John Lennon – The Alternative Some Time In New York City (Collector’s Edition CD)
A rare and revealing alternate look at one of John Lennon’s most politically charged and controversial albums. The Alternative Some Time In New York City features rare studio outtakes, alternate mixes, rehearsal recordings, demos, and session material from the landmark 1972 Some Time In New York City era.
Recorded during Lennon and Yoko Ono’s outspoken activist period in New York, these sessions showcase the raw energy and experimental atmosphere behind songs such as “New York City,” “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” “John Sinclair,” and “Woman Is The Nigger Of The World.” The recordings capture Lennon pushing further into politically driven rock alongside Yoko Ono, Elephant’s Memory, and producer Phil Spector.
This collector’s archival release offers fans a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse into the creation of one of Lennon’s boldest and most uncompromising albums, featuring stripped-back arrangements, studio chatter, alternate performances, and work-in-progress recordings unavailable on the standard release.
An essential release for dedicated Beatles and Lennon collectors, preserving an important and turbulent chapter in Lennon’s post-Beatles career.
