John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band Revisited

First released in 1970, John Lennon's solo debut has been remixed and greatly expanded for its (belated) 50th anniversary.

With its brutal honesty and raw, stripped-back sound, Plastic Ono Band came as something of a shock to most Beatles fans in the wake of the group's breakup. The album has just been re-released in multiple new mixes, along with demos, alternate versions, jams, and outtakes. Host Devon Strolovitch explores some of the music this Wednesday, May 4 at 9 pm.
