John Lennon

2010 marks the seventieth anniversary of John Lennon’s birth, and the thirtieth of his death. To commemorate those events, the latest in Uncut’s series of Ultimate Music Guides is an essential 148 page magazine dedicated to the Beatles genius.

In The Ultimate Music Guide: Lennon, Uncut’s team of expert writers provide comprehensive new reviews of Lennon’s solo work, with detailed analyses of each one of his albums, and the hidden stories behind these landmark recordings.

We’ve also raided the NME and Melody Maker archives to reprint many extraordinarily candid interviews, unseen for decades, in full.

As with our highly successful Ultimate Music Guides to U2 and Bruce Springsteen, the mag also includes a mindblowingly thorough discography, a guide to rarities and a wealth of info guaranteed to amaze Lennon’s legion of fans. It also, as Uncut does each month, presents the very best in rock photography.
