ROCK ’N’ ROLL is the sixth and final solo studio album by English musician John Lennon. Released on 17th February 1975, it is an album of late 1950s and early 1960s songs as covered by Lennon. Recording the album was problematic and spanned an entire year: Phil Spector produced sessions in October 1973 at A&M Studios, and Lennon produced sessions in October 1974 at the Record Plant. Lennon was being sued by Morris Levy over copyright infringement of one line in his Beatles song "Come Together". As part of an agreement, Lennon had to include three Levy-owned songs on ROCK ’N’ ROLL. Spector disappeared with the session recordings and was subsequently involved in a motor accident, leaving the album's tracks unrecoverable until the beginning of the Walls And Bridges sessions. With Walls And Bridges coming out first, featuring one Levy-owned song, Levy sued Lennon expecting to see Lennon's ROCK ’N’ ROLL album. The album reached number six in both the United Kingdom and the United States, later being certified gold in both countries. The cover photo was taken by Jürgen Vollmer during the Beatles' stay in Hamburg. It was to be Lennon's last solo album. With no recording contract obligation, he was on hiatus from the music business to raise his son Sean. Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono staged a comeback with their joint release Double Fantasy in 1980. In 2010, the original album mixes were remastered and the album was available separately.

Although the chaotic sessions that spawned this album have passed into rock and roll legend and the recording's very genesis has often caused it to be slighted by many of the singer's biographers, ROCK ’N’ ROLL, in fact, stands as a peak in his post-Imagine catalog: an album that catches him with nothing to prove and no need to try. Lennon could, after all, sing old rock and roll numbers with his mouth closed. He spent his entire career relaxing with off-the-cuff blasts through the music with which he grew up, and ROCK ’N’ ROLL emerges the sound of him doing precisely that. Four songs survive from the fractious sessions with producer Phil Spector in late 1973 that ignited the album, and listeners to any of the posthumous compilations that also draw from those archives will know that the best tracks were left on the shelf. But a gorgeous run through Lloyd Price's "Just Because" wraps up the album in fine style, while a trip through "You Can't Catch Me" contrarily captures a playful side that Lennon rarely revealed on vinyl. The remainder of the album was cut a year later with Lennon alone at the helm, and the mood remains buoyant. It might not, on first glance, seem essential to hear him running through nuggets like "Be Bop A Lula", "Peggy Sue" and "Bring It On Home To Me", but, again, Lennon has seldom sounded so gleeful as he does on these numbers. Released in an age when both David Bowie and Bryan Ferry had already tracked back to musical times-gone-by, ROCK ’N’ ROLL received short shrift from contemporary critics. As time passed, however, it has grown in stature, whereas those other albums have merely held their own. Today, ROCK ’N’ ROLL sounds fresher than the rock and roll that inspired it in the first place. Imagine that.
