Imagine, clássico de John Lennon, é relançado em edição comemorativa

Imagine, segundo álbum solo de John Lennon, está sendo relançado em uma edição especial recheada de extras. Intitulada Imagine: The Ultimate Collection, a nova versão conta com nada mais nada menos do que 6 discos e 140 faixas.

O material traz 4 CDs e 2 Blu-rays, incluindo novas mixagens, versões com áudio 5.1, gravações demo e outros extras como outtakes, raridades e faixas com tracks isoladas. O box vem também com o documentário The Evolution Documentary, uma espécie de montagem de áudio que mostra como cada canção evoluiu desde a sua versão demo até a gravação final que chegou ao público. Um livro acompanha a caixa.

O título também terá versões mais enxutas disponíveis em CD duplo, CD simples, Blu-ray, DVD e LP duplo.
