Complete Home Recordings 1975-1980 Househusband Years Vol.2 (5/CD) With Slipcase

Latest work of M Claudel will be the John Lennon of the House Husband phase and title of volume 2, which completely covers the includes first appearance sound a demo that was recorded from 1975 to 1980 called. John, to be called the love from the parent as a child was not received in I’m a light had become a burden of a very big heart. And for Julian of pains bestowed son, just Beatles popularity hit a time that has become global, it was not raised by enough Kama~tsu. It would be the reflection, from birth is Sean between the Yoko in 1975, to stop any of the music activities, will be in the middle of retired state in order to concentrate on raising children. That the period of five years from 1975 in 1980, speaking from the time of the musicians of the cycle, the fact that the five-year period does not release the album is a long period of time it is not even been thought to have retired from the public way.

A posthumous work in 1980 the end of the year “double Fantasy” will be released. It has received a number of interviews as the promotion, but one of them, there was a reporter who asked to be or not the death, such as composer to five years of silence. John in answer to the question “If you are allowed to remain were subjected to guitar wall, it was not touched at all,” says the. Of course, this is an embarrassment and a joke in the fact that after a long time of the album, you can create a number of songs in fact, has been known that you were recording a demo. It becomes aside, the “double fantasy” is great, those condensed the accumulation of the past five years, it does not further squeezed become other to because selection has been music group to the real album of half the number of songs.

When you produce a movie “Imagine” in 1988, Andrew Salt of the director as “the 20th century of the person or not than not a person the image is remaining about this”, has marveled the abundance of the material beneath, I will Such seems John had done consciously that leave the record. Underground sound source that was left of John climbed in the very large number, because there is no systematic and summarized document, the whole of understanding is a difficult situation. Piecemeal in the late ’80s radio program that called the topic in “THE LOST LENNON TAPES” or first appearance sound source has not been recorded, also, such as a new sound source, even in recent years come out, it was really chaotic situation It has become. M Claudel, in order summarized John of the sound source in a systematic manner, the session series for each album, and live recordings have been completed. Studio sessions, followed by live, next is the demo collection. It also recorded a demo of the House Husband era of 1975 to 1980 in a systematic manner.

In carrying to record a demo of John of househusband era, which was not only known to fragmented until now, those famous, and etc. In carrying continue to build in the first appearance sound source, it can be seen that to spend really CD10 sheets minute , need to be recorded huge amount of 80 hours in the time was found. Therefore, it was decided to release as a series divided the demo of this househusband era to five at a time two sets. Even though the demo, or wanted while playing the guitar, or was the piano, it is rich in variety as or use the rhythm machine, it will not get bored those who listen. Also, by listening to the sound of the early stages of making song called demo, and we know very well the process of until the song is completed. For example the famous “Starting Over” was originally Song Title called “Do not Be Crazy”, and that the lyrics had been significantly different, even originally rebuild the song was created as another song such that it was combined into one songs, we are able to perceive from this demo collection.

And here but it is the most important, on the characteristics of the demo, the instrument be of a minimum, only the main is that John’s vocals. John of the great rock ‘n’ roll voice is, you can be fluent in much of whether even this. John would have obtained enough first-class alone song even without a composer, I have that voice heard in vivid ear. If this is the people that are attracted to John, you’ll able to understand that the most attractive of John is in the “that voice”. That vocal to touch the heartstrings of those of mind to listen, but can not be adequately expressed in words, what not being transmitted to sufficient only say “that voice”. John Lennon as a vocalist in a simple performance because, that more fully can enjoy is, you may say that the biggest attraction of the demo.

This work mean that Vol.2, I have recorded a demo of until shortly before death from April 1980. Who is neither than to listen, also There is only demo of the era that does not assume the release, the official still and it features the music that remain unpublished often. This time per the time just before the album release, the process of build up the carefully song has been recorded Katsuaki. Disk 5 from studio outtakes of the two sides of the same coin called Double Fantasy and Milk and Honey album, has been further recorded such as the new sound source. In particular was subjected to sessions with Cheap Trick “I’m Losing You” is a tremendous of word. Please refer to the track list other details.
