Hmm... a lot, lol. Milk And Honey, Menlove Avenue, Live In NYC, The John Lennon Anthology, Imagine (soundtrack), Acoustic, plus the greatest hits ones (John Lennon Collection, Lennon Legend)... I'm sure I'm missing some too.
I've seen some people complaining that these are just getting put about because Yoko wants the money, but I dunno... from the excitement about this new album, it's pretty obvious that a lot of people want to hear the stuff.

Wonsaponatime (probably spelled wrong), but I think that's highlights from the John Lennon Anthology (not sure). I read a thing about Yoko picking out stuff for that one or the Anthology or something, and they asked her to go through his old tapes and choose some, and she didn't want to because she thought it would be too painful, but she decided to because it would make a lot of people happy. And she was listening to them and got all emotional, so she called Sean and he came over to listen to the tapes with her, and he started crying too, and she thought it was because he was just upset and he said "Mom... he was so good!" and she realized that he'd never really realized how good of a musician his father was and she said "Thank you Sean, you're making mommy feel a lot better." I thought that was so cute, I almost cried.
But the point of the story is, she sure as hell ain't doing it for the money.

Aww, Crow, that's the sweetest story. And I agree, Yoko is NOT doing it for the money... people can be so mean about her and it makes me feel bad.  Anyway, that story just made me *melt* it was so sweet. |

Okay, Emma and I agree, this is amazing.
Yunno how when you get a cold and breathe through your nose, you'll sometimes do a little squeaky thing?
If you own the Lennon Anthology or Wonsaponatime, go get it out and listen to Imagine (Take 1). After every line, listen really closely - you can hear John's nose squeaking when he takes his breath, about half the time, throughout the entire song. It's AMAZING. I'm not sure why it's so hysterical but it never fails to crack me up. First time I noticed, I almost choked, and I literally cried, it was so funny. Not to mention I really like Take 1, the synth part is really cool ^_^

I am completely and thoroughly lame.
Let me elaborate.
I'll start off by saying, I want this album. I really want this album. However, as most of you are probably already aware, I won't be getting allowance (my only form of income) until about December because of my eBay thing.
I was at camp for the weekend, as I believe I've mentioned vaugley, and while I was there, I was an absolute celebrity. Or should I say, Julian and I were. My youth group leader told us to bring instruments, so I decided to let Jules (my ukulele in case you haven't heard) tag along. We were hits beyond my wildest dreams XD Friday night, I was sitting on my cot, just messing around with Jules a little bit because I was bored when one of my friends, Kristen, asked me to come over and play something for her. I shrugged, grabbed Jules by the neck, tucked my tabs under my arm and came over. Everyone in the girls loft decided to listen as I began to play an instrumental only, rock version of Something. They liked it, so they asked me to do more. I ran through a couple songs, and then, fatefully, chose Let it Be. In Kristen's words "Oh my God, that was the best music I've ever heard." It might have gone on all night if they hadn't clapped after every song. We eventually got in trouble at about midnight and after the screams of "Hannah's making purple!" died down, we fell asleep. (The rule 'No purple' is based on the concept, if guys are blue and girls are pink, don't make purple. Unfortunatley, Julian is blue.) Anyway, for the next two days I was pestered with a constant "Play Let it Be" by Kristen and the others. I relented a few times and played for them, but as soon as Julian was out, I would have requests and he wouldn't be put away for another half hour. During discussion on Saturday evening, Kristen convinced everyone they wanted to hear the ukulele, and then everyone convinced me to play Hey Jude and Revolution to, for the first time, all 40 people in the camp. On Sunday morning, I played Imagine and Let it Be for a church service. It got a little out of hand, you understand. On Saturday night, everyone wanted to hear Let it Be and they made me play it four times right in a row, because they were all convinced they couldn't fall asleep without it, and we found out later the boys in the opposite loft were listening too. Kristen, terrifyed that she wouldn't be able to sleep at home without listening to me play Let it Be, asked if I could record three or four songs and make a CD for her. I said sure. There was an immediate cry of people saying "I want one too!" or "Will you make one for me?" or even the fateful, "I'll give you a dollar for one" that begins to bring the story to why I was telling it in the first place. Although I was adament that I wasn't charging for them, people wanted to know if I would take 'donations' so I'm now making one to three dollars on every disc and at the moment I have 13 on back order XD Hopefully I will make enough to buy the album on the first day it comes out, or else I will be a very ashamed John lover. Although it is his fault I have no money in the first place.
This is probably one of the craziest things that has ever happened to me. I think it's hysterically funny.

*chuckles* Sounds like you had a great time at camp, hon. And you deserve to be a celebrity! Also, if you have any of those CDs left over, I would completely "donate" a dollar and send you shipping and handling so you could mail it to me. |

Sure XD If anyone here wants one, I can add you onto the end of the list. I'll probably record it tomorrow, and then I'll have to get through the kids from camp who want them, and then I can get to you guys XD
