John Lennon’s estate has released a video for the new ‘Raw Studio Mix’ of John Lennon’s classic song ‘Isolation’. The number is displayed John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band – the ultimate collection box set, arriving Friday via Capitol / UMe and available for pre-order.
Filmed at the couple’s home in Tittenhurst Park in Berkshire, England, on July 16, 1971 by Nic Knowland and directed by Lennon and Ono, the video gives an intimate look at the house’s upstairs, with footage from their master bedroom, dressing rooms, balcony and more. The visual shows Easter Eggs, which are timestamped below the clip on YouTube, as well as artwork, books, instruments and furniture from their collection.
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band, the super deluxe Ultimate collection edition of the late Beatle’s solo debut album features 159 songs, including 87 that were never released alongside new mixes. Ono oversaw the massive re-release, using the same audio team that worked on the 2018 Imagine box set (engineers Paul Hicks, Rob Stevens and Sam Gannon).
On Saturday, Ono takes part in Tim Burgess’s Twitter Listening Party series for John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band The Ultimate Mixes, starting at 1:00 PM ET. Ringo Star, Sean Ono Lennon, Klaus Voormann and Alan White are among the guests who will join Ono for the virtual listening party.
