John Lennon RSD remix

John Lennon’s “Love” is getting a new life on Record Store Day 2026 as a three-LP set of ambient “Meditation Mixes” produced by Sean Ono Lennon. (johnlennon.com) The release is scheduled for April 18, 2026, under Universal Music Recordings and Calderstone, and Record Store Day lists it as an “RSD First” title with 4,500 copies. (recordstoreday.com) Record Store Day says the package includes nine reimagined versions of “Love” on iridescent Pearl Arctic 180-gram transparent vinyl in a triple-gatefold lilac mirrorboard sleeve. Side B of the third LP carries nine 1.8-second mantras cut into runout grooves so they loop continuously. (recordstoreday.com) The project reworks a John Lennon song from the 1970 album *John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band*, using the original one-inch multitrack recordings and added instrumentation by Sean Ono Lennon. Sam Gannon mixed and engineered the set, and Alex Wharton mastered it at Abbey Road Studios. (johnlennon.com) The nine mixes are longer and slower than the original, running from five minutes to more than 23 minutes. Four tracks use binaural beats, which Record Store Day describes as slightly different frequencies sent to each ear so the brain perceives a third tone. (recordstoreday.com) Sean Ono Lennon said the new set follows the “surprising success” of the *Mind Games Meditation Mixes*, which arrived on vinyl and in the Lumenate app on John Lennon’s birthday, October 9, 2025. Record Store Day calls the new release “Volume Two.” (recordstoreday.com) The track names point to the format’s meditative framing: “Real,” “You,” “Feeling,” and “Knowing” are the binaural versions tied to beta, delta, gamma, and theta brain-wave categories in the official description. (johnlennon.com) For collectors, the details are the pitch as much as the music: a limited pressing, a three-disc package, specialty packaging, and a Record Store Day street date that sends buyers to independent shops first. (recordstoreday.com) The result is less a standard reissue than a vinyl art object built from one of Lennon’s best-known songs, with April 18 set as the first day fans can try to find a copy in stores.
