Mind Games

John Lennon’s Mind Games is presented here as a definitive, revelatory exploration of the writing, recording and release of Lennon’s celebrated fourth solo album. Described by Yoko Ono as ahead of its time, the project features a Plastic Ono Band lineup and showcases a fan favourite that has endured as a cult classic since its original 1973 release. This beautifully crafted volume combines handwritten lyrics, letters and artworks by Lennon and Ono with previously unseen photographs and direct commentary from the artists, the musicians, engineers and key collaborators who shaped the album. Set against a turbulent period in Lennon's life, including legal and political pressures, the book delves into the creative process, experimentation and the couple’s advocacy for peace and equal rights, offering new insight into the period of transformation that surrounded Mind Games. The publication coincides with a lavish remix and reissue, along with deluxe boxsets, aimed at introducing the album to a new generation of listeners.
