John Lennon: Between the Lines

John Lennon: Between the Lines Volume 1Probably one of the best examples of a fan-collected set is John Lennon: Between the Lines: Complete Home Recordings 1975-1980. The collection brings together all of Lennon's available demos from the period, using all relevant books, bootlegs, official releases, and even 'Lost Lennon Tapes' tape logs to uncover not only what was recorded, but in what order. It is a painstaking effort, and all of the recordings have been transcribed. The set reveals that Lennon did not stop writing in 1975, but rather worked slowly, tossed aside many compositions, and worked on several others that eventually formed the basis for Double Fantasy and the posthumous Milk and Honey.

This set includes all surfaced Lennon home recordings from the 1975-80 period. All of the audio has been carefully remastered and speed corrected from the best available sources, and the tracks have been presented in the order of recording (as far as could be ascertained) -- something which hasn't been attempted previously. For several of the demos, the actual taping order and context of the various versions is revealed for the first time.
