Comments:

Probably the first 'Alternate' titled CD release, themed around John's 1971 album Imagine. The cover is a heavily cropped image from the poster included with the commercial album.

This title was later released by Sidewalk as FAKE Apple album SW-A-3379 LP with the same cover in 1990 and a more complete collection appeared from Vigotone on their title Imagine The Sessions . This title was eclipsed in 1994 but another Vigotone title Imagine ... All The Outtakes

Imagine is sourced from vinyl, probably Lost Lennon Tapes Vol.14 and the remaining tracks probably from the Westwood One Lost Lennon Radio series. I have seen a couple of what I assume are earlier pressings where the title has been mistyped on the disc art as 'IMAGNE' .

The bootleg label Images issued two variations in the mid 1990's (?), simply titled Imagine as a 'metal' digipak and jewel case .

The Bootleg Zone identifies a version with the same cover but with only eight tracks and a slightly amended catalogue number SM89009. If you have a copy could you please provide some more details.
