John Lennon To Re-Release Digitally Remastered Albums....

As a part of a catalog initiative to mark John Lennon’s 70th birthday (October 9), EMI will reissue eight of his solo albums that have been digitally remastered. A compilation titled “Power to the People: The Hits” will be joined by two box sets of Lennon material.

Overseen by Yoko Ono, John Lennon's "Gimme Some Truth" campaign will launch on 4 October (5 October in North America) with the worldwide release of eight remastered studio albums and several newly-compiled titles.

Double Fantasy, 1980's GRAMMY Award winner for Album of the Year, will be presented in a newly remixed 'Stripped Down' version remixed and produced by Yoko Ono and Jack Douglas, co-producers of the original mix with John Lennon. The new stripped down version of the album comes in an expanded 2CD and digital edition pairing the new version with Lennon's original mix, remastered.

The campaign's other new collections include:

•A hits compilation in two editions titled Power To The People: The Hits
•A 4CD set of themed discs titled Gimme Some Truth
•A deluxe 11CD collectors box with the remastered albums, rarities, and non-album singles, titled the John Lennon Signature Box


All of the remastered albums and collections will be available on CD and for download purchase from all major digital service providers
