JOHN LENNON  LOVE  MEDITATION MIXES TO BE RELEASED AS
LIMITED EDITION 3LP SET ON 180-GRAM PEARL ARCTIC VINYL
FOR RECORD STORE DAY 2026

AVAILABLE ON 18 APRIL – VIA UMR (UNIVERSAL MUSIC RECORDINGS)

London – 13 April 2026 – John Lennon’s classic 1970 ballad, “Love,” from his debut album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, has been radically remixed and reimagined by producer Sean Ono Lennon as a series of nine Meditation Mixes. The Love (Meditation Mixes) will be available as a limited edition 3LP set on 180-gram Pearl Arctic vinyl, housed in a triple gatefold mirrorboard sleeve, exclusively for Record Store Day on 18 April via Universal Music Recordings in the UK and UMe/Capitol in the USA/Canada. This RSD First release is limited to 4,500 copies. The remixes are currently available to experience on the consciousness-expanding phone app, Lumenate, where they exclusively debuted.

“After the surprising success of the Mind Games (Meditation Mixes), and our collaboration with Lumenate the Meditation App, we are very pleased to bring you Volume Two – a collection of ambient reimaginings of John Lennon’s classic song, to create a meditation of ‘Love,” says Sean Ono Lennon.

Love (Meditation Mixes) follows the release of nine reimagined Meditation Mixes of John Lennon’s classic 1973 peace-and-love anthem, “Mind Games” on vinyl and Lumenate, released on John’s birthday, October 9, 2024.

Love (Meditation Mixes) create their own space while maintaining firm, authentic roots in John Lennon’s original recording of the song. Each of the nine mixes has been radically altered, slowed down and extended, ranging from 5 to upwards of 23 minutes, allowing for the musical soundtrack to wash over the listener and provide a relaxing, immersive, deep listening and meditative experience. Side B on LP3 features nine unique 1.8 second mantras that play continuously in the vinyl’s run out grooves to create infinite loops.

To create Love (Meditation Mixes) various sound design techniques and processes have been applied to the original 1970 one-inch multitrack recordings, and in some cases have been enhanced with additional instrumentation from Sean Ono Lennon, son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon. They were mixed and engineered by Sam Gannon with additional recording engineered by Scott Holingsworth and mastering by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios. Production Management was by Simon Hilton.

Four of the tracks are presented as Binaural Beat versions that each focus on different types of brain waves: Beta, Delta, Gamma, and Theta. Dubbed “Real,” “You,” “Feeling,” and “Knowing,” tracks feature a Binaural Beat, an auditory illusion created within the brain when the left and right ears hear two slightly different frequencies whose difference is perceived as a new frequency which can activate different brain patterns for scientifically proven therapeutic effects. Beta waves occur when thinking, Delta waves are produced when completely relaxed in deep sleep, Gamma waves are associated with high levels of thought and focus, and Theta waves are produced while sleeping or daydreaming.
