I’m Losing You by John Lennon – ***

First released: 1980

I wasn’t terribly fond of this track when I first heard it. I didn’t like Lennon’s guttural growl at the beginning and I didn’t like the guitar lick. I like it now, but it’s still not my favorite Lennon track. It’s from John and Yoko’s "Double Fantasy" and it’s also on "The John Lennon Collection" from 1982 and 1990’s "Lennon". There’s an original version with Cheap Trick backing that wasn’t released until "The John Lennon Anthology" and "Wonsaponatime" in 1998. That version was also included on "Working Class Hero" from 2005 and 2006’s "Remember". There’s also another demo version released with the title "Stranger’s Room" on 1998’s "The John Lennon Anthology".
