Out Friday: Belinda Carlisle's Classic Pop Covers Album 'Once Upon a Time in California'

Belinda Carlisle - who wowed Coachella Festival crowds last spring with The Go-Go's - releases her ninth solo album and the first devoted solely to cover tunes, 'Once Upon a Time in California' on Friday via Demon Music. 

This thoroughly enchanting collection represents the singer's first full-length studio effort since 2017's 'Wilder Shores' (the Diane Warren-penned 'Kismet' EP arrived in 2023). The 10 tracks on 'Once Upon a Time in California,' primarily spanning 1965-75, were ones that Carlisle listened to on AM pop radio as a young girl in LA and helped inspire her to become a singer. Carlisle owned three of the chosen selections on 7" vinyl singles back then. Astute followers will recognize three covers from prior collections.

For Carlisle's take on the Harry Nilsson hit “One” (a #5 hit for Three Dog Night in 1969), she went for a jazz-styled approach that concludes with manic piano work and said in a press release, "I've never done anything like this before, so I think it might be a surprise for some of my fans." Another Nilsson number, "Everybody's Talkin'," from the "Midnight Cowboy" soundtrack, contains glorious vocals. 

About The Hollies-popularized "The Air That I Breathe" (done with full-bodied vocals on 'California'), Carlisle stated, "this song has always been one of my very favorites growing up. I love the lyrics and the complicated melody. This was on the list I originally made of songs that I wanted to sing if I ever did a cover album. During the pandemic, I started performing karaoke style on my Instagram every Saturday and called it “Saturday Serenades.” This one got such a good response that I thought 'This definitely should be a contender for the album.' I'm so happy with the way it turned out."

Additionally, Carlisle said her upbeat version of The Youngbloods’ “Get Together” was initially lyrically relevant "when it was released during the Vietnam war and it's relevant today with all of the craziness going on in our world. I recorded it firstly because I love it and secondly because I think it is perfect for this time."

Bacharach & David's "Anyone Who Had a Heart," best known for the hit Dionne Warwick rendition, kicks the 'California' album off in fine dramatic fashion. 

Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind," featuring elegant, intricate acoustic guitar, a sublime string section, a sweeping thrust and prominent female backing vocals, is simply gorgeous, bettering the original. 

Another standout here is Leon Russell & Bonnie Bramlett's "Superstar," popularized by The Carpenters. Carlisle's joyous chorus vocal delivery along with a bittersweet melody, is superb.

All told, 'Once Upon a Time in California' is a must-have for fans of Belinda Carlisle's solo career hits like "Heaven is a Place on Earth," "Circle in the Sand," and "I Get Weak." 

Available configurations include CD, vinyl and digital. Order HERE

Out now: John Fogerty re-records his classic tunes on 'Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival Years'

John Fogerty, Grammy winner, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, and Songwriters Hall of Famer, just put out a new album, 'Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival Years' via Concord. 

Arriving as he celebrates his 80th birthday year, the 20-track collection features newly recorded versions of his most beloved songs, all written by Fogerty. 

For the first time in his career, Fogerty fully owns the rights to his CCR catalog. “For most of my life I did not own the songs I had written,” says Fogerty. “Getting them back changes everything. Legacy is my way of celebrating that—of playing these songs on my terms, with the people I love.”

In addition to Fogerty's sons, players on the album include esteemed session vets Matt Chamberlain, Bob Glaub, and others. It was mixed by legendary engineer Bob Clearmountain in both stereo and Atmos, marking the first time these songs have been available in Atmos.

“Bad Moon Rising,” a focus track, has long been one of Fogerty’s signature songs—and streamed more than one billion times. Listen to “Bad Moon Rising” HERE. Fogerty also unveiled a new music video for “Born On The Bayou.” Watch HERE.

The project is also deeply personal. Inspiration for Legacy began in 2023, when Fogerty achieved a lifelong goal of reclaiming ownership of his publishing after decades of legal battles. Recording the songs anew was his way of not only celebrating that victory, but also creating definitive new versions. “I’m 80 years old,” he says. “I’m giving myself a gift with this album—and I’m giving my fans a gift at the same time.”

Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years is available now on vinyl, CD, and all digital platforms HERE.

Last week, Fogerty did a iHeartRadio ICONS performance on the Deep Cuts Station, followed by a SiriusXM weekend takeover on the Classic Vinyl channel. Coming up in September, Fogerty will be honored with BMI’s 2025 Troubadour Award. Fogerty will tour throughout the remainder of 2025, including his just-announced return to Mexico City after 20 years.

Bon Jovi revamps '24 album with all-star guests Bruce Springsteen, Joe Elliott of Def Leppard, Robbie Williams, Jelly Roll, others

Bon Jovi has announced the album FOREVER (LEGENDARY EDITION), released October 24 via Island Records (Pre-order HERE). Lead single "Red, White and Jersey," will be available Friday to stream on all platforms.The album’s collab track with Bruce Springsteen “Hollow Man” is also out Friday.

“This album is more than just a collection of collaborations, it is an album borne out of necessity. My vocal cord surgery and subsequent rehab was a well-documented journey that played out while releasing Forever in June 2024. I was singing well enough in the studio for the recording, but the vocal demands and rigors of touring were still out of reach for me. Without the ability to tour or promote an album we were all very proud of, I decided to call on some friends to help me in my time of need. All are great singers, artists, and also just great people. The result is an album with a new viewpoint and new spirit -- a collaboration album that proves we all get by in this world with a little help from our friends. I feel tremendous joy and gratitude releasing this album and I think it shows in the music. I can say with certainty that there is always something bigger than ME, and that’s WE,” said Jon Bon Jovi.

Out now: Jack's Mannequin - Everything In Transit: Strings Attached EP; tour this fall

Jack’s Mannequin, the acclaimed alternative pop rock group led by veteran indie-pop singer-songwriter-pianist Andrew McMahon, have released Everything In Transit: Strings Attached EP to officially celebrate their 20th anniversary.

The special collection features brand-new acoustic versions of five songs off the band’s Gold-certified debut album, Everything In Transit, originally released August 23, 2005. Produced by Suzy Shinn (Weezer, Fall Out Boy) and recorded at Treehouse Studios in Los Angeles, Everything In Transit: Strings Attached EP features Jack’s Mannequin’s Gold-certified hit single “Dark Blue” and “Holiday From Real,” “I’m Ready,” “Bruised” and “The Mixed Tape” set against string arrangements courtesy of LA-based artist Allie Stamler.

PRESS HERE to pre-order on vinyl.

“Transit was more than a record to me. It was a window into one of the most chaotic, heartbreaking, and beautiful times in my life,” shares McMahon. “I had so much to lose and somehow, I was more fearless than I'd ever been or will ever be. Twenty years later, I still love these songs as much as I did when they came to life in the speakers for the very first time.”

Of the new Everything In Transit: Strings Attached EP, he adds, “We had no idea what we were trying to make when we decided to cut this record. It was very similar to Transit in that sense. I showed up with the songs and we just started experimenting. Halfway through the first day, the piano strings were covered in mounting putty and I remember thinking two things: this is so much fun and what the hell have I gotten myself into? The revelation came when Suzy Shinn, my longtime friend and producer, invited Allie Stamler over at the end of the first session. Allie is a brilliant violinist and the two of us just hung out in Suzy's living room with a mic and arranged string parts in real time. It was so clear that we had found an angle on these songs that felt fresh and we basically told Allie she was stuck with us for the next couple weeks. It was such a free and creative process and it made reworking the songs feel like a worthwhile endeavor rather than some box to check for an album anniversary.”

In addition to marking 20 years of Jack’s Mannequin, Aug. 23 represented a more personal milestone for McMahon. At the age of 22, he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) and admitted to the hospital on the same day the recording of Everything In Transit finished.

A few months later, on the album’s release day (August 23, 2005), McMahon received a stem cell transplant from his sister, ultimately saving his life. After making a full recovery, Andrew founded the Dear Jack Foundation in 2006, a nonprofit providing impactful programming that directly benefits adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer in order to improve quality of life and create positive health outcomes from treatment to survivorship for patients and their families.

Jack’s Mannequin – McMahon (vocals, piano), Bobby “Raw” Anderson (guitar), Jay McMillan (drums) and Mikey Wagner (bass, keys) – reunited earlier this year to kickstart their 20th anniversary celebrations with The MFEO Tour. The first leg of the 30-date North American outing sold-out nightly throughout June.

Following a performance at Maryland’s Oceans Calling festival in September, The MFEO Tour will resume October 11 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. Jack’s Mannequin will then make their debut at When We Were Young and continue their headlining run this fall in October and November. See below for full list of upcoming tour dates.

The Beatles' spruced-up 'Anthology' series returns this fall/winter in various formats

First released three decades ago, The Beatles’ eight-part “Anthology” series eschewed the standard treatment centered on an outside narrator and talking heads. Instead, “The Anthology” featured John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr telling their own story. Now, The Beatles Anthology returns for a comprehensive global release campaign—on screen, on record, and in print.

“The Beatles Anthology” Documentary Series

Now a Nine-Part Series Featuring a Brand-new Episode Nine

Streaming Exclusively on Disney+ Beginning November 26

The Beatles’ “Anthology” documentary series has been restored and remastered.

There is now a completely new Episode Nine, including unseen behind-the-scenes footage of Paul, George and Ringo coming together between 1994 and 1995 to work on “The Anthology” and reflecting on their shared life as The Beatles. 

The restoration has been overseen by Apple Corps’ production team, working with Peter Jackson’s Wingnut Films & Park Road Post teams along with Giles Martin, who has created new audio mixes for the majority of the featured music.

The Beatles Anthology Music Collections

Restored & Expanded to Four Volumes: 12LP Vinyl, 8CD & Digital Collections

Out November 21

The musical side of The Anthology Collection, originally curated by George Martin, now remastered by Giles Martin, in the form of three double albums of rare material. 

It also has an important new element. Anthology 4, newly curated by Giles, includes 13 previously unreleased demos and session recordings and other rare recordings. It also includes new mixes of The Beatles’ Anthology-associated hit singles: the GRAMMY-winning “Free As A Bird” and “Real Love,” given new life by their original producer, Jeff Lynne, using de-mixed John Lennon vocals.

The original “Free As A Bird” music video has also been restored: Watch it now.

Both new mixes are placed alongside the band’s most recent UK No. 1 hit single, 2023’s GRAMMY-winning “Now And Then,” the last Beatles song. All three singles were created from rudimentary home demos John recorded in the 1970s, later completed with vocal and instrumental parts recorded by Paul, George and Ringo.

Across all the Anthology albums, there are 191 tracks which will be released on November 21 by Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe for digital purchase and streaming, and in deluxe 12LP 180-gram vinyl and 8CD box sets. Both box sets include the original sleeve notes for Anthology 1, 2 and 3; the new Anthology 4 includes track notes written by Kevin Howlett and an introduction compiled from 1996 interviews recorded with The Beatles’ close friend and adviser Derek Taylor. The Beatles Store’s exclusive editions for both box sets add four 12-inch band photo art cards in a numbered envelope.

Split Enz celebrates half a century of its debut 'Mental Notes' with box set slated for November

The first installment of an archival project, ENZyclopedia Volumes One & Two, marks the 50th anniversary of Split Enz's debut album, Mental Notes on Nov. 14 via Chrysalis Records. Formats include a deluxe 5-CD box set and 3LP+Blu-ray. This release has been curated in close collaboration with the band. 

CD1 features a 2025 remaster by Phil Kinrade at AIR Studios, from the original master tapes of the band’s 1975 debut, Mental Notes.

CD2 has a new remix of Second Thoughts by the band's Eddie Rayner, which was recorded at Basing Street Studios in London with Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera. 

CD3 includes a remastered version of the original mix of Second Thoughts. 

CD4 collects the band’s earliest singles and rare tracks from their formative years. 

CD5, Wide Angle Enz, is unreleased and rare material, including never-before-heard live recordings from the 1975 Ormond Hall show and rough mixes from the Second Thoughts sessions, recently uncovered in the Chrysalis archives.

The five-disc set is housed in a tri-fold sleeve within a rigid slipcase, complete with an obi-strip and a 40-page booklet featuring previously unpublished photographs, rare memorabilia, and in-depth commentary from Tim Finn, Eddie Rayner, Wally Wilkinson, Mike Chunn, and Phil Manzanera. 

The 3-LP vinyl set features newly remastered editions of Mental Notes, Second Thoughts (Eddie Rayner 2025 Remix), and The Beginning of the Enz, pressed on three 140g LPs. The package mirrors the CD edition with a rigid slipcase, heavy-stock inner sleeves, obi-strip, and the full 40-page booklet. The Blu-Ray, exclusive to Superdeluxe edition.com, features Atmos and 5.1 mixes of Second Thoughts by Michael Carpenter, as well as hi-res stereo versions of the new Eddie Rayner remix and the original 1976 stereo version—a hi-res stereo version of Mental Notes and three music videos.

Lead singer Tim Finn, “Mental Notes was an album we carried around in our heads and hearts for a few years before we actually got the chance to make it. Phil and I had imagined epic and luxurious soundscapes that would stand alongside the masterpieces from the sixties we had fallen in love with in our most impressionable years, far removed in a land at the bottom of the world. Which is why, thinking we had fallen short, we tried to make our first album twice. Once in Sydney and again in London in 1976. So the “real” Mental Notes is still hovering somewhere between two records, never to be fully realised. However, nowadays I can hear beauty in the flaws, and completeness in the imperfections.”

Speaking about the band now Phil Manzanera recalls “We (Roxy Music) arrived in Sydney after this horrendously long journey via Mumbai and all sorts of stopovers and I get into my hotel room, turn on the TV and there was Split Enz, playing live on GTK. I was absolutely blown away when I found out they were playing with us at the Hordern Pavilion there in Sydney. At the gig, I decided to watch from the side of the stage and was very impressed. My recollection is that when the band came off stage, I passed by their dressing room, put my head in and said, ‘Hey guys that was terrific. If there is anything I can do to help let me know.’ How it came about that they came to London, I don’t know, but I organised the recording of what became the album Second Thoughts at Basing Street Studios in Notting Hill Gate. During the recording I was amazed by how together and accomplished they all were with the song arrangements, but of course I didn’t really appreciate how long they had been gigging. It was a joy to work with them.”

Of the task of remixing tracks from the mid-70’s, the band’s keyboard player, Eddie Rayner, says, “The original 1976 mixes (of Mental Notes) always felt right to me—no need to touch them. But in early 2025, while sifting through digital transfers from the Chrysalis archives, the sessions quietly called to me… and curiosity got the better of me. At first, I thought a remix might just be an interesting curio for die-hard fans. Remixing something that didn’t need fixing was daunting. Phil Manzanera and Rhett Davies had nailed it the first time around. But hearing the raw tracks again, I was hit by how inventive and fearless the arrangements were—and how good the band actually was. Croth’s complex, swinging drumming, Chunn’s melodic bass lines, Tim’s piano, always tasteful. Juddsy’s inspirational guitar work and Rob’s dextrous brass— all far more refined and accomplished than I remembered. Even Noel’s colourful percussion, which had been tucked away in the original mix, got a proper moment this time around.”

Adds future Split Enz member Neil Finn, “I was absolutely enchanted and inspired by Mental Notes as a 17-year-old. It made me believe anything was possible. Fifty years later, it sounds as unique and timeless as it did then.” 

In 1975/76, Split Enz were Tim Finn - vocals, piano, Phil Judd - vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, Eddie Rayner - acoustic and electric piano, mellotron, synthesizer, organ, clavinet, Mike Chunn – bass, Emlyn Crowther – drums. Noel Crombie – percussion, and Wally Wilkinson - lead guitar on Mental Notes & Robert Gillies on saxophone for Second Thoughts.

The Replacements' third album 'Let it Be' to get deluxe edition in October

Let It Be by The Replacements—Paul Westerberg, Bob Stinson, Tommy Stinson, and Chris Mars—originally released by Twin/Tone Records in 1984, will receive a newly remastered and expanded edition from Rhino on Oct. 24. 

The Deluxe Edition will be available on 4LPs and 3CDs and includes the album alongside unreleased studio and live recordings. Pre-Order Here. A previously unheard version of “Androgynous” is available digitally Listen Now.

The set gathers unreleased material from the Let It Be sessions, including alternate versions of “Gary’s Got A Boner” and “Favorite Thing,” as well as previously unreleased outtakes “Who’s Gonna Take Us Alive” and “Street Girl.” The alternate version of “Androgynous” features a different vocal take and the full piano intro, restored for the first time. All five bonus tracks from 2008’s Let It Be (Expanded Edition) are included here, newly remastered for this set.

The collection also includes Goodnight! Go Home!, an unreleased 28-song performance recorded in August 1984 at the Cubby Bear in Chicago. Sourced from an audience tape and newly remastered, it finds the Minneapolis quartet playing material from the not-yet-released album (“I Will Dare” and “Unsatisfied”), early favorites (“Color Me Impressed” and “Takin’ A Ride”), and covers “Help Me Rhonda/Little G.T.O.” (originally done by The Beach Boys/Ronny & The Daytonas) and “Can’t Get Enough” (Bad Company).

4LP or 3CD versions of Let It Be (Deluxe Edition), plus a bonus 10-inch vinyl Live at City Garden, will be available exclusively at Rhino.com. Rhino.com exclusive merch bundles include the 3CD alongside a T-Shirt, as well as the 4LP with a 10-inch, and T-Shirt. 

The six-song soundboard recording was made February 11 at one of the band’s favorite punk clubs in Trenton, NJ. A rare performance of the ballad “You’re Getting Married” was a birthday request from the band’s original manager and Twin/Tone co-founder Peter Jesperson, who co-produced the 1984 album, as well as this Deluxe Edition. Westerberg altered the lyrics mid-song, delivering them to a punk crowd.

Album reviews: The Cranberries, Elvis Presley, Vivabeat

Here are some new and noteworthy album reissues from the 1970s-90s.

The Cranberries

No Need to Argue

(Universal Music/Island)

The Cranberries were on a winning streak from the start with an internationally successful debut album. The Irish alt-rock band road tested many songs which appeared on 1994’s No Need to Argue – the one with massive hit “Zombie.” 

After re-teaming with producer Stephen Street to record demos, the results were so good that only minor tweaking had to be done later in the studio. This excellent 30th anniversary edition of the quartet’s captivating, multi-platinum second album features a new remix by Street, two eye-opening dance remixes from Chvrches’ Iain Cook, brawny live cuts from the Woodstock ’94 festival (“Ridiculous Thoughts” finds the late Dolores O’Riordan and company in ferocious form), and Liverpool Royal Court Theatre, demos, rarities (there’s a sublime Carpenters cover) and more. 

The informative liner notes have recollections from the band and producer, album background and the songs’ lasting legacy. Formats include single/double CD/LP and 41-track super digital deluxe. A must for all Cranberries fans.

Elvis Presley

Sunset Boulevard

(RCA/Legacy)

Even though we lost Elvis Presley in August 1977, RCA Records still manages to unearth fascinating rarities from the vaults on a near annual basis and presents them in wonderful box sets. 

Sunset Boulevard, a 5CD/2LP/digital collection, focuses on Elvis’ early-to-mid 1970s recording sessions and rehearsals at RCA’s legendary Los Angeles studios. Among the 89 tracks, more than half have never been released domestically. 

The fresh mixes have stripped overdubs, and you really get a better sense of Elvis’ heartfelt delivery on several contemplative country and adult contemporary ballads. The song interpretations by Kris Kristofferson, Paul Williams, Billy Swan and Don McLean are standouts, as are rare alternate studio versions of “Separate Ways,” “T-R-O-U-B-L-E,” “Burning Love” and “Always on My Mind.” Elvis’ take on “Green. Green Grass of Home” is a stunner. 

Fans can also hear the frequently loose and joking rehearsals. Rare archival photographs, new liner notes and an introduction by lifetime Elvis friend Jerry Schilling round everything out. Recommended for diehard Presley enthusiasts.

Vivabeat

Party in the War Zone

(Liberation Hall)

Formed in 1978, short-lived LA new wave/glam rock band Vivabeat signed to a UK label upon the advice of Peter Gabriel. The former Genesis frontman was reportedly inspired by a whistling refrain in group’s song “Man from China” to later use a similar sound amid his own big UK hit “Games Without Frontiers.” Before joining Vivabeat, lead singer Terrance Robay portrayed James Dean in a London musical. On record, the openly gay Robay sported a sophisticated Bryan Ferry-meets-David Sylvian singing style augmented by two female keyboardists on backing vocalists.

The sextet’s solid debut and lone full length album Party in the War Zone, newly remastered here, is highlighted by hypnotic single “Man from China” (a dance club hit in several countries), the reggae-fied “Working for William,” frantic “Pop Girl,” mechanical “From the Bop” and sprightly bonus track “The House is Burning (But There’s No One Home).” The latter, from a follow-up EP, also achieved prominent European club play and a spotlight in Brian DePalma’s 1984 thriller “Body Double.” More recently, Vivabeat tunes have been heard in various series and films.

Although Vivabeat toured with several popular modern rock acts of the day (B-52’s, Thompson Twins, Gary Numan, Human League), major success eluded the band, and it split by the mid-1980s.

Also available on CD/download: The House Is Burning: The Best of Vivabeat (1979-1986) featuring unreleased songs, a Rolling Stones cover of “2000 Light Years From Home” and a guest appearance by Blondie drummer Clem Burke.

Both reissues serve as tributes to Robay, Consuelo De Silva and Alec Murphy, who all died of AIDS, and to Doug Orilio, who succumbed to complications from a prior motorcycle accident that left him a paraplegic.

Veteran Aussie singer/songwriter Paul Kelly pens sequel to 'How to Make Gravy' on upcoming album '70' in November

Paul Kelly returns with new album Seventy, out November 7, on EMI.

On Seventy, the veteran Aussie pop and rock singer/songwriter draws on classic storytelling traditions — from The Canterbury Tales to The Decameron — where shared tales offer comfort, meaning, and light in the dark. The album has references spanning Yeats, The Lord of the Rings, Cicero, the French Resistance, and circling magpies.

First single, “Rita Wrote A Letter,” is out now alongside a video featuring Australian actress Justine Clarke, that was directed by acclaimed Australian filmmaker Imogen McCluskey and produced by Dollhouse Pictures. 

A follow-up to his 1996 classic “How to Make Gravy” - a song so beloved and iconic in Australia it has inspired an unofficial national holiday, “Gravy Day” (December 21) - the track arrives nearly thirty years after we first met Dan, Joe and Rita, Kelly, and brings them back with a ghost story. 

Told from Rita and Joe’s point of view, the song revisits familiar characters that often take on lives of their own. Watch the official music video below, and find the lyrics here.

"I've been mulling over the idea of a sequel to ‘How To Make Gravy’ from Rita's point of view for quite some time," Kelly explains. "About five years ago I wrote down the words, 'Rita wrote a letter,' and thought, 'There's my title.' I scratched away intermittently and fruitlessly for several years but never got very far until Dan Kelly sent me a recording of something he'd written on piano with a rough melody over the top. The words started rolling after that. As often happens, they took me by surprise. You could say the song took a dark turn but to my mind it's a black comedy. A ghost story. You hear Rita's voice loud and clear, but Joe talks even more. I couldn't shut him up."

Throughout Seventy, Kelly blends new work with a couple of favourite poems set to music, including a full-band take on W.B. Yeats’ poem with “Sailing to Byzantium.” It was first recorded with an orchestra more than a decade ago. 

“Happy Birthday, Ada Mae” was written directly to his granddaughter; other songs are about two old friends holding fast as life nears its end, a couple whose unbridled desire keeps finding new paths, and lyrics that capture the simple pleasures of a morning breeze, a shared meal, and the fleeting moments that linger longest in our memory.

With a career spanning over four decades and 30 albums, Paul Kelly has collaborated across genres and often set poetry to music. 

Track listing:

1. Tell Us A Story: Part One
2. Don't Give Up On Me (feat. Meg Washington)
3. Rita Wrote A Letter
4. The Body Keeps The Score
5. I Keep On Coming Back For More
6. Take It Handy
7. Happy Birthday, Ada Mae
8. The Magpies
9. Made For Me (feat. Rebecca Barnard)

New John Lennon and Yoko Ono box set 'Power To The People (Super Deluxe Edition)' arrives in October

John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s new 12-disc boxed set and digital collection, Power To The People (Super Deluxe Edition), will be released through Capitol/UMe on October 10, one day after John would have been 85. 

Produced by Sean Ono Lennon and his 5x GRAMMY® Award-winning team, who together took home the 2025 GRAMMY Award for Best Boxed Set Or Special Limited Edition Package for the boxed set, John Lennon’s Mind Games – The Ultimate Collection (Super Deluxe Edition), Power To The People (Super Deluxe Edition) is a  123-track collection, including 90 never-before-heard and previously unreleased tracks, that chronicles John and Yoko’s most political era. 

The set spans from Plastic Ono Band’s 1969 Bed-In anti-war anthem “Give Peace A Chance,” to a new version of their 1972 album, Sometime In New York City, and that year’s One To One Concerts at Madison Square Garden in NYC – John’s only full-length concerts after leaving The Beatles and also the last concerts John & Yoko ever performed together. It also has unreleased demos, home recordings, jam sessions, live cuts, unique mixes and more.

“That Madison Square Garden gig was the best music I enjoyed playing since The Cavern or even Hamburg,” John Lennon told NME in 1972. “It was just the same kind of feeling when The Beatles used to really get into it.”

“The One To One concert was our effort in Grassroots Politics,” writes Yoko Ono Lennon in the Preface to Power To The People. “It embodied what John and I strongly believed in – Rock for Peace and Enlightenment. And this one in Madison Square Garden turned out to be the last concert John and I did together. Imagine Peace. Peace is Power. Power To The People!”

“I was completely floored putting this collection together and getting to remix the concerts and hearing all the unreleased material from my parents’ archive for the first time,” said Sean Ono Lennon. “People may not realize how special it is for me to hear my dad talking or to see him. I grew up with a set number of images and audio clips that everyone’s familiar with. So to come across things that I’ve never seen or heard is really deep for me, because it’s almost like getting more time with my dad. When I was eleven, my mum put out the Live in New York City album and film. So I grew up listening to it. It was a concert that had a legendary status in my mind, because it was my dad’s last concert. For the concerts, Paul Hicks and Simon Hilton and I spent a lot of time finding the best possible balance to keep the feeling of a live show while refining the overall sound as much as possible and Sam Gannon did some meticulous and miraculous work with audio restoration. I won’t disclose all our techniques but there was some ‘movie magic’ required, and I think in the end, the shows sound better than ever.”

POWER TO THE PEOPLE

Power To The People (Super Deluxe Edition) comprises 9 CDs and 3 Blu-Ray audio discs packaged in a 10-inch slipcase with silver foil titling and a lenticular cover of John and Yoko’s faces that when layered on top of each other presents a 3D effect.

It is accompanied by a 204-page hardback book designed and edited by Simon Hilton featuring an oral history about all the included music through the words of John & Yoko and those involved sourced from both archival and new interviews. The book is illustrated with unseen photos, lyrics, drawings, tape boxes and memorabilia. Additionally, the set includes a newspaper print poster, sticker sheets and a VIP envelope containing replica concert tickets, backstage and aftershow passes that have all been reproduced with textured, archival materials.

THE ONE TO ONE CONCERTS

The centerpiece of Power To The People is the One To One Concerts, which presents both the matinee and evening performances together for the first time. The concerts raised more than $1.5 million (2025 equivalent of $11.5 million) to support children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. All tracks have been completely remixed and re-engineered from the original analog tapes by Paul Hicks and Sam Gannon, using brand new HD multitrack transfers by Rob Stevens with the mixes mastered by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios.

The concerts are available separately as both “Afternoon” and “Evening” shows and also as a single “Hybrid” show, which brings together performances from both shows. The concerts are available in stereo on the CDs and in HD Stereo and immersive 5.1 HD Surround Sound and Dolby Atmos mixes on the Blu-ray audio discs. Previously only old mixes of select performances were available on the long out-of-print 1986 posthumous live album, Live In New York City.

The films of the remixed, restored and re-edited concerts are due for release next year as “Power To The People,” directed by Simon Hilton and edited by Ben Wainwright-Pierce.

The One To One Concert will be available outside of the boxed set in a variety of configurations including the Afternoon and Evening shows as an Audiophile 4LP Deluxe Collector’s Edition containing four 180-gram black vinyl records with rice paper inner sleeves and an 8-page booklet housed in a 12-inch rigid lift-off-lid box, with the same silver foil titling and lenticular cover as the boxed set as well as the same replica VIP envelope with concert tickets and passes and poster.

A 2CD Deluxe Edition with a triple gatefold digisleeve featuring a lenticular cover of John and Yoko’s faces includes a 20-page booklet. The hybrid concert will also be available on its own, including on 2LP 180g audiophile black vinyl, limited edition transparent green vinyl and on CD. The vinyl versions contain an 8-page, 12-inch booklet with a 6-panel newsprint poster that provides visual and historical context, alongside 2 full-color postcards.
