John Lennon was more than one fourth of The Beatles — he was also a talented songwriter who, after going solo, crafted the 1973 album Mind Games that is still considered a classic today. Music from the album landed itself on the Billboard Hot 100 back in ’73, including the title track, which was on the chart for 13 weeks and peaked at No. 18. While there are many music books out there that promise to delve into artists’ lives, a new book is giving fans an exclusive look into the making of Mind Games through never-before-seen photography, letters and lyrics written by the late artist and wife Yoko Ono.
