Instead, the Deluxe Edition release features 36 all-new mixes from the original multi-tracks of solo Lennon classics, remixed in

For this special show, The Stones called on their idol, John Lee Hooker for "Boogie Chillen," brought up their contemporary Eric Clapton

Bandcamp Bonanza: Top Picks For Indie Music Makers' Sixth Monthly Event
