"Roots" by John Lennon – ***

First released: 1975

A mail order only Lennon album that was pitched on TV during 1975 prompting the release of "Rock ‘n’ Roll". Apparently a quasi-legal mix-up allowed this release until Lennon quashed it. It contains two tracks not on the regular release ("Angel Baby" and "Be My Baby"). "Angel Baby" finally was added to the line-up in 2004; Be My Baby" is still missing from the collection, but was officially released on "The John Lennon Anthology" box set.
