Čtyřdiskový komplet vyšel osmnáct let po Lennonově smrti. Obsahuje dosud nevydané nahrávky, domácí demosnímky, živé nahrávky a alternativní verze vydaných skladeb. Na podporu prodeje byl natočen stominutový rozhlasový pořad, který americké stanice odvysílaly v předvečer vydání. Příprava alba trvala osmnáct měsíců, po které Yoko Ono s Robem Stevensem probírali 2000 hodin Lennonových nahrávek, jejichž technická kvalita byla velmi různorodá.

It is my pleasure and privilige at this very solumn moment to introduce a young man and his wife, who saw fit to put down in music and lyrics so that it will never be forgotten in our country by anyone, the tragedy of Attica State. There's no more that I can say, Ladies and Gentlemen. I would like to introduce you to John and Yoko Lennon. I'd just like to say, it's an honour and a pleasure to be here at the Apollo and for the reasons we're all here. This song, Yoko and I wrote, is called Attica state. One two three four! What a waste of human power What a waste of human lives Shoot the prisoners in the towers Forty-three poor widowed wives Attica State, Attica State we're all mates with Attica State Media blames it on the prisoners But the prisoners did not kill "Rockefeller pulled the trigger" That is what the people feel Attica State, Attica State we're all mates with Attica State Free the prisoners, jail the judges Free all prisoners everywhere All they want is truth and justice All they need is love and care Attica State, Attica State we're all mates with Attica State They all live in suffocation Let's not watch them die in sorrow Now's the time for revolution Give them all a chance to grow Attica State, Attica State we're all mates with Attica State Come together join the movement Take a stand for human rights Fear and hatred clouds our judgement Free us all from endless night Attica State, Attica State we're all mates with Attica State Attica State, Attica State we all live in Attica State Attica State, Attica State Attica, Attica, Attica, Attica. Thank you, aah, thank you, thank you, aah. Some of you, eh, wonder what I'm doin' here with no drummers and no nothin' like that. Well, you might know I lost my me old band or I left it. I'm puttin' a, I'm puttin' an electric band together it's not ready yet. Ah, things like this keep comin' up so I just have to busk it. So I'm gonna sing you a song now you might know. It's called Imagine. |

Dva tři čtyři! Představ si, že není nebe to je docela snadné žádné peklo pod námi nad námi jen obloha představ si, že všichni lidé žijí pro dnešní den. Představ si, že nejsou státy to není nijak těžké není proč zabíjet a umírat a taky není náboženství představ si, že všichni lidé žijí život v míru. Můžeš říct, že jsem snílek ale nejsem jediný doufám, že jednou se k nám přidáš a svět bude jako jeden. Představ si, že není majetek schválně, jestli to dokážeš není důvod k chamtivosti a hladu všichni lidé jsou bratři představ si, že všichni lidé se dělí o celý svět. Můžeš říct ...

OK, one two three, one two three! If you had the luck of the Irish You'd be sorry and wish you were dead You should have the luck of the Irish And you'd wish you was English instead! A thousand years of torture and hunger Drove the people away from their land A land full of beauty and wonder Was raped by the British brigands! Goddamn! Goddamn! If you could keep voices like flowers There'd be shamrock all over the world If you could drink dreams like Irish streams Then the world would be high as the mountain of morn In the 'Pool they told us the story How the English divided the land Of the pain, the death and the glory And the poets of auld Eireland If we could make chains with the morning dew The world would be like Galway Bay Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns The world would be one big Blarney stone Why the hell are the English there anyway? As they kill with God on their side Blame it all on the kids the IRA As the bastards commit genocide! Aye! Aye! Genocide! If you had the luck of the Irish You'd be sorry and wish you were dead You should have the luck of the Irish And you'd wish you was English instead! Yes you'd wish you was English instead!

I'd like, this morning to sing you a little ditty that occured to me in the throes of my sleep. It's called Life begins at 40. They say life begins at forty age is just a state of mind if all that's true you know, that I've been dead for thirty-nine. And if life begins at forty well, I hope it ain't the same it's been tough enough without that stuff I don't wanna to be born again. Well, I tried to sweep the slate clean with a new broom ev'ry day if that don't work, I'll jerk around until my next birtday. Yeah, life begins at forty age is just a state of mind well, if all that's true you know that I've been dead for thirty-nine. |

Lidi říkaj, že jsem línej celý život jenom sním všemožně mi radí aby mě mohli osvítit když říkám, že se mám fajn tak čerta na zeď malují abys ten čas hochu nepropás už nejsi dávno na koni. Já tu jen tak sedím a na kruhy koukám jak se kolem dokola točí fakt mám rád, jak se točí připadám si jako na kolotoči jen bych je měl nechat být. Lidi otázky kladou sami ve zmatku ztracení já říkám, to není problém je jen řešení hlavou vrtí a myslí že jsem se pominul když jim říkám, ať zpomalí já jen sedím a sleduju čas.

Out on the ocean sailing away I can hardly wait To see you come of age But I guess we'll both just have to be patient 'Cause it's a long way to go A hard row to hoe Yes it's a long way to go But in the meantime Before you cross the street Take my hand Life is what happens to you While you're busy making other plans Beautiful, beautiful ... Out on the ocean ... Before you go to sleep Say a little prayer Every day in every way It's getting better and better Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy Darling, darling, darling Darling boy Good night, Sean |

The great wok

Hello, hello, testing, testing! At this time of year, oh let me first introduce myself. Maybe you have heard me before, I am the great wok. And as you know, the great wok must be done. Now, at this time of year when Brahama is in Brahma. The day of Brahma is set to last one thousand years and its night is of equal length. Well, for us human being, this is the end of the year now and our minds turns towards what is laughably called the future. No mind can comprehend the infinite and absolute anon munsch Mars stunvelly humpff, as we say in the Himalayas. Now let me tell you, my resolution of the year 1979 is to renounce complete everything, but complete luxury and self indulgance. Now I suggest this is going to be very, very difficult, very difficult indeed. I feel it's my duty, not only as a human being but as a person or was it not george formy who said there are four billion three hundred and twenty million mortal or earth years which is one day of Brahma. So, one way of looking at it is simply not to look at it at all. And that's exactly what we're going to do now. So we'll settle down, deeply, I hope, and comfortably in an easy chair and then, lay back, put the incense on, light the candles and give yourself a hard time. |

Oh yeah, man, do you Mr. Jones? Town now I've been here so long, I almost forgot my name. I said, Lord I been here so long I almost forgot my name.

Well, thank you, Mr. Jitters. Thank you, Mister Jitters. The official Soviet newspaper said, the temple members have protested the mindless arms waste from the filthy war in Vietnam. And were persecuted and finally forced to seek refuge in another country. Wow. Sounds like a ballad to me, oh man. Bankok, Thailand, they've launched an air-sea search for a fishing boat carrying some foreign Vietnamese refugees, the boat was towed back out to sea for a ride in Thailand. Sources said that it was because of a breakdown in communicatin. Oh Lord, the boat was towed into Thai waters by a German freighter and the Thai navy are unaware that the refugees have been guaranteed a resettlement and worst the only took the boat out to sea after providing all passengers with provision. Hey, that's deep man. The Chinese newspapers have made the first reference to the country's curtain wall posted campaign according to vice premiar Deng Xiaoping. And said that the country's stable and its leaders are confident and planning modernisation and programs. Oh this should get me in the village bar. Deng gave blessing to the campaig but he commented not all the opinions of the masses are carefully thought out or can we demand that they all be correct. Adding this is nothing terrible. It' bad enough, but its not terrible. From a prison, Richard Nixon, on his second trip outside the United States, sent his fesignation with a smiling hand shake politician again. Greedy crowds outside his hotel, and trying a little French. They sure as hell didn't try it on Pam Nixon. Mr. Nixon is in Paris and inside this suite to be interviewed on French television. They thought of going on to deliver a speech in England, he'll participate in the French collegue program and said he will answer questions in Welsh. That's pretty big Mr. M. ahhh, I'm so cynical, I could just keep on doing this forever because, you know, they ain't gonna be lookin' for my golden bunnions in a hundred years from now. They're gonna be sellin' my socks like Judy Garland. And I hope that they get a good price. I mean, with the inflation and the price of rice. Man, I shouldn't worry, I own all my songs and I wrote them myself too. I got 24 children, 14 wives, 3 mistresses, 59 accountants, 105 lawyers, 2.000.000 fans, a posted system that never fails to land me in jail. And look through my mail. Perhaps have a garage sale. And you know, go save the whale, and a, you know, get a boat and go for a sail, and, and, oh oh oh oh, how do you get out of this hell? Stuck inside of a lexicon with the Roger thesaurus blues again. Sometimes I wish I was just George Harrison, you know all the answers, oh my god, oh my god. |
