John Lennon's Imagine to be Produced in Huge New Box Set

Following the announcement that the 1972 music film Imagine is to be re-released (due to be aired today, September 17^th, with never-before-seen footage), John Lennon's well-known album Imagine is also going to be produced into a brand-new box set.  

Imagine: The Ultimate Collection will be released October 5th. The six-disc, 140-track collection, which consists of two Blu-ray discs and four CDs, will give fans the chance to commemorate Lennon's 78^th birthday on October 9th with some previously unheard material.

The re-released album (via Geffen/UMe) will be made up of many novel additions, including: a new mix of the record; outtakes; raw studio recordings and a track-by-track audio documentary - 'The Evolution Documentary'.   

Imagine will be released at the same time as other audio configurations, which include: a two-CD deluxe edition, one CD remaster, a double LP 180g heavyweight black vinyl and a double LP limited edition 180g clear vinyl edition.

In addition to the new box set, and also due to be released on October 5^th but through Eagle Vision, is the John Lennon and Yoko Ono-directed 1972 film Imagine (in cinemas now) together with the documentary Gimme Some Truth. Both films will be hand-restored and remastered in high-definition with the sound remixed by Grammy-winning engineer, Paul Hicks.

These exceptional re-releases were authorised by Yoko Ono, who managed the production and the creative direction.
