Wall of Sound Rates Re-Mastered "Imagine" High (Entered April 19, 2000) Daniel Durchholz at Wall of Sound was impressed with the job that was done remastering John Lennon's classic album, "Imagine." "Listening to it again in its newly remixed and remastered form, the album has much more to offer than its hymnlike title track, which is still the definition of a classic." Durchholz gives special mention to "the gorgeous" 'Jealous Guy,' 'Oh My Love,' and 'Oh Yoko!' and gives George Harrison and King Curtis a lot of credit. "Among the unsung heroes of Imagine are George Harrison, who plays guitar on four tracks, and King Curtis, who adds saxophone to two. In the crisp and clear new mixes (which were supervised by Ono), their solos really pop. Historians may have a legitimate beef with those who would alter a classic recording in any fashion, but this reworking seems to have been done with thoughtfulness, precision, and love." We know for certain that Yoko spent a great deal of time working on this project, and her love and respect for John, and her attention to detail shine through. Durchholz gave the remastered album a score of 90. |
