Product Description

Hard To Find Actual 1980 Japanese First Pressing! Includes Inner Sleeve With Lyrics In English, Plus 4-Page Insert With Lyrics & Notes In Japanese. The Final Album From John Lennon, Featuring “(Just Like) Starting Over”, “Beautiful Boy”, “Watching The Wheels”, “Woman” & More.

The first Japan issue is identified by the blue obi strip & price (¥2,500) and was released when Lennon was still alive. The obi does not mention “John Lennon R.I.P.”, as later editions do.

Condition – Vinyl: EXCELLENT! Couple of light surface marks, plays very well!

Condition – Cover: VERY GOOD! Edge wear, medium ring wear, obi has creases

Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint condition original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

Side 1:
(Just Like) Starting Over
Kiss Kiss Kiss
Cleanup Time
Give Me Something
I’m Losing You
I’m Moving On
Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)

Side 2:
Watching The Wheels
I’m Your Angel
Woman
Beautiful Boys
Dear Yoko
Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him
Hard Times Are Over

    AMG – November 14, 2017

    Lennon's best songs here cement the last part of his legend, capturing him at peace and in love. As legend has it, Lennon spent those years in domestic bliss, being a husband, raising a baby, and, of course, baking bread. He's surprisingly sentimental, not just when he's expressing love for his wife ("Dear Yoko," "Woman") and child ("Beautiful Boy [Darling Boy]"), but when he's coming to terms with his quiet years ("Watching the Wheels," "Cleanup Time") and his return to creative life. These are really nice tunes, and what's special about them is their niceness -- it's a sweet acceptance of middle age, which, of course, makes his assassination all the sadder. Lennon's best songs here cement the last part of his legend, capturing him at peace and in love. According to some reports, that perception was a bit of a fantasy, but sometimes the fantasy means more than the reality, and that's certainly the case here.
