John Lennon: Working Class Hero

Herald rating: ***

Coined to commemorate Lennon's 65th birthday and the 25th anniversary of his death, this 38-track double CD takes 1998's previous Legend collection, adds some new but undistinguished mixes and pads it with a few unremarkable, mostly Plastic Ono band, album tracks and compiles them frustratingly non-chronologically.

It's subtitled "The Definitive Lennon" - but wasn't he in some other band before this patchy period?

Label: EMI
