The Complete Lost Lennon Tapes 07 e 08

Chegamos ao quinto volume da série Lost Lennon Tapes e o primeiro disco Tem início com um outtake de Mother, feito durante as sessões para o disco Plastic Ono Band seguido de duas faixas só conhecidas na pirataria, Howling at the Moon e Memories, ambas em formato demo. Destaca-se ainda a demo original de Happy Xmas, vários outtakes iniciais para músicas do disco Double Fantasy e duas músicas, Mucho Mungo e Mount Elga, gravadas durante as sessões feitas por John e Harry Nilson.

O disco termina com a famosa gravação da música Stand By Me atribuída a John e Paul feita em 1974 e constando como sendo a última vez que os dois se encontraram pra cantar alguma coisa. A música era velha conhecida da pirataria quando do lançamento do disco pirata A Toot and a Snore. No segundo disco, destaque para um outtake para a faixa Yer Blues, feito durante as sessões para o projeto Rock'n Roll Circus e uma curiosa versão de How onde John canta na introdução a música People Get Ready. Ressalta-se ainda a inclusão do primeiro take da música Real Love e outtakes para três faixas do disco Imagine. Qualidade de som 9-10.
