Here's Lennon's sneering retort to McCartney's Too Many People, recorded for the Imagine album at his Tittenhurst Estate in 1971. Despite later denying that the song had anything to do with his former partner in song, the vicious lyrics ("the only thing you done was Yesterday" etc.) and the presence of George Harrison on guitar still give this clip extra sting.
Rock Island Line (Cover, 1972)
The Beatles were all huge fans of Lonnie Donegan and this clip of Lennon jamming the king of skiffle's crossover hit shows that his admiration for pre-'60s rock'n'roll remained undimmed.
Attica State (Some Time In New York City, 1972) Apple/EMI
Some Time In New York City remains a shambolic artefact of John & Yoko's sojourn into the world of Jerry Rubin (seen here on the far right) and his army of yippie activists. Here's Lennon's commentary on the Attica State prison riots of 1971.
Mind Games (Mind Games, 1973) Apple/EMI
Dismissed by Lennon as "just an album... rock'n'roll at different speeds", the songs on Mind Games soundtracked his 18-month Lost Weekend split from Yoko. The title track eventually made the US Top 20.
#9 Dream (Walls & Bridges, 1974) Apple/EMI
The number nine returns to the Lennon universe, this time in the form of a dreamy ballad taken from 1974's Walls & Bridges.
Stand By Me
(Rock'n'Roll, 1975) Apple/EMI
Lennon's cover of Ben E. King's soul standard retains the original's arrangement and sees the rock'n'roll obsessive adding serrated 3am vocals.
Watching The Wheels
(Double Fantasy, 1980) Apple/EMI
After a five-year absence, Lennon and Ono's return to the pop world arrived in the form of Double Fantasy (reissued this month in Stripped Down format). This video was put together for the posthumous single release.
