Was the track you did "Crippled Inside"?
Yes it was. That's the one that I worked on just bashing out chords. They put me down as a guitarist. That was an administrative error on somebody's part. It wasn't anything serious, it was just John Lennon doing his usual/unusual stuff.

Reviews
- Awesome pressing! Sounds very dynamic and detailed! I love it!
I'm pleased with my copy of this pressing. It's very quiet and clean, no issues at all. Harrison's dobro sounds great on "Crippled Inside", and his solo on "Gimme Some Truth" is ferocious. He's a big contributor to several of the songs on IMAGINE. Strange how your tastes change as you age, whereas I used to regard "I Don't Want to be a Solider" as a dreadful dirge, I now hear it as a great jam. But back then I didn't even know who King Curtis was. Live and learn.
Edited 3 years agoI bought this record and my copy had a major issue on side two, track 3 (How do you Sleep) was glitchy, it was full of skip.- I just got this record and have yet to play it, but I'm on here because my record came with two copies of the John Playing Pan-Pipes Postcard, along with everything else. Did this happen to anyone else or am I just lucky?
This "Back to Black" pressing is a brilliant reissue of "Imagine" in my opinion! The album sounds as great as ever due to the remaster and is very well presented. The poster, postcards, and printed inner sleeve are all present and look great. Don't be shy to pick up a copy, they've done an excellent job here and you know you need this classic album!
Mine plays almost dead silent and sounds great aside from some distortion on the title track. Purchased last week.
This has some surface noise and there isn't inky a black, but this is still a good album.
Any comment? Usually I hate Back to Black series, but who knows.
