Posted on Sunday, August 22 @ 20:00:00 UTC by nightowl

In commemoration of the 70th anniversary of John Lennon's birth, The John Lennon Box Of Vision?, a limited edition individually numbered collection, is now available for pre-order at www.BoxOfVision.com, and will be available at retail this October through EMI Music Services.

Officially licensed by Yoko Ono Lennon, the stunning new collection includes:

A 166-page hard bound book containing all of the John Lennon, and John Lennon and Yoko Ono, LP artwork, brilliantly restored in pristine new LP-size art prints. This is the first time that all of the album artwork has been collected together in a single LP sized book.



The book includes front covers, back covers, gatefolds, and inserts arranged to create the feeling of holding and enjoying the entire LP collection in your lap. It includes the complete artwork from Wedding Album, arranged for the first time in book form; the complete calendar artwork for Live Peace In Toronto 1969; and the complete artwork for all of John's, and John and Yoko's, studio albums, officially released worldwide compilations and live albums originally issued in LP format.

The "Catalography" is a brand new, full colour discography of John's, and John and Yoko's, album catalogue, with an exclusive essay and textual guide; newly restored reproductions of classic Lennon album advertisements; John's handwritten sound notes to Double Fantasy and Milk And Honey; and much more.

The patented BoxOfVision CD storage system, built to store all of John Lennon's official CD releases, can hold up to 32 different CD albums in an expandable and adaptable format to accommodate any fan's collection (CDs not included). The limited edition collection includes 2 art-adorned recordable DVDs, and 2 different recordable CDs, intended for fans to record and store audiovisual and audio content they choose. Yoko Ono has given her permission to create these unique recordable discs using classic John, and John and Yoko, art elements.

Ideal for fans, collectors and holiday gift giving, the limited edition set (less than 7500 numbered copies will be made available worldwide) is the perfect complement to Lennon's re-mastered albums and new collections, to be released October 5th by EMI Music.

The John Lennon Box Of Vision was conceived by Jonathan Polk, of Boxofvision LLC. ?To mark the 70th anniversary of John?s birth, we have created something special that we believe his fans will treasure, and we hope they will pass on to their children as a way of helping to preserve the legacy of John?s music and ideals for future generations,? says Polk.
