John Lennon expanded reissues and box set planned in 2010 (Part 2)

The original vinyl is that way as well.

POB on an original UK pressing, the first CD, the remixed CD and the latest. Of all of these, this is the best version on CD that I've heard; while detail may be slightly less sharp compared to the remix, the "sound" of the original mix was truly the way that John, Yoko and Phil intended to hear it.

I really, really, really like the remaster of this.

 

Listening to Plastic Ono Band. It sounds very, very good to my ears as well.

 

My thanks to those who posted the Gimme Some Truth breakdown and the Borders information - I just grabbed it for $18.61 including tax (plus gas for a ten-minute round trip).

 

I think GMST has all the songs from POB on it, so you may not have to get both.

 

Here is a comparison between "Imagine" from the album and from PTTP. Album version first, PTTP second. No volume correction done:

...unless GMST has a different mastering then POB. PTTP tracks are not exactly the same as their corresponding album, so it could be the case for GMST as well.

 

Thanks... I wondered if this was the case. Will investigate further!

 

my Lennon lps are all original pressings...never really needed to bother looking for reissues as the originals are quite affordable.

I guess my question is directed at people who are in possession of originals/and or have heard them with a great enough frequency to do a comparison.
