Imagine... More Session Tapes

Two more discs in VigOtone's excellent series documenting the Imagine sessions of 1971. If you don't have the first three discs (Imagine... All The Outtakes), this would not be that great of a find, as it concentrates nearly all the tracks on How Do You Sleep? rehearsals and takes (disc one) and King Curtis sessions of It's So Hard and I Don't Want To Be A Soldier (disc two) (many of which you can hear on the Lost Lennon Tapes radio series, but not on the earlier VigOtone discs or in the Lost Lennon Tapes Bag Records/Walrus Records series to such an extent). But, if you have the first set, you'll want/need/must have these!
