A new box set – titled ‘Power To The People (Super Deluxe Edition)’ – has been announced to celebrate the political activism of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

The collection of nine CDs, three Blu-rays, and a 204-page book is due to be released on October 10 and will focus on a three-year spell, where the married couple lived in New York City between 1969 and 1972.

Their son, Sean Ono Lennon, took on production duties for the project, which comprises of 123 songs, including 90 previously unreleased tracks.

In a statement released with the announcement of the new box set, Ono Lennon said: “I was completely floored putting this collection together and getting to remix the concerts and hearing all the unreleased material from my parents’ archive for the first time.

“People may not realise how special it is for me to hear my dad talking or to see him. I grew up with a set number of images and audio clips that everyone’s familiar with. So to come across things that I’ve never seen or heard is really deep for me, because it’s almost like getting more time with my dad.”

One specific performance which will be immortalised by the new project is the One To One concert in New York City – Lennon’s final full-length show.

Ono Lennon emotionally recalled this performance, saying: “When I was eleven, my mum put out the Live in New York City album and film. So I grew up listening to it. It was a concert that had a legendary status in my mind, because it was my dad’s last concert.”

A team of five grammy-award winning producers worked with Sean Ono Lennon to comprise the full collection, with Ono Lennon explaining the process they went through: “For the concerts, Paul Hicks and Simon Hilton and I spent a lot of time finding the best possible balance to keep the feeling of a live show while refining the overall sound as much as possible.

“I won’t disclose all our techniques but there was some ‘movie magic’ required, and I think in the end, the shows sound better than ever.”

The box set not only includes the CDs, Blu-rays and book – as it will also feature a newsprint poster, two postcards, two sticker sheets, and two replica ticket stubs, VIP backstage passes and aftershow invitations.

The box set will be released on October 10 via Capitol/UMe and will be available as both a 12-disc box set and a digital version. The collection will cost £169.99 and is available to pre-order now from here.
