Bauer Media’s MOJO, the UK’s biggest-selling music magazine, is celebrating John Lennon on what would have been his 85th birthday, with an exclusive cover-mounted CD featuring previously unreleased tracks from the new John Lennon and Yoko Ono box set – a must-have for collectors and Lennon fans alike.

Power To The People is a MOJO sampler CD including standout versions of Come Together, Instant Karma! (We All Shine On), Cold Turkey, Well Well Well, and more previously unreleased Lennon recordings.  Inside the magazine, readers can also discover the untold story of Lennon’s radicalisation in New York’s West Village (1971–73) and the extraordinary music that emerged from that era.

The new issue, on sale Tuesday 14 October, also features an exclusive interview – MOJO’s first in well over a decade – with Bruce Springsteen, covering the new Nebraska box set, and much more.

Elsewhere, MOJO delivers deep features on music icons Jimi Hendrix and Prince: Hendrix trips out on Axis: Bold As Love, while Prince rewrites the rulebook with Around The World In A Day. Lucinda Williams takes centre stage in The MOJO Interview, and the new Beatles Anthology is reviewed in depth.

The issue also includes: Patti Smith, Miles Davis, Eagles, Brigitte Fontaine, Wreckless Eric, Fine Young Cannibals, The Replacements, The Congos, Danny Thompson,  Viv Prince and Supertramp’s late Rick Davies,

John Mulvey, MOJO’s Editor, commented: “I know all too well that editors make bold claims for their magazines most months, but honestly, this new MOJO really is one to make a bit of a fuss about. Besides the CD of unheard Lennon music, I’m especially proud of how we’ve got such a variety of marquee names, new artists and cult heroes in the issue, so that an exclusive interview with Bruce Springsteen can sit next to something like the amazing story of French radical Brigitte Fontaine. It’s the sort of mix we try and pull off every month, but it’s come together especially well this time.”

The December issue of MOJO is available on newsstands from Tuesday 14 October, and in print and digital formats from www.Greatmagazines.co.uk.
