John Lennon (4/Cd/Dvd) Double Fantasy Recording Sessions

From the mania must-have M Claudel label, the title that recorded John Lennon’s last recording session is re-released. The album “Double Fantasy” held at Hit Factory and Record Plant in New York from August to October 1980, and the fruitful recording session that came to fruition as “Milk and Honey” after his death, this work is that. It contains the song “Double Fantasy”.

This album is now full of famous songs that are already known as standards, and John’s youthful vocals and sophisticated rock’n’roll suitable for the new era of the 80’s became a hot topic. This group of masterpieces was written little by little during the time when it seemed that music activity had stopped since the birth of Sean, and it can be heard from the demo tapes of all stages that it was made by combining the leitmotifs. can be done. This work contains a session at that stage, leaving a huge amount of demo tapes to another occasion, completing the song to some extent, and actually recording in the studio. Many of the sessions held at both the Hit Factory and the Record Plant in New York were recorded, both officially and unofficially, and there were many half-finished collector’s items. This work covers everything with a volume that makes them all unnecessary.

Disc 1 contains two songs, “STARTING OVER” and “CLEAN UP TIME”. It starts with a graphic performance of checking the chords of “(JUST LIKE) STARTING OVER”, which was released as the first single suitable for the new album for the first time in 5 years, with a guitar, and the rehearsal is repeated over and over. is recorded. In between sessions, he seems to be enjoying studio recording for the first time in a while, playing songs such as “Only The Lonely” and “Gone From This Place”.

Disc 2 contains “I’M LOSING YOU” and the session at that time, as well as “I’M MOVING ON”. “I’M LOSING YOU” was originally a session inviting Cheap Trick. John’s rock’n’roll voice overlaps with Rick Nielsen’s very hard guitar, making it a tense session. Unfortunately, the session with Cheap Trick was shelved due to reasons such as the arrangement being too hard. You can tell that it was so hard that it was hard. The session at the time of this “I’M LOSING YOU” has been left relatively long, and it is recorded in the latter half of Disc 2. Forgetting the original “I’M LOSING YOU”, the Beatles’ “SHE’S A WOMAN” (and Paul’s song!) And oldies numbers are happily played. Furthermore, the feature of this work is that not only John’s songs but also Yoko’s songs are recorded, and like “I’M LOSING YOU”, Yoko’s “I’M MOVING ON” is also a hardware that Cheap Trick participated in. It is recorded in an arranged version. It is a single recording without being connected in a medley.

Disc 3 contains 4 sessions of “BEAUTIFUL BOY”, “WATCHING THE WHEELS”, “I’M YOUR ANGEL” and “DEAR YOKO”. “BEAUTIFUL BOY” is a song written for his beloved son Sean, and John’s feelings are strong. I think so. Furthermore, in this album, you can listen to the outtake of “Atana no Angel”, which is relatively easy on the ears.

Disc 4 contains a session of 3 songs, “WOMAN”, “Otoko wa Minega”, and “HARD TIMES ARE OVER”. “WOMAN” has become a standard number now. In contrast to the Beatles, the 1980 version of “GIRL” is a John-like, popular song that effectively uses breath. It actually contains 12 versions. There are versions of John and Yoko for “Otoko wa Nagoga”, but I think the duet version is rare.

Finally, as a bonus track, although there is an interview with the radio DJ, the basic track of “STARTING OVER” and “WOMAN”, the long version that was recorded only in the 12-inch promo of “STARTING OVER”, and the same It contains “MAGGIE MAE” sung by John from the session.

The DVD disc contains footage from Sean’s birth through the househusband era, especially in 1980, in his final years. Director Andrew Salt, who produced the movie “Imagine,” said in 1988 that it was rare for a single person to have so many images. The state of staying in Japan is also recorded.
