John shines on and how
by Kevin O'Conner
Reviewed on April 19th, 2002
This album got into my car today, 20 March 2002, because it it the thirty-third anniversary of John and Yoko's marriage in Gibralter.From the moment that you hear the segment of 'Give Peace a Chance' to the same song reprised at the end, each and every track is excellent. Living in England in the 60s and 70s, it was hard to escape hearing and seeing John and Yoko and who would want to? Whatever they did was newsworthy. I am reminded with every track of the public appearances, bed piece with the long hair, appearing on TV to explain why they both shorned their locks when they made Instant Karma, the criticisms levied when Sometime in New York City was released etc. Every single track on this album is a winner from the pain of mother to the infectious chant of Power to the People. You are also reminded of John and Yoko's persistent message of peace and it is hard to escape the conclusion that the world needs them both as the world's conscience to draw attention to the barbaric atrocities still going on around the world and the continued position of women in all societies. This is one powerful album which deserves to be in everyone's collection. It suggests too that there should be a Lennon's singles album with all of the A abd B sides and including the Elastic Oz Band single. Happy Anniversary Lennons.
