John Lennon - Double Fantasy: Stripped Down (LP)

John Lennon's iconic album, Double Fantasy, marked a triumphant return to music for the legendary artist, following a five-year hiatus to raise his son Sean. Released on 17 November 1980, this collaborative studio album with Yoko Ono would sadly be his final one, as his life was tragically cut short just three weeks later.

The album has been beautifully remastered, bringing a new depth, detail, and clarity to the original recordings without altering their essence. A special 'Stripped Down' version, produced by Yoko Ono and Jack Douglas, offers a fresh perspective on the songs, stripping away the original production to reveal the raw emotion and honesty that defines John Lennon's music.

Double Fantasy is a testament to John Lennon's growth and reconciliation with his past, as he embraces his new role as a family man. The album features some of his most beloved songs, including '(Just Like) Starting Over', 'Woman', and 'Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)'. With its mix of rock, pop, and heartfelt ballads, this album is a poignant reminder of John Lennon's genius and his enduring legacy.

The 2010 re-release of Double Fantasy: Stripped Down includes both the remastered original album and the 'Stripped Down' version, offering fans a unique opportunity to experience John Lennon's music in a new light. With a duration of 1 hour and 33 minutes, this 2CD set is a must-have for anyone who loves John Lennon's music and wants to delve deeper into his creative vision.
