We’re on a bit of a John Lennon binge here at In Sound HQ.

So here’s a special ditty we dug up from the archives… The unique vocal stylings of our main man Luke Steele (The Sleepy Jackson, Empire of the Sun) and his version of John Lennon’s (Just Like) Starting Over.

(Just Like) Starting Over was Lennon’s first single from his final album and 1980’s Grammy Album of the Year, Double Fantasy. It eventually becoming his biggest US solo single, staying at #1 for 5 weeks.

In celebration of his 70th birthday on October 9 this year, Double Fantasy is being re-presented in a newly remixed stripped down version remixed and produced by Yoko Ono and Jack Douglas, co-producers of the original mix with John Lennon. As Lennon’s 70th approaches, we’ll be seeing a whole festival of commemorative events and releases around the world. Stay tuned.
