'Imagine'是John Lennon最成功的歌曲，這首歌道出世界上每個人對於一個不分宗教、國籍、跨越地理界線的和平世界的期待。單曲勇奪英國金榜冠軍、晉升全美熱門單曲榜第3名，與單曲同名的專輯【Imagine】蟬連英國與美國排行榜冠軍，歌曲入選滾石雜誌「史上500首最偉大歌曲」名單的第3名，同時入列搖滾名人殿堂的「500首塑造搖滾樂的歌曲」名單。時至21世紀，包括自2005年起的紐約時代廣場跨年與2012年倫敦奧運閉幕典禮等矚目盛事仍不斷響起'Imagine'，足證搖滾樂跨越世代的影響力。

John Lennon是搖滾音樂史上最具影響力的傳奇人物之一，締造全球6億張The Beatles專輯銷售，全美1400萬張個人專輯銷售，參與譜寫或演唱過25首全美熱門單曲榜冠軍曲，1982年獲頒全英音樂獎傑出貢獻獎，在1987年、1994年分別入列詞曲創作名人殿堂、搖滾名人殿堂，2010年入選滾石雜誌「史上百位最偉大歌手」名單第5名。他是一位倡議和平的政治行動者，同時也熱衷於荒謬故事與素描的創作。

1971年John Lennon發行個人第二張專輯【Imagine】，由John Lennon與妻子Yoko Ono以及合作過『John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band』專輯的製作人Phil Spector共同製作，並邀請The Beatles吉他手George Harrison、參與過前作錄製的德國貝斯手Klaus Voormann，還有在1967-1981年間擔任The Rolling Stones樂團專輯的鋼琴彈奏樂手Nicky Hopkins、自1973年起擔任前衛搖滾樂團Yes鼓手的Alan White，同時也投入George Harrison、Ringo Starr專輯錄製的鼓手Jim Keltner，搖滾樂團Badfinger吉他手Joey Molland、Tom Evans…等人加入專輯錄製行列。專輯中的代表作除了標題曲'Imagine'，還有華麗搖滾樂團Roxy Music在1981年翻唱登上英國金榜冠軍的'Jealous Guy'。

時隔47年，堪稱最完整、最終極典藏的【Imagine】專輯套裝終於問世，將帶領所有樂迷重新回味音樂文化史上最重要專輯錄音歷程，除了原始專輯之外，收錄許多John Lennon與遺孀Yoko Ono當初所發行未曾收錄在專輯過的單曲與其相異錄音版本、亦有當年在錄音室中對每首歌曲的琢磨討論的錄音、訪談等總計超越15小時的錄音，在音質上，從保有最初原始的原始錄音重新混音，到最高音質5.1聲道的藍光CD（Blu-Ray AUDIO），彷彿置身在John Lennon與Yoko Ono的Ascot錄音室中，帶聽者重回【Imagine】當時的錄音現場，更內附120頁圖文精裝書，搭配針對專輯與歌曲的錄音歷程故事的文字與當時照片，讓您邊聆聽邊從中更了解【Imagine】是如何影響音樂的歷史與文化，時隔47年後的終極版本【Imagine】，讓我們對此經典能有更全面性的了解，並感受最完整極致的聆聽體驗。
