Brand Extension
Picked this up on cd yesterday. Yoko is now officially scraping the bottom of the barrel with all the remasters and compliations that have been released in the thirty years since John's death. This one though, a Stripped Down version of Double Fantasy, is worth seeking out. Lennon's voice is brought up way up in the mix and a lot of the extraneous noise (choirs, for example) has been taken out. This works well on a few of the songs with a major difference on Woman and turns the rest of side two into a naked mess. I like Starting Over most and Yoko's Give Me Something works with this raw polishing.
You also get a remastered version of the original included. A decent twofer.

I could be wrong, but I think there's at least two tracks that were included in earlier CDs but missing from the new batch - "Move Over, Mrs. L" and "Do the Oz." Why not include them again? Beats me.
The new CDs will not have any bonus tracks on them. When the old ones are sold out, that's it for them - until the next compilation I guess.
