This week, the guys finally get to dig into the COVID-delayed 51st anniversary edition of what is arguably the greatest post-Beatles Fab Four solo album: John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band (1970).

The Ultimate Collection contains far more than can be covered in a single podcast, so in Part 1, T.J. and Tony tackle the first two discs of the sprawling boxed set, including the Ultimate Mix collection of the original album tracks, as well as the Ultimate Mix outtakes.

The long-awaited compilation may be exhaustive, but does it include any of the long rumoured (and some might say fictional) rarities like:

• An alternate take of Remember with Paul on bass
• The lost O’Jays contribution to Fiddler on the Roof
• Or the Jeff Lynne + Threetles “My Mummy’s Dead”

Tune in to find out!
