I just received the Signature Box and it is simply breathtaking. I'm completely head over heels in love with it and I'm going to take the rest of this year to celebrate the greatness of John with each album. There's beautiful dedications from Yoko, Julian, and Sean inside that are so heartfelt, a book filled with John's life in words/pictures by Anthony DeCurtis, and another book with a special John drawing. But most of all...the music. I am going to take my time listening through all the albums as well as the special bonus album. It's all so much and so gorgeously put together. People can say what they will about Yoko but she has honestly taken such care in preserving John's legacy. I approve.

I envy you - I'll probably have to wait 'till Christmas before I obtain the Signature Box... lest you give me your copy? Thanks for the detailed description!

^ You're so welcome! Did anyone get the Stripped Down Double Fantasy? I'm asking because I want to know what others feel about it. Personally I felt like I was listening to a whole new disc, and John's voice- which is one one of my favorite singing voices ever- is stark, immediate, emotive...it's not buried in all the music or masked by studio trickery or background vocals. And I love that stuff too, but this album sounds so fresh now with this approach. It's definitely new because I'm so used to associating the music with the horrible events that followed. But now I can take it in for what it was: a simple heart play on the joys and trials of a man approaching middle age with humor and wisdom.

"Watching the Wheels" is stunning in this form. And "Beautiful Boy" almost broke my heart. I've always loved this album but now I think I'm loving the "new" versions of these songs to a different extent. I could just be in a very John mood these days but still...I'm falling in love all over again with Double Fantasy and highly recommend the new album.

I did buy the Double Fantasy stripped down version.I will be getting the Signature Box as soon as I am able to.I loved it.Its cool and interesting listening to John talk in the background while recording it on the first disk.I also recommend this.

Now for a little more news before Johns 70th birthday tomorrow October 9th.
John Lennon is the first animated Google video doodle
You Tube has created a global Yoodle of the YouTube logo, to be launched in 25 countries at 9pm PT on Friday, October 8th and to remain live for 24 hours. The Yoodle will be synced to cover Lennon’s October 9th birthday in all regions. Google has created its first-ever video doodle, which presents sketched animation featuring John Lennon’s self-portrait set to an audio clip of Lennon’s iconic song, “Imagine.” It was created by Google doodler, Mike Dutton, with Yoko Ono’s approval.

Thanks for all the information about the Lennon commemorations msLinds!
on Tuesday and thought it looked like a nice set, but I have so many John Lennon cd's I decided to pass on it....for now.

msLinds, I think all of us who are John fans should keep posting any new events on this thread. I appreciate it. I wasn't able to travel out to any of the John-themed affairs but I did go to the Rock Hall and there were so many people just sitting out on the lawn listening to John's songs and wearing JL shirts. Some people were strumming guitars, others were having sing-alongs. And so many were really young. I think his music, and the Beatles music, has that power to resonate (still) with young people.

I think I may venture out to NYC in December. I have to figure it all out but I really feel like doing it. I love the vibe of New York in the winter anyway.
