==Background==
After the release of his album of [[oldies]] [[cover version]]s, [[Rock 'n' Roll (John Lennon album)|''Rock 'n' Roll'']] (1975), Lennon was planning to work on an album of new material. However, when his wife [[Yoko Ono]] became pregnant, he decided to reissue songs from his solo career.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Blaney|first=John|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZuCZR7MiDA0C|title=John Lennon: Listen to This Book|date=2005|publisher=John Blaney|isbn=978-0-9544528-1-0|pages=173|language=en}}</ref>

{{quote|What I found out was, when I went to look for the "[[Cold Turkey]]" master tapes, nobody knew where they were. I had to use dubs of "[[Power to the People (song)|Power to the People]]" because the tapes were gone, nobody could give a damn at the record companies because they weren't... you know, that big. Big enough for them to be interested... I thought if I don't put this package together, some of the work is just going to go... they will be lost forever.|John Lennon<ref>{{Cite book|last=Peebles|first=Andy|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/9158501|title=The Last Lennon Tapes: John Lennon and Yoko Ono Talk to Andy Peebles December 6, 1980.|date=1983|publisher=Dell Publishing|isbn=0-440-04903-2|location=New York|oclc=9158501}}</ref>}}
