John was writing deeply personal songs like the ones inspired by the primal therapy he engaged in prior to the Plastic Ono Band sessions or political songs like Power To The People, Give Peace A Chance and Instant Karma! The former songwriting duo, perhaps the most celebrated musical partnership of all time, was very much at odds. The McCartneys were wrapped in a white sheet, which is similar to the bag the Lennons appeared in during their Bed-In For Peace in 1969. Lennon also interpreted a family photo of the McCartneys dressed up for Halloween (Paul as a clown and Linda as the Popeye character Wimpy) as a mockery of himself and Yoko Ono. You took your lucky break and broke it in two He also got a mild dig in at John in the lyrics of Too Many People - the opening track on he and Linda’s 1971 album Ram. Paul had just successfully won a court case to have The Beatles officially dissolved. The friction between John and Paul was never more intense than it was at this time. The latter, is actually quite an enjoyable song musically rather than predominantly because of its mean anti- Paul McCartney lyrics. I have a Samsung BluRay player hooked up to my vintage quad receiver to play stuff like this.Īnyway, I was spinning my latest acquisition and found that, for two different reasons, I enjoyed two songs more than I used to: I Don’t Want To Be A Soldier and How Do You Sleep? The former, laden with excessive Phil Spector production, actually sounds pretty cool in quad. The 2018 “Ultimate Edition” 4 CD, 2 BluRay box which was issued in the States and Japan also included the quadraphonic mix. The US quad versions of Imagine, and there were two, were both on Q8 (8-track cartridge). There was a vinyl quad pressing in Australia, two in Germany, Japan and the U.K. Imagine is one of those albums - like Atom Heart Mother by PInk Floyd - which had a variety of quadraphonic pressings. I don’t have the 2021 “ultimate mix” 2LP special release, so this replaces my Canadian early pressing. This week I scored a quadraphonic copy of his 1971 classic Imagine.
