JOHN LENNON ANTHOLOGY is a nine-CD/DVD 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. During the great John Lennon revival of the late '80s, Yoko Ono licensed to have the Westwood One Radio Network air scores of unreleased home recordings and demos as the Lost Lennon Tapes radio show. Despite the bootlegs, Ono didn't agree to an official collection of unreleased Lennon material until 1998, after the Beatles' Anthology series proved a critical and commercial success. Hence, the birth of Lennon's Anthology - a nine-disc box set, comprised entirely of unreleased home recordings, demos, and outtakes, many of which have never been previously bootlegged. As it's constructed, it's more of an aural biography than a music album. As such, there aren't really any forgotten treasures buried on the collection, even if many of these songs and takes are either completely unheard of or legendary among collecting circles. Ultimately, it doesn't matter if there are no major works or revelations, just a few good alternate tracks, because JOHN LENNON ANTHOLOGY goes a long way toward capturing Lennon with all of his strengths and weaknesses.

... Elton’s gonna die young. I’m going to be a ninety year-old guru ... It’s still interesting and has a number of qualities that make it desirable, if not really essential, for any John Lennon-Fan. Of course the archival approach, which chronologically captures different stages of Lennon's 1970s and puts studio babbling next to more or less interesting demo tapes next to more or less developed hidden gems without distinguishing or paying attention to sequencing, makes it less of a musical temporary exhibition of lost greats, and more of a musical trip through the vaults of a museum. As far as archival interest goes though, it has been made sure that only the interesting stuff is on display. ''Interesting'' in any possible sense of the word, though. This is still pretty much the only place were you can pick up the versions Lennon recorded himself. This is only way to listen to John Lennon. You can almost imagine him sitting on his king sized bed, (Yoko nearby), and strumming his guitar into a cheap tape recorder as he plays creates these lofi masterpieces. Anyone who finds Double Fantasy to be a bit of a let down will be overjoyed to hear how good the singles on that album sounded with just John's voice and his guitar. Many of the alternative takes to be superior to what was released on the original albums. JOHN LENNON ANTHOLOGY does exactly what the Fabs' did and that was to shine a light on the obscure and forgotten corners of a career. Some of John's new songs, presumably for the follow-up to Double Fantasy, are extraordinary, the demos are fascinating, and the Dylan parody is devastatingly clever. This is a box-set every single Lennon fan need to own, despite some weak moments. This is Essential for any Lennon fan. If you want to criticise this from a collector’s perspective, your strongest argument would be that this is more of a musical Lennon-biography, primarily aimed at Lennon collectors, and only secondarily at music collectors. Strongest evidence in favour of this would be the Acoustic compilation published in 2004, which contains 16 songs, nine of which are here, and seven of which aren’t. Why not? Oh, right.
