The John Lennon Video Collection is a music video album compilation that was released on VHS, VCD and LaserDisc in October 1992 in the US, UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand as a collection of old and new promotional videos.[2]
The collection is significant for containing most of the original versions of Lennon's music videos, before Yoko Ono remade and re-edited them for the Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon DVD in 2003.[3]
Content
[edit]The video compilation contains 19 music videos from Lennon's solo career, 16 of which had never been commercially available.[1]
Six of the videos were specially made by Yoko Ono for this release from archival material.[1]
