John Lennon - Anthology (iTunes)



Most of the solo Lennon albums are £9.99 to download with some obvious cut-price tactics for ‘tier two’ LPs like Live in New York City, Live in Toronto and Acoustic (all of which come in at £7.99). But making the entire 1998 Anthology box set available to download for just £9.99 has to be the bargain of the century. It has 94 tracks in total, although admittedly many of them are short spoken word extracts, either from interviews or the studio. Either way, you’d be mad to spend £7.99 to download the 21-track Wonsuponatime sampler when you could get another sixty tracks from the Lennon archives for just two pounds more. One again the iTunes marketing team have let themselves down though – look carefully at the Anthology sleeve shot and what do you see? A sticker proclaiming “Property of EMI Music A&R Department”!
