Imagine is John Lennon's second studio album, which was released on September 9, 1971, by Apple Records.
From early to mid-1971, Lennon recorded the album at Ascot Sound Studios, Abbey Road Studios, and the Record Plant in New York City. Its lyrics reflect peace, love, politics, and Lennon's experience with primal scream therapy.
Imagine was a critical and economic triumph, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart and the Billboard 200 in the United States. It is regarded as one of John Lennon's best solo albums, alongside John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.
