John Lennon Imagine - The Ultimate Mixes Deluxe (2LPs - Clear Vinyl)

Featuring a brand new stereo mix of the original album, faithfully remixed from the ground up by triple Grammy Award winning engineer Paul Hicks at Abbey Road Studios, under the supervision of Yoko Ono Lennon, using high-definition 24-bit/96kHz audio transfers of the original first-generation multitrack recordings, these Ultimate Mixes reveal whole new levels of sonic depth, definition and clarity, especially in 5.1 surround sound.

• Raw Studio recordings – an amazing immersive experience of the recording sessions as if you were in the room with the band themselves, enabling you to hear every single detail of each instrument and performance. Experience, in immersive surround sound, the moment John and The Plastic Ono Band record each song, raw and live, from a sonic soundstage at the center of Ascot Sound Studios at John & Yoko’s home in Tittenhurst.
• “Evolution” – a remarkable track-by-track documentary journey. The story of each song on a journey from demo to master via instructions, rehearsals, recordings, multitrack exploration and studio chat.
• “Elements” mixes – stripped-back mixes of selected tracks using a few simple elements from the multitrack recordings, that reveal even deeper levels of detail and clarity in the sources used for the master mixes, now opened up and presented on a wider, clearer and brighter sound stage.
• Outtakes – stereo outtakes from the album and singles sessions, faithfully mixed in a style similar to the originals.
• Quadrosonic Album Mix – remastered for the first time in nearly fifty years, the original four speaker Spector/Lennon/Ono mix of the ‘Imagine’ album in Quadrosonic sound.
