Gimme Some Truth: The Ultimate Mixes (stylized as GIMME SOME TRUTH. THE ULTIMATE MIXES.) is a compilation album of music recorded by John Lennon over the course of his solo career, each song remixed from new transfers of the original tracks.[2] It was released on 9 October 2020, on what would have been John's 80th birthday.[3] The set was executive produced by Yoko Ono and produced by Sean Lennon.[4]

Background

Gimme Some Truth. The Ultimate Mixes was produced by the team consisting of production manager Simon Hilton, mixer, engineer, and producer Paul Hicks, and mix engineer and producer Sam Gannon—with direction from Yoko Ono and Sean Ono Lennon as the producer and creative director, respectively. The majority of the original tapes from the vault at Abbey Road and New York were digitised at Henson Studios in Los Angeles.[5]

Artwork and packaging

The cover art and supplemental materials were designed by Jonathan Barnbrook. The cover features a profile black and white photo of Lennon, taken the day he returned his MBE.[4]

The versions of the album include a 19-track version (1 CD, or 2LPs), a 36-track version (2 CDs or 4 LPs), and additional 2 CDs + Blu-Ray with a 124-page book.[6]
