Lennon Remembers: The Working Class Hero

Darthdisc DD003/4

The first two discs of a four CD set of the tapes for the famous Rolling Stone December 1970 interview with Jann Wenner, published in the January 21, 1971 issue of Rolling Stone and then later in book form as Lennon Remembers. Normally, I don't particularly like inteview discs, and don't list them here, but the historical significance of this one surpasses all others (except maybe the final interview), and it's facinating listening, so here it is.

For those who want to follow along in the book, I've included the page numbers from the latest edition (Verso, 2000) of Lennon Remembers.
