Description

Plastic Ono Band is John Lennon’s stark and soul-baring solo debut — a raw meditation on identity, trauma, and spiritual awakening. This limited edition remastered reissue is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve with a WAR IS OVER! poster and 8-page booklet featuring rare photos and liner notes. Remixed from the original multitrack tapes at Abbey Road Studios by Paul Hicks, the album includes a second LP of outtakes and alternate takes, offering deeper insight into Lennon’s stripped-down production and emotional intensity.

With tracks like “Mother,” “Working Class Hero,” “Love,” and “God,” Lennon sheds the Beatles’ mythology to confront personal loss, political disillusionment, and existential truth — backed by Ringo Starr, Klaus Voormann, and minimalist arrangements that amplify every word.

Artist Overview

Plastic Ono Band marked Lennon’s rebirth as a solo artist — unfiltered, uncompromising, and deeply human. Influenced by Primal Therapy and produced with Phil Spector and Yoko Ono, the album’s confessional tone and sonic austerity inspired generations of singer-songwriters and remains one of the most powerful statements in rock history.
