JOHN LENNON: PLASTIC ONO BAND

Details

• Release Year: 2008
• Genre: Documentary, Music
• Plot: John Lennon's 1970 first post-Beatles solo album is a fierce, raw, emotionally painful yet beautiful album. Dedicated to Yoko Ono, it was co-produced by John & Yoko and the legendary Phil Spector. The chords were simple, the instrumentation stripped to the bone (lennon on guitar and piano, Klaus Voormann on bass, Ringo starr on drums) and the lyrics address the basic issues of death, isolation, anger, religion, class, fear and love. Most of thesongs were written while John and Yoko were undergoing primal therapy with Dr Arthur Janov at his center in California and his sessions were the crucial catalyst for the rawness of the writing. Consequently the album is nothing short of an open and sometimes harrowing journey through his life.; ; Through exclusive interviews with Yoko Ono, Ringo Starr, bassist Klaus Voormann, therapist Dr. Arthur Janov, Rolling stone Magazine founder Jan Wenner, via the use of stills and rare audio archive and footage, and by re-vising the original multi-track recordings and demos with Abbey Road engineers Phil McDonald and Richard Lush, the film tells the story of the creativity behind the conception and recordings of these incredibly powerful songs. It's pure and simple: all you need is love, and John had finally found it. Truly a Classic album.
