John Lennon And Yoko Ono Get Box Set Released With 90 Unreleased Songs

On August 30, 1972, JOHN LENNON & YOKO ONO/Plastic Ono Band with Elephant’s Memory and Special Guests headlined two historic ONE TO ONE Concerts at Madison Square Garden, New York City. These charitable benefit shows played to a combined audience of 40,000 people and helped to raise over $1.5 million (2025 equivalent = $11.5 million) to support children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They were John Lennon’s only full-length concerts after leaving The Beatles and the last two full-length concerts that John & Yoko performed together.

Excerpts from the concerts were featured as part of ONE TO ONE – the critically acclaimed documentary about John & Yoko, directed by Kevin Macdonald and Executive Produced by Sean Ono Lennon. POWER TO THE PEOPLE – the films of the two concerts, directed by Simon Hilton and edited by Ben Wainwright-Pierce – are due for release next year.

Produced by SEAN ONO LENNON leading his 5 x GRAMMY® Award-winning team, both concerts have been completely remixed and re-engineered from scratch by PAUL HICKS and SAM GANNON, using brand new HD multitrack transfers by ROB STEVENS, with the mixes mastered by ALEX WHARTON at Abbey Road Studios. The concerts are available separately as both ‘Afternoon’ and ‘Evening’ shows and also as a single ‘Hybrid’ show. In the Deluxe Box Set, these are available on the Blu-Ray discs in HD Stereo, 5.1 Surround Sound and Dolby Atmos.

THE DELUXE EDITION comprises 121 tracks, 90 of which are never-before-heard and previously unreleased (marked with a † on the track listing). All the tracks in the box set have been completely remixed from the ground up, starting with brand new high-resolution digital transfers of the original multitracks.
