Lennon Uncut
Reported by heyrevolver
UK music magazine Uncut has compiled a 19-track John Lennon tribute CD for inclusion in their November issue. The compilation features covers (some previously unreleased) of Lennon songs and Lennon-penned Beatles songs by the likes of The Breeders, Mercury Rev, Ash and Kristin Hersh, amongst others (don't even pretend like you don't know where to click for the full tracklist). Oh yeah, when you do go out looking for this magazine, make sure you ask for "UK music magazine" Uncut because otherwise you might end up with something, uh, entirely different.
