John Lennon on iTunes
And he was exactly right-- Apple has announced that sixteen of Lennon's solo works are now for sale on the iTS, including the "digital debuts" of the Lennon Legend and Acoustic collections. Additionally, for the next 30 days, six of the albums will include exclusive video content-- Working Class Hero looks like it has a "Give Peace a Chance" video on it, and Imagine includes a video for the classic title track. And all of the albums are available not only regular price ($.99 a song), but also at iTunes Plus prices, which means $1.29 a song, but completely DRM free.
First Paul McCartney, now Lennon, and the Beatles has to be just around the corner. Power to the people, right on!
Thanks, Ricky and Zack!

I already plucked three albums and a couple of the Acoustic singles. Still, where the hell is Double Fantasy?

Double Fantasy is here on the UK store, right beneath Working Class Hero.

Where's Ringo and George. They are actually my favorites after the Beatles (in that order).
John and Paul lag behind in my opinion except for a couple of Paul's early solo songs like Uncle Albert and a few others from that time. John had a few good ones, but Ringo and George were consistently better.

Interesting. Maybe I wasn't paying attention before. I signed onto the UK store and previewed some tracks from Double Fantasy. I signed back into the US store, and I see Double Fantasy right there.
What the hell, it's time to buy.

Downloaded the remastered Imagine album in the "Plus" version. All 10 tracks, plus the music video for Imagine, for $9.99. Makes me happy!

So what's the deal with the "clean" tags on the Acoustic album? Did Apple edit the songs or did John self-edit for a TV show or something? It's hard to imagine Working Class Hero without "But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see"
