Mixed and engineered by multi GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer Paul Hicks, who also helmed the mixes for 2018’s universally acclaimed Imagine – The Ultimate Collection series, with assistance by engineer Sam Gannon who also worked on that release, the songs were completely remixed from the ground up, using brand new transfers of the original multi-tracks, cleaned up to the highest possible sonic quality. The collection is available in a multitude of formats including a two CD set as well as a Blu-ray Audio Disc containing the Ultimate Mixes in studio quality 24 bit/96 kHz LPCM Stereo as well as immersive 96 kHz, 24-bit DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and 48 kHz, 24-bit Dolby Atmos surround sound.įrom the official press release for the album we learn: Instant Karma! Power To The People! Give Peace A Chance!Īcross 36-tracks, Gimme Some Truth delivers richly detailed - and mostly true to the originals - new mixes of most of Lennon’s classic solo tracks from his albums and singles. Songs like the set’s namesake –Lennon’s 1971 powerful calling out and slap-down of deceptive politicians, hypocrisy and war, “Gimme Some Truth” - resonate truer than ever in this 21st Century era of fake news and political divisiveness. Presidential election in full swing and American socio-political fractions at an all time high, the times are ripe for a new look at the life-affirming anthems Lennon crafted at the height of late 1960s and early ’70s societal upheaval (Richard Nixon, Vietnam, etc.). Analog in flavor, listening to this has been an enriching experience which, among other revelations, once again reaffirms that digital transfers can be done well if handle-with-care effort is applied. One of the first things I noticed listening to both the new Blu-ray Disc and a 96 kHz, 24-bit advance download of the new John Lennon collection called Gimme Some Truth is that the music immediately sounded warm and rich, much more akin to the original recordings as I remembered them growing up in the 1970s.
