Title: Lennon at his best
Review: Lennon returned to his rock 'n' roll roots with this album. In it he belts out some of the old standards--and they are unrestrained, raw and raucous. "Stand By Me" outshines the original. Only a lightening bolt has more energy than these performances. The remastered version contains some new tracks and they don't add a lot to the original. No matter, it's still a must-have for all Lennon fans. By the way, if any of you are ever in Cleveland, make sure you visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The original leather jacket that Lennon wore for the album cover (and it's the same jacket he wore during his Hamburg and Liverpool days) is featured there along with a lot of other Lennon memorabilia. It's rather touching to see it in person.
