Lennon Plastic Ono Band- SHAVED FISH- CD- 1975/1997- Apple Records/EMI Records Ltd.- 077774664226- 400 grn
SHAVED FISH is a compilation album by English rock musician John Lennon with the Plastic Ono Band, issued on 20th October 1975 on Apple Records. It contains all of the singles that he had issued up to that point in the United States as a solo artist, with the exception of "Stand By Me", which had been released earlier that year. The only compilation of Lennon's non-Beatles recordings released during his lifetime. It was also Lennon's final album released on Apple Records before it was shut down in 1975, to be revived in the 1990s. The cover is divided into twelve rectangles: one for each of the eleven songs on the LP and one for the album title. The album title originates from the Japanese food Katsuobushi, a kind of dried fish. The first release of the compact disc in May 1987 suffered from poor sound quality and needed to be remastered. The improved CD version was issued in December 1987, restoring the full fadeouts that were shortened in some of the songs on the original release. At the time of its release, SHAVED FISH didn't attract as much attention as any compilation of John Lennon's work would have either a few years before or a few years after. Lennon had just issued the genre album, Rock 'N' Roll, and was only a year from Walls And Bridges, not one of his strongest albums, and had also grown somewhat stale as a public figure. Drawing on his singles up to that point in his career, it shows a punkier, more defiant vision of Lennon's work than subsequent compilations, which would dwell on a broader cross section of his output. "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" and "Imagine" are moments of peace in the company of artifacts from his political/agitprop ("Power To The People") and primal scream ("Mother") periods, and his attempts at topical songwriting ("Woman Is the Nigger Of The World"), and "Whatever Gets You Thru The Night", which was unique to this LP, was a better piece of mainstream rock & roll than any of the late-'50s numbers that he ground out for Rock 'N' Roll. This collection, which was the last LP release to come from Lennon in any form until Double Fantasy five years later, was the only compilation of his work released in Lennon's own lifetime, and has since been supplanted by various posthumous assemblies of his music.
