John Lennon Plastic Ono Band is the most critically acclaimed of all ex-Beatle solo music (#22 on Rolling Stones Top 500 Albums of all time ...).
 
This collection of digitally remastered recordings centres on demos, alternate versions and sessions surrounding the introspective John Lennon Plastic Ono Band LP. One can only speculate as to what John might have offered musically had he not been taken by a book contained in an unsolicited package he received from the States. The Primal Scream, Primal Therapy: The Cure For Neurosis was published in 1970 by American psychologist Dr. Arthur Janov, who seemed destined to follow LSD, the Maharishi and heroin in John's never ending search for "the answer". By the end of March, Dr. Janov was on a plane to London to begin private sessions with John and Yoko at their Tittenhurst Park estate. After the first week, the incessant construction at the mansion proved too much of a distraction and therapy was moved to London. Two more weeks of sessions followed, and on April 23 1970, John and Yoko boarded a plane for the U.S. in order to continue with Dr. Janov at the Primal Institute in Los Angeles.

John and Yoko stayed for four months at a rented home on Nimes Road in Bel Air and attended sessions three times a week at the Institute. When they weren't rolling around on the floor, they were either swimming, watching TV or "eating 32 flavors of ice cream". However, it is apparent that John did a little composing as well.
