Pressetext: A comprehensive analysis of every album recorded by John Lennon during his solo years from the end of the Sixties to his death in 1980, as well as the posthumous work that followed. A lively and provocative commentary of every song is interspersed with comments from Lennon on his final decade. Features a song by song analysis, a song index for easy reference, details of compilations and live albums and details of posthumous releases. From his early experimental work with Yoko Ono, through the startling sound of the Plastic Ono Band, the chart-topping Imagine, the political years in New York, the ‘lost weekend’ in Los Angeles, retirement, the comeback with Double Fantasy and his tragic assasination in December 1980 – Rogan leaves no stone unturned. Johnny Rogan is the author of the best-selling Morrissey And Marr: The Severed Alliance, one of the most acclaimed music biographies ever written, and still a best seller since its first publication in 1992. He has written high-profile biographies on The Byrds, Neil Young, George Michael and his latest, Van Morrison: No Surrender was featured in the Sunday Times’ best books of 2005.

Anmerkung: In diesem Buch geht es um die Musik von JOHN LENNON, die nach Alben geordnet anschaulich besprochen wird. Da die meisten LENNON-Aufnahmen autobiogafischen Ursprung haben, sind die Geschichten zu den Songs interessant. Und da LENNON sehr spontan war, vermitteln die meisten Alben so etwas wie die jeweilige Periode – nicht nur in musikalischer Hinsicht.
