Double fantasy Remastered 2010 edition (1980)/ John Lennon & Yoko Ono

2010-remaster met ook een verbeterd boekje met o.a. een tekst over de totstandkoming van het album. "The most distinctive thing about the last album John Lennon released during his lifetime, is the very thing that keeps it from being a graceful return to form, returning to active duty after five years of self-imposed exile. He spent those years in domestic bliss, being a husband and raising a baby. "Double Fantasy" was designed as a window into that bliss and so he decided to make it a joint album with Yoko Ono, to illustrate how complete their union was. And while Yoko's songs are relatively tuneful for her, they nevertheless disrupt the feel and flow of Lennon's material. He's surprisingly sentimental, not just when he's expressing love for his wife, but when he's coming to terms with his quiet years and his return to creative life. Yet it's hard not to think that its themes would be stronger without the Ono songs, but also because the production is just a little bit too slick." (S.T. Erlewine, Allmusic)
