Double Fantasy

I'm gonna try and post items that I collect or that are in my room and write a small review on it. Many who know me, know that I'm a huge Beatles fan as well as a huge John Lennon fan. (Beatles fans: recognize the "Beatles for Sale" photo in the back?) Anyway, I've been collecting records and photo books (not only of Beatles, though majority of my record & photo book collection are Beatles.)

Let's start with John Lennon's last album before his tragic death, Double Fantasy. Infamously pictured kissing Yoko Ono. When I was young I remembered this picture, I could recognize it off the bat.

Here's the track listing:
1 (Just Like) Starting Over
2 Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him
3 Cleanup Time
4 I'm Losing You
5 I'm Moving On
6 Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)
7 Watching The Wheels
8 I'm Your Angel
9 Dear Yoko
10 Beautiful Boys
11 Kiss Kiss Kiss
12 Woman
13 Hard Times Are Over

I have a lot of favorites from this LP. From John Lennon's Elvis-esque vocals & sound on "(Just Like) Starting Over" to Yoko Ono's electronica, avant-garde, orgasm-reaching "Kiss Kiss Kiss". This LP has everything. Beautiful love ballads like "Woman", cute touching songs that can make you cry like "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)", a song he wrote to his son, Sean Lennon.

It's a tragic shame that John Lennon isn't here today. I still cry about it. He was such a creative genius. There will never be no other like him. RIP.

I hope you guys check it out :)
