Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring contributions from Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Harry Nilsson, the former Beatle's eighth solo record serves as a lighthearted, star-studded affair. Despite a fragmented recording process due to the tragic loss of John Lennon, the album yields an upbeat collection of nostalgic pop-rock tunes[cite: 1].
