It can get very confusing after a
superstar dies, with all the posthumous recordings that seem to suddenly
appear and reappear decades after the artist is gone. In most cases,
you have to wonder if these recordings are simply ways to exploit the
consumer and add to the coffers of the artist's estate and/or the
respective record labels.
Safe to say that if you want a "best of" by John Lennon that is limited
to one CD, this is the best of the best. And it is incredible.
Lennon's solo work really only a demands a "one" cd compilation anyway.
Not that he lacked talent (although he did have some curious lapses of
quality), but because he simply didn't record that much after the
breakup of The Beatles. A lot of "singles" are here as well that were
never featured on the full length albums.
