John Lennon Plastic Ono Band
« on: March 11, 2004, 03:54:18 PM »

John Lennon Plastic Ono Band is the greatest solo album of all time by any former Beatle because it's creatively, musically, artistically & lyrically a masterpiece of epic proportions showcasing John at his finest & rawest as an artist which would make Bob Dylan blush with great tracks like Mother, I Found Out, Working Class Hero, Well Well Well & God just to name a few which I heard for the first time back in 81 even though it must have shocked Beatles fans at the time but JLPOB is the ultimate solo album by any of the former Beatles.

Various Artists - 'John Lennons' Jukebox'
Release: 8th March
Check out the South Bank Show article here Back to SPIN

"A few years ago a portable jukebox was discovered which belonged to John Lennon in the 1960s.

The jukebox contained some 40 records - Soul, R&B and Rock & Roll - written in Lennon's own handwriting. These are the songs which shaped Lennon's musical education and they reveal many of the original sources of inspiration for his later songwriting.
For example The Isley Brothers whose screaming vocal style The Beatles copied on 'Twist & Shout', American R&B singer Ritchie Barrett who sang the original 'Some Other Guy', blues guitarist Bobby Parker whose guitar lick The Beatles borrowed for 'I Feel Fine, Delbert McClinton who influenced Lennon's harmonica playing on 'Love Me Do' and Donovan who taught Lennon folk guitar style in India.

Now this fascinating discovery is the subject of a South Bank Show (to be screened on 14th March ) and this brilliant double album. The documentary and album also feature Little Richard, Fontella Bass, John Sebastian of The Lovin' Spoonful, Steve Cropper of Booker T & The Mgs and legendary songwriters Leiber & Stoller.

Add Smokey Robinson (Tracks of My Tears/ The Only One I Love/ I've Been Good to You

The late Doris Troy was one of the most talented soul singers of the Sixties who has many fans, not only among the global Soul and Northern Soul scenes, but also via her connections with members of The Beatles. In 1970 she recorded this self titled album for Apple with assistance from an all-star cast including George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Peter Frampton, Stephen Stills, Eric Clapton, Leon Russell, Jackie Lomax and Delaney & Bonnie. Doris, as ever, is in great voice, with tracks ranging from beefy rock-y soul to emotional, slower tunes. The album was produced by Doris, George Harrison and Stephen Stills.

The CD includes five tracks that were not on the original album vinyl taken from non-LP singles and outtakes. Track List:
1. Ain't That Cute (Harrison/Troy) - 3:52
2. Special Care (Stills) - 2:57
3. Give Me Back My Dynamite (Harrison/Troy) - 4:54
4. You Tore Me up Inside (Schinnery/Troy) - 2:27
5. Games People Play (South) - 3:04
6. Gonna Get My Baby Back (Harrison/Starr/Stills/Troy) - 2:17
7. I've Got to Be Strong (Lomax/Troy) - 2:34
8. Hurry (Carroll/Troy) - 3:10
9. So Far (Troy/Voormann) - 4:25
10. Exactly Like You (Fields/McHugh) - 3:06
11. You Give Me Joy Joy (Harrison/Starr/Stills/Troy) - 3:38
12. Don't Call Me No More (Schinnery/Troy) - 2:05
13. Jacob's Ladder (Traditional) - 2:57

Bonus Tracks:
14. All That I've Got (Preston/Troy) - 3:55
15. Get Back (Lennon/McCartney) - 3:06
16. Dearest Darling (Troy) - 2:50
17. What You Will Blues (Troy) - 4:57
18. Vaya con Dios (James/Pepper/Russell) - 3:29

I bought this while I was in the States! It's a great album but the version of Some Other Guy by the Big Three is one of those awful re-makes from the Seventies - dreadful! That's my ONLY complaint though - the rest of the album contains only original versions.

Big member, The big three did not become the Searchers after breaking up the band. John Gustafson and Brian Griffiths formed the Seniors later on and then dispanded again when John Gustafson joined the Merseybeats. Brian Griffiths did session work before immigrating to Canada and John Gustafson when on to numerous bands including Roxy Music and Ian Gillan. It's a pity the Big Three original did not make the record as it blows the doors off any other version with an incredible guitar solo.

I think most Beatles fans would agree with me that JLPOB is probably the greatest solo album by a former Beatle pc31.

I'll never forget the first time I heard PLASTIC ONO BAND in 1978. I was just this 16-year-old teenager who had his depressions and problems. When I put this record on for the first time I was blown away! It was as though John related to everyhting I was feeling, all that pain. I've never had such an experience before or since.

I always recommend this work of art to anyone who's depressed or needs someone to understand. It's not the type of music you enjoy when you're "up".

 I think POB is most definitely my favorite solo Beatle album of all of them. There are certainly strong contenders, particularly in the John/George department, but POB wins hands down.

 I really think POB is one of the greatest albums ever made, no matter who made it. Its like a whole different kind of thing, and at the time that it was made it was unbelivably groundbreaking. Its still sounds so fresh, and he really opened himself up there.

 I kind of think it was one of the first, if not the first, records where the listener was sort of forced into understanding the history of the artist, in order to completely grasp the meaning and power of these songs. That's really amazing.

 As far as messages and politics its a great album but melody wise it's not his best. Mother is my favorite track.
