Notes

Imagine was first issued on CD by EMI in the UK on 18 May 1987. As was the practice at the time, EMI manufactured the CDs in Japan and matched them with covers made in the UK. In the USA Capitol issued the CD on 17 March 1988. The Japanese CD (CD32-5451) featured a mono version of How Do you Sleep?

On 14 February 2000 EMI/Capitol issued a digitally remastered and remixed edition of Imagine on CD (7243 5 24858 2 6).

It was also reissued on 22 August 2003 by MFSL Original Masters Recordings as an Ultradisc II 24 kt. gold CD (UDCD-758).

Comments and Reviews


JPGR&B SUBS ● 17th Sep 2016		I don't think Mind Games is quite the same. Nevertheless, there does seem to be some revisioning/reversioning of how Imagine is credited. The inside of the J-card of this 1999 CD single release again refers to John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band (With The Flux Fiddlers) as the artist, although the front of the J-card just refers to John Lennon. Whilst we do normally go with the label or cover, where additional information is available within the packaging about the artist for the album, I don't see this is a problem. What does Dr Doom think?



TopPopper 16th Sep 2016		I see it, but we wouldn't normally go by the album credits inside - we'd go by what's printed on the cover/label. Otherwise, we would remove John Lennon from this and say the album is by "The Plastic U.F.Ono Band", as per the credits (2nd last page of the booklet).



JPGR&B SUBS ● 16th Sep 2016		Take a look at page 6 of the booklet.



TopPopper 16th Sep 2016		Good point - unless there's a reason it needs to change.



philwill SUBS 16th Sep 2016		The only artist on the release is just John Lennon, so why is this John Lennon And The Plastic Ono Band (With The Flux Fiddlers)?



PhilMH 19th May 2014		I suspect that the Australian issue would have been an overseas pressing, most likely UK/Europe, but occasionally EMI Australia did release US or Japanese pressings. However, I never bought a copy at the time, and I don't know anyone who has one! Australian factories became operative in the early 90's or thereabouts, so from then on I expect there would have been Australian pressings with the same catalogue number (I can't imagine that it was deleted until the reissue of a few years ago).



fixbutte 19th May 2014		Syd Vliet is definitely right, the main cat# CDP 7 46641 2 is the European (& International) cat#, not the UK one. Actually it was also used in the USA, though not with the EMI label but with the Parlophone label (and possibly with the sole Capitol label before). Discogs has the EMI issue as "UK & Europe" which rather means Europe for us. Thus I'll change this issue to Europe until we know for sure about a worldwide (except USA and Japan) release of it.



Syd Vliet 18th May 2014		I don't know if the UK number appeared on copies sold across Europe, but the UK cat number is in smaller print below the main one, which was used for Europe. So going by what was discussed on the JL/POB disc entry (and others), it probably should be changed as the UK reference would be a relatively insignificant variation and the mods apparently don't want to encourage multiple entries for what is basically the same release.



TopPopper 18th May 2014		If this edition with the UK note was definitely sold across Europe, then it would be international - but not because the disc was made in Japan. Are you certain that was the case?



Syd Vliet 18th May 2014		It was on sale across Europe at least and it may have been sold in Australia as well, but Japan and the US did have their own variations.



TopPopper 18th May 2014		I'm struggling a bit with the country designations. Everything about the CD says UK to me. It has UK above the barcorde on the back, and a UK cat number on the disc. It's just that the CD itself was manufactured in Japan. But does that make it an international release? I wouldn't have thought so - why would it have UK-specific notation if it were intended for sale in, say, Japan, or France?



Syd Vliet 18th May 2014		Added the 8 page booklet. My disc was made in Japan and has two cat numbers, so this probably needs to be changed to an 'International' release.
