Elephant's Memory is one of the few LP's that has not yet been officially released on CD. So far I haven't found a revised vinyl rip either.
So I ripped and reworked the original LP (CD 1).

Lennon had a habit of producing his work with a very narrow stereo angle, I have tried to change this (CD 2).
While I don't think an official re-release would sound like this, it was worth a try (I think).

Maybe someone will enjoy it!

It's a valuable piece of the Lennon puzzle, so thank you for sharing your take on it!

Thanks, I think. I don't think I've ever actually listened to this album before until just now. Khundalini, you've lavished more care on this than the material deserves. Thank you.

But, well, um, this may be a "valuable piece of the Lennon puzzle," it's a truly heinous listen. Surely there must be an odd soul somewhere who enjoys this album, but I can totally appreciate now why it's never been reissued on cd. lol.

Nice idea and effort to colourize the cover artwork! Slightly wrong font however ;-)
