DOUBLE FANTASY is the fifth studio album by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and the final one to feature Lennon before his death. Released on 17th November 1980 on Geffen Records, the album marked Lennon's return to recording music full-time, following his five-year hiatus to raise his son Sean. The final album features songs from both Lennon and Ono, largely alternating between the two in its track listing. Other tracks recorded by Lennon from the sessions were compiled by Ono for release on Milk And Honey in 1984. Upon its release, the album stalled on music charts with many focusing on the album's idealisation of Lennon and Ono's marriage. However, following Lennon's murder three weeks after its release, it became a worldwide commercial success and went on to win the 1981 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year. In subsequent decades, the album has been viewed favourably, with Lennon's songs in particular garnering praise as some of his finest. In 2010 was released a remix of the album, titled DOUBLE FANTASY / STRIPPED DOWN, which featured less lavish production than the original. Released as a two-disc set, it included a newly remastered copy of the original album along with an alternative version of the album featuring simpler arrangements without the original's lavish production, with cover artwork by Sean Lennon. This new version really allows us to focus our attention on John's amazing vocals. By stripping down some of the instrumentation, the power of the songs shines through with an enhanced clarity.

The one unreleased item among Apple/EMI's exhaustive 2010 John Lennon reissue campaign was DOUBLE FANTASY / STRIPPED DOWN, a revision of the original 1980 album supervised by Yoko Ono and producer Jack Douglas. The intent of this new mix is to give the recording a greater sense of intimacy, but DOUBLE FANTASY isn’t Let It Be: it doesn’t have a heavily bootlegged original early incarnation, it only exists in its final form. It’s not an album that was designed as a raw back-to-basics record, it was constructed as a slick studio affair. STRIPPED DOWN attempts to take only one coat of varnish off of DOUBLE FANTASY, stripping away reverb and backing vocals, dampening some of the brighter colors and adding some studio chatter to give the illusion of eavesdropping on the studio, trimming the length of some tracks slightly, lengthening a couple other imperceptibly, boosting John’s voice to the front of the mix. Apart from “(Just Like) Starting Over”, where the removal of the doo wop backing vocals undercuts the loving oldies homage of the song, the changes are so subtle that they’re felt more than heard, cumulatively not affecting the impact of the album all that much. Ultimately, STRIPPED DOWN sounds like a rough mix waiting for all the polish that made DOUBLE FANTASY feel like a full, complete album.
