History of origin

In October 2010, EMI released a CD box for John Lennon's 70th birthday; the four CDs are thematically structured and each have their own cardboard covers and titles. The CDs are in a cardboard case. The first CD, Working Class Hero , contains songs by John Lennon that deal with political and social issues; the second CD Woman deals with the topic of love for his mother Julia, Yoko Ono and his son Sean . The third CD, Borrowed Time, includes Lennon's tracks that deal with his private life situations. The fourth CD Roots contains the album Rock 'n' Roll , the live version Hound Dog and another four (co-) compositions by John Lennon that have been influenced by the music style Rock 'n' Roll .

The CDs contain 20 single A-pages that were released between 1969 and 1988; the only not included, internationally released single is Every Man Has a Woman . The album also contains the German single Ya Ya from the Rock 'n' Roll album .

All titles are from the remastered re-releases that came out in October 2010. Only the CD box (CD Roots ) still contains the following remastered tracks: Yer Blues (Live) from the album Live Peace in Toronto 1969 ; Hound Dog from Live in New York City and Here We Go Again from the album Menlove Ave.

This box also includes a card called 'Online' that contains a registration code for the John Lennon Universe website . The CD box contains a 24-page booklet that shows photos, two drawings and two handwritten lyrics by John Lennon; the booklet also contains explanations by Anthony DeCurtis.

Only Yoko Ono is mentioned as the producer , which probably only applies to the production of the CD, since the respective producers are specified in the accompanying book for the music.

It was not published in LP format.
