    John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band album coverWith confrontation of various demons, a demolition of The Beatles' legend, and at times a painfully honest account of a troubled man struggling to deal with a reality he couldn't change, John Lennon's first solo album saw him strip away layers of defence and artifice, leaving his most raw, direct and heartfelt collection of songs.
