Fans of Beatles legend John Lennon are in for a treat as previously unreleased performances from the singer’s final full-length solo concerts after The Beatles will be released on the ‘Power To The People – Live At The One To One Concert, New York City, 1972’ vinyl.
The announcement comes ahead of April 12, when Record Store Day is celebrated across the UK. Fans can get their hands on a special 180-gram yellow vinyl, featuring performances by John Lennon and Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band, backed by Elephant’s Memory, from their pair of One to One Benefit Concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The release is limited to just 5500 copies worldwide.
John and Yoko Ono played a matinee and evening performance to a total of 40,000 people in 1972, to benefit children with special needs, and raised over a million pound. The historical event came two years after the The Beatles separated.
Produced by the couple’s son, Sean Ono Lennon, the four tracks have been remixed and re-engineered from the original multi-track tapes by Paul Hicks and Sam Gannon. They include unreleased performances of ‘Well Well Well’, ‘Cold Turkey’ and Yoko’s ‘Don’t Worry Kyoko (Mummy’s Only Looking For A Hand In The Snow)’, while ‘Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)’ has been newly remixed.
