John Lennon Power

In keeping with previous Lennon box sets, the ‘Evolution’ mixes of New York City track the development of each of its nine songs using demos, rehearsals, snatches of dialogue, and early takes. It’s a thrill to hear these songs take shape and to hear an unguarded and uncompromising Lennon lead the sessions. “I know we’re gonna end up with that clean, clean recorded sound which I hate,” he frets before tearing into a ferocious version of the title track. We hear ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’ transform from an eerie home demo to a rollicking boogie, with some choice Lennon witticisms along the way – “Of course, anyone daft enough to decide to play saxophone deserves torturing” and, when attempting to chivy things on, “C’mon, I want to get on to that female lib song before McCartney gets on to that!”. Meanwhile, the studio sessions for ‘Luck Of The Irish’ show Lennon’s softer side as he coaches Ono through her vocal.

Power to the People is a box set by John Lennon and Yoko Ono released on 10 October 2025 through Mercury Records. The box showcase Lennon and Ono’s historic 1972 One to One concerts at Madison Square Garden, New York City The project received general favorable reviews, although it was criticized for the absence of the song "Woman Is the Nigger of the World",contained in the original live album Some Time in New York City. Commercially the box charted in severals internationals charts, including top-ten debut on German Album Chart.

Missing song aside, the ‘Ultimate Mix’ of New York City is a massive improvement. The up-tempo tracks – ‘New York City’, ‘Attica State’, ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’ – thunder out of the speakers compared to the disappointingly thin originals. Elsewhere, Yoko’s call for female empowerment ‘Sisters, O Sisters’ no longer sounds as if it’s playing on a flexi-disc, ‘The Luck Of The Irish’ benefits hugely from losing its chintzy flute, and removing a few layers of noise from ‘We’re All Water’ reveals the dynamic rocker at its core. Lennon’s voice is pushed to the fore throughout, often at the expense of saxophone – clearly Sean has a similar view on them to his father.
