Mind Games (Ultimate Mix) on MIND GAMES vinyl-only 4 Track EP - for Record Store Day 2024

Exclusively in Record Shops for Record Store Day 20 April 2024
MIND GAMES (ULTIMATE MIX)
John: That was a fun track because the voice is in stereo and the seeming orchestra on it is just me playing three notes with slide guitar. On ‘Mind Games’ it’s a Mellotron, on ‘Imagine’ it’s an orchestra. And the middle eight is reggae. I was thinking of it in terms of guerilla warfare. It’s just like inside of a physical guerilla. A ‘mind’ guerilla - a conceptual guerilla. It was originally called ‘Make Love Not War’.
Yoko: John was trying to convey the message that we all play mind games. But if we can play mind games, why not make a positive future with it - to play a positive mind game? ‘Mind Games’ is such an incredibly strong song. At the time, people didn’t quite get the message because this was before its time. Now, people would understand it. I don’t think in those days people knew they were playing mind games anyway.
John Lennon: Clavinet, tambourine, maracas, Mellotron, slide guitar, vocals
David Spinozza: electric guitar
Ken Ascher: pianos, organ, reed organ
Gordon Edwards: bass
Jim Keltner: drums

A very underrated song from an underrated album. Great video; never get tired of watching John. He is sadly missed.

Шедевральная песня с самого слабого альбома Джона Леннона (в его ипостаси "экс-битла")

[@vicentesl4244]

Love from México 🇲🇽❤

John Lennon was the greatest artist on this earth in the last 100 years. No one has had more impact, no one has been more influencial. He was a titan, a force of nature, he is unequalled.

[@qwerty_studios]

[@johnh1508]

Top poser of all time.

[@santaschurings5423]

[@garyc1790]

Hate Record Store Day, so unfair on those who cannot queue for hours…

[@debessar95]

I love John, but I'll never find $1,300 for Yoko and Sean until they stop pretending Julian doesn't exist.

[@markboyd9275]

Shouldn’t these be in the shorts category?
