The Complete Imagine Sessions
Vigotone fake ? VT242/247 (or VT243/8)*

some info I discovered while ripping this set:
CD's 1, 2 and 3 appear to be from the John Lennon Imagine All the Outtakes Vigotone set. VT118-119-120
(as the CD Title in EAC came up with all the info automatically. *I changed the CD Title to match the set.)

CD's 4 and 5 seem to be from Vigotone John Lennon Imagine More Session Tapes Vigotone set. VT185-186
(as the CD Title in EAC came up with all the info automatically. *I changed the CD Title to match the set.)

CD 6 seems to be from an unknown label John Lennon Imagine - The Alternative JL1
(as the CD Title in EAC came up with all the info automatically. *I changed the CD Title to match the set.)

* The back/front cover artwork shows 2 sets of numbers. VT242/7 (lowers right) AND VT243/8 (on the spine)
an error on the Bootleggers part perhaps?

So this has to be a BOOTLEG VIGOTONE set, a conglomerate of 3 sets put together.
The VT242-247 (or VT243/8) numbers do not exist in the Vigotone Catalog.

but still a great set to have everything all in one set.

artwork what I have is included.
