Inside the six-disc ultimate edition of 1973's Mind Games
“ Mind Games , to me, was like an interim record between being a manic political lunatic to back to being a musician again,” John Lennon told Crawdaddy magazine in March 1974 about his fourth solo album. “I was really playing mind games — mind games is what it was. I had had enough of this trying to be deep and thought, ‘Why can’t I have some fun?’ And my idea of fun was music to sing.
” Revisiting the record over 50 years later in the forensic detail provided by this new deluxe edition, an aural trip into the nuts and bolts of Mind Games reveals a grossly misunderstood work of art whose songs offer fans the opportunity to hear Lennon recalibrate his emotions with the assistance of an ace studio ensemble.
