Piano Compositions

After the emotionally exhausting Plastic Ono Band writing and recording sessions, it was time for John Lennon to exhibit a lighter compositional touch. Perhaps showing the strain of the single-minded effort that went into his first LP, John, in contrast, often seems all over the place with this batch of songs and noodlings,recorded in the late fall of 1970 at the Tittenhurst Park estate. A rare glimpse into a single, lengthy Lennon piano demo session, Compositions reveals an artist trying to find his way to what would eventually become the Imagine LP. While John is not in the best voice of his career, it's still a fascinating listening experince, highlighted by his brief, slowed down reworking of the Beatles hit "Help". This collection has never before appeared in its entirety from the original source tape.
