專輯介紹:
約翰·溫斯頓·藍儂,MBE(英語:John Winston Lennon, MBE,1940年10月9日-1980年12月8日)是一名英國搖滾音樂家、創作歌手、作家與積極的和平邉蛹遙?隕頌榕?^四樂團創團團員揚名全球。藍儂與保羅·麥卡尼的合作是20世紀最成功也是最具影響力的創作組合之一,並「創作了搖滾史上最受歡迎的歌曲」,他在單曲榜史最有成就的作曲家中名列第二,僅次於麥卡尼[。因其在音樂界的活躍和貢獻,在1965年獲英國女王頒發的大英帝國勳章。
藍儂在他的音樂、電影、書作中,甚至在記者會與專訪時,總是顯露出一種桀驁不馴、反抗權威的性格與尖刻而諷刺的才思。與他的妻子小野洋子同為激進和平主義者與視覺藝術家,所以其作品亦是極具爭議性。在披頭四樂團解散後,藍儂發行《約翰藍儂/塑膠小野樂團》與《想像》等備受讚譽的專輯,也創作了〈Give Peace a Chance〉、〈Imagine〉等傳唱度極高的經典歌曲,順利開創了單飛生涯。為陪伴兒子尚恩成長而自願「引退」,之後藍儂以專輯《雙重幻想》復出樂壇,但發行不到一個月的時間便遭到槍殺,該專輯在1981年獲得葛萊美獎年度最佳專輯獎座。
在2002年的一次BBC民調票選百大偉大英國人中,藍儂名列第八;2004年於《滾石》雜誌的「不朽傳奇:史上最偉大的五十位音樂家」中排行第38,而披頭四樂團本身名列榜首;2008年亦再度入選《滾石》史上最偉大的五十位歌手排行榜。藍儂逝後,分別於1987年與1994年入選創作名人堂及搖滾名人堂。這專輯收錄著約翰·藍儂從1969年到1980年的最佳個人獨唱歌曲。
Lennon's solo career began with Unfinished Music No 1 - Two Virgins. The sleeve depicted him and Ono standing naked, and the cover became better known than the disjointed sound effects contained within. Three months later Lennon issued Unfinished Music No 2 - Life With The Lions. The Plastic Ono Band enjoyed radical hits with 'Give Peace A Chance', 'Cold Turkey' and 'Instant Karma'. The groundbreaking John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band, released in January 1971 was both brilliant and disturbing. The following year Sometime In New York City was issued. At the end of a comparatively quiet 1973, Lennon released Mind Games, an album that highlighted problems between him and Yoko. November 1974, he made his last ever concert appearance when he appeared onstage at Madison Square Garden with Elton John.
Rock 'N' Roll was released the next year; it was a tight and energetic celebration of many of his favourite songs, including 'Stand By Me'. Five years later, Double Fantasy was issued. The following month, with fans still jubilant at Lennon's return, he was suddenly brutally murdered by a gunman outside his apartment building in Manhattan.
The John Lennon Collection is a single-CD anthology of the man's work. Includes Imagine; Give Peace a Chance; Instant Karma; Mind Games; (Just Like) Starting Over; Whatever Gets You Through the Night; #9 Dream and more.
