Mind games

New York, 1973. L'America è travolta da una nuova ondata di proteste giovanili e dallo scandalo Watergate, quando John Lennon entra in studio per registrare il suo quarto album solista, "Mind Games": dodici tracce in cui misticismo e impegno politico si intrecciano al racconto di uno dei momenti più turbolenti della sua relazione con Yoko Ono. Quell'amore apparentemente inscalfibile inizia a creparsi, messo alla prova dalle pressioni dei media e del governo statunitense che, temendo la popolarità dell'ex-beatle, cospira in segreto per espellerlo dagli Usa. Attraverso centinaia di foto e manoscritti mai visti, memorabilia e testimonianze dirette, questo libro racconta i retroscena inediti dell'album più enigmatico di Lennon e getta luce su uno dei capitoli più oscuri e misteriosi della sua biografia.

Mind Games

Told in revelatory detail, this is the definitive exploration of the writing, recording and release of John Lennon's celebrated fourth solo album Mind Games. Described by Yoko Ono as 'ahead of its time', Mind Games is a breakthrough album from John Lennon in which he employs a Plastic Ono Band comprising the cream of the crop of New York session musicians - a fan favourite that remains a cult classic ever since its first release on 29 October 1973. This insightful and beautiful book presents handwritten lyrics, letters and artworks by Lennon and Ono, and previously unseen photography alongside their firsthand commentary about the lyrics, songs and album artwork, as well as contributions from the musicians, friends, engineers and key figures involved in the making of this landmark album. Mind Games was the product of an exceptionally turbulent time for the Lennons. While Nixon and Hoover were attempting to have Lennon deported, John and Yoko endured endless litigations, and as the popular press turned on them once again, they bravely rose above it all, continuing their campaigns for non-violent peaceful protest to end the war in Vietnam and for equal rights for women. It was also an exciting time, when they both re-embraced mysticism and magical thinking. In this sumptuous volume, text and images from the key players are woven together to reveal not only the details behind the creation, recording and release of this groundbreaking commercial and skilfully crafted recording, but also to shed new light on a period of transformation and experimentation for Lennon and Ono. Publication of this volume will coincide with extensive publicity surrounding the release of an exceptional, completely remixed and reissued 6 x CD / 2 x BluRay digital edition of Mind Games, together with two deluxe Mind Games boxsets, bringing the album to a new generation of listeners.
