Yoko Ono Lennon and Capitol/UMe will celebrate the 50th anniversary of John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band with a massive reissue, out April 16th.

The super deluxe edition boasts 159 tracks — 87 of which have never been released — across six CDs and two Blu-ray discs. The project was overseen by Ono, using the same audio team that worked on the 2018 Imagine box set (engineers Paul Hicks, Rob Stevens, and Sam Gannon). The announcement is accompanied by a new mix of “Mother,” which you can hear above.

The collection contains unreleased demos, rehearsals, outtakes, jams, and studio conversations. It includes 14 “ultimate mixes” with songs in 5.1 surround sound and 14 raw studio mixes of the tracks without Phil Spector’s production — eliminating tape delays, effects, and reverbs. The “elements” mixes isolate and present aspects from the multitrack recordings to offer deeper levels of detail, while the “Evolution Documentary” traces each song’s genesis from demo to  finished work with instructions, rehearsals, studio banter, and more.
