wouldn't be playing it much anyway. I have little interest in Lennon's personal demons and mommy issues... but I digress. It seems that many others have had problems with this pressing as well. I wouldn't recommend it.
