John Lennon - Acoustic - Parlophone 8744282

I have very mixed feelings about this album. It's great to hear Lennon again singing some of his best and most acerbic material accompanied just by acoustic guitar. But it's a motley collection put together presumably to match the popularity of the "unplugged" format. The sound quality varies hugely and some were clearly never intended for release. However, "Working Class Hero", "Watching the Wheels" and even the live version of "Imagine" are worth it. "Woman is the nigger of the world" took a little explaining to the kids when it came on in the car, but their political sensibilities are developing fast.
