John Lennon on Spotify

John Lennon would have been 70 years old this past Saturday. While he’s no longer here in person his music lives on and we are excited to have his remastered solo albums available for the first time on Spotify as of today.

Classic releases such as Double Fantasy Stripped Down, Milk And Honey, Plastic Ono Band and Sometime In New York City have all be remastered and reissued in honour of his anniversary.

Enjoy.

This is great news!

 
 

Awesome! Hopefully we'll se The Beatles on Spotify soon too.

 
 

Congratulations. And Paul, it's your move now;)

 
 

Fantastic, this is great news! Nevertheless, I've noticed that the albums "Mind games", "Imagine" and "Walls and Bridges" are under the "Appears on" section. Why is that? There are other three weird albums under the main section which should not be there. Maybe there's a mistake there? Anyways, thanks for the addition!

 
 

All right boys, this is it, over the hill !!!

 
 

This is great news!! :-) Paul, will you be next?

 
 

FINALLY! I've been waiting for this anxiously since I started using Spotify! Thanks, Spotify Team!

 
 

Well, finally... I've had only one collection in digi (the whole solo production is of course on vinyls) while been waiting properly digitized and mastered versions. That box is a must - and Spotify is a great place to get accustomed to it.

 
 

Cool! And it's good to see that he's released so many albums in 2010. Can't wait until his older albums are added to Spotify :P

 
 

Oh thanks so much! Let's start to get the beatles songs?

 
 

Nice, I don't care about John Lennon but it's cool to see so many users satisfied with this update. Sadly, as it seems it's a long way to go until I'm seeing my favorite group available in spotify. :( Link: http://open.spotify.com/artist/3f5fB1YUbkUnW7cf7I0R48

 
 

I lost all my old JL vinyl at a house party years ago. Now he's on Spotify that wont happen again! http://HotRockDates.com

 
 

Yes, this is great news. I also hope The Beatles and Pink Floyd would appear here in Spotify. With 8M+ great tracks to choose from so easily I don't really bother to go back to the old collection of vinyls and CDs anymore when there is such a vast collection of other music available.

 
 

Why are the John Lennon albums no longer available on Spotify? Miss him.. :(

 
 

His albums are now no longer available, pretty annoying.

 
 

Gone... I guess you were not as "excited to have his remastered solo albums available" as you claimed.

 
 

First McCartney, now Lennon - shame on you, Spotify...

 
 

Is there someone at the Spotify company that is willing to answer to why the songs has been removed...It is really not good marketing sneaking with these kind of things...

 
 

not fair! i've been loving the Lennon albums! i understand if you have to eventually take these iconic artists away from the service, but no announcement? This is the one thing i really dislike about the service, you never know how long *your* music is going to stay on there. I know it's not Spotify's fault (well, that's what i hope!) but it would be nice to know what artists are being added/taken down etc, on a weekly/monthly basis!

 
 

This is no good news. I miss Lennon, Mccartney and Bob Dylan.

 
 

the catalogue seems to be up again now!

 
 

It was back up again until yesterday. Now it's gone! I had downloaded a Lennon playlist for offline listening on my iPhone, then had to restore the iPhone and reinstall Spotify etc, only to find that Lennon is gone from Spotify and I no longer have the offline files. Although I don't know if they would have been automatically deleted by Spotify once 30 days up? Very annoying. Think I will head over to iTunes and buy from there!

 
 

A little bit more transparency please? It is tiresome that everytime you sign something it's all a big news but whenever something disappears I (the 1200 SEK/year paying customer) have to find out the hard way. So: What happened? Apple Corp pulled the plug? Can I expect the tracks to return?
