- These remasters are now being released on vinyl for the very first time
- LENNON is the first collection of John Lennon's solo albums to be released on vinyl, and the eight LPs will be released individually in August 2015.

- Some Time In New York City includes reproductions of its original postcard and inner sleeves
- Walls and Bridges includes its sleeve with two fold-over flaps, an eight-page booklet and inner sleeve
- Mind Games, Double Fantasy and Milk and Honey also include faithful reproductions of their original inner sleeves (the latter even seems to sport a Polydor label like the original)
