John Lennon : Imagine : John Lennon (Soundtrack)

YOU MAY SAY

I'M A DREAMER

BUT I'M NOT

THE ONLY ONE

I HOPE SOMEDAY

YOU'LL JOIN US

AND THE WORLD 

WILL BE AS ONE

 Imagine: John Lennon 

is a soundtrack album 

of popular music 

compiled

 for the 

1988 documentary film

 Imagine: John Lennon

from songs written or 

co-written by

 John Lennon. 

Originally released

 that year as a double album,

 it now remains available

 on one CD.

Bridging his two

 musical phases together,

 as a member of

 the Beatles 

and a solo artist

 similar to

 George Harrison's earlier 

The Best of George Harrison

Imagine: John Lennon

 is a 

career-spanning collection

 of Lennon's many 

musical highlights.

 In addition

 there are a couple

 of heretofore 

unreleased recordings: 

an acoustic demo of

 "Real Love"

 taped in 1979

 an alternative recording 

of which would be finished

 by the Beatles

 for 1996's Anthology 2

 and a rehearsal take of 

"Imagine"

 in mid-1971

 before the final take

 was captured. 

It also features

 for the first time a

 clean-intro version of 

"A Day in the Life", 

that would appear later

 on the CD release 

of the Beatles' 

1967–1970 compilation.

Imagine: John Lennon, 

with its wealth of stock 

Lennon footage

 and self-narration, 

proved to be a 

well-received film 

and its soundtrack

 sold well in

 the United States,

 reaching No. 31 

and going gold. 

In the United Kingdom, 

the album peaked

 at No. 64.
