1998 box set by John Lennon
John Lennon Anthology
is a four-CD box set of home demos, studio outtakes and other previously unreleased material recorded by
John Lennon
over the course of his solo career from "
Give Peace a Chance
" in 1969 up until the 1980 sessions for
Double Fantasy
and
Milk and Honey
.
The anthology was divided by its compiler and co-producer,
Yoko Ono
, into four discs representing four eras in Lennon's solo career: "Ascot", "New York City", "The Lost Weekend" and "Dakota".
[5]
John Lennon Anthology
reached number 62 in the United Kingdom and number 99 in the United States, where it went gold.
[6]
A one-disc distillation of the highlights of the box set was released as
Wonsaponatime
. Many of the tracks were edited down from their versions on
John Lennon Anthology
.
Wonsaponatime
failed to reach the US charts but peaked at number 76 in the UK.
