{"product_id":"john-lennon-rock-n-roll","title":"John Lennon - Rock 'N' Roll","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Lennon's Rock 'N' Roll is a love letter to the records that made him want to pick up a guitar in the first place, and it plays like a jukebox of his teenage obsessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 1975, the album had a famously chaotic birth. Sessions began in Los Angeles with Phil Spector during Lennon's so-called lost weekend, stalled amid drama and disappearing tapes, then were finished in New York with Lennon producing himself. What emerged is his last album before a five-year break from music, and it carries a sense of a man going back to his roots to remember who he was.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStand By Me is the standout, a soulful, aching reading of the Ben E. King classic that became a hit in its own right. Be-Bop-A-Lula opens the record with a swaggering nod to Gene Vincent, and Peggy Sue gives Buddy Holly a warm, affectionate makeover. The arrangements are big and brassy, with Spector's wall of sound still audible on the earlier tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is Lennon having a whole lot of fun, but it is also a deeply personal record about where he came from. For anyone who loves the Beatles' early covers, this is the grown-up continuation of that story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439074812209,"sku":"600753571019","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/John_Lennon-Rock_N_Roll.jpg?v=1794152198","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/john-lennon-rock-n-roll","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
