John Lennon CD
A great CD.


Arrived in pefect condition. Glad I ordered it, especially since I think "Imagine" is the best rock song ever written.


Lennon Review
I orginally had it before, but my ex took it with him. I have always liked this CD. I was soo glad to find the CD on Amazon & at a reasonable price!! Very good CD, especially for all the John lennon fans!!.


Great, but there are better options
Spanning a career with the Beatles and one of the finest solo careers one can imagine, not to mention one of the finest songwriters to ever grace the earth, John Lennon could truly do it all. John Lennon is a musical legend, but one doesn't need me to say that.

1997's 'Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon,' released on Parlaphone/EMI, is a great overview of Lennon's solo career. With 20 songs and a total time of 77:30, some of Lennon's best is collected here. The thing is, this actually is somewhat unnecessary now. And unfortunately, it was unnecessary in 1997. Why, you may ask? Read on.

I'll start with the positives of this disc. If you want 20 of John Lennon's best solo songs in one sitting, 'Lennon Legend' is a great option. 'Mother,' 'Jealous Guy,' 'Power to the People,' 'Cold Turkey,' his legendary song about his heroin addiction, and his signature song, 'Imagine' can all be found here. And, the sound quality on this disc is outstanding!

But there are still plenty of negatives. 1989's soundtrack to the documentary based on Lennon's life, 'Imagine' is the best Lennon overview on the market, because it spans some of his material with The Beatles and it also includes several rarities. That's a great disc to own if you want just one disc of Lennon's.

Another soundtrack to another Lennon documentary film, 'The US Vs. John Lennon,' released in 2007, is also a great disc, but it too spans only his solo career, 1969-1980. However, that collection has 21 songs and it too contains rarities, making that a better option for a casual fan.

Overall, there are plenty of better options than 'Lennon Legend' in 2009. For a fan that wants a career spanner, go check out the soundtrack to 'Imagine. ' For a fan that wants a compilation spanning Lennon's solo years only, go for 'The US Vs. John Lennon. ' Both contain some rarities and the bottom line is, both are better options. But this gets four stars just because it's John Lennon, and everything here is EASILY ten star material.


Explicit i don't think so, only one song comes to mind
Other than that, I have no idea why some bonehead decided to label all these wonderful songs with that label that aren't filthy, call it pure stupidity. I can't believe what I'm reading on the screen here John Lennon legend album Explicit? Hmm well I don't think so, only one song that comes to mind where that tag should be put, Working Class Hero. All the other songs on here are worry free for hrs of enjoyment. The sound is crisp and clean just a wonderful greatest hits album for any new or old Beatles or classic rock fan.

Highly Recommended.
