Inside the magazine, readers can expect the story of Lennon’s radicalisation in New York’s West Village (1971-73) and the extraordinary music that emerged from that era.

Each issue comes with a Power To The People MOJO sampler CD, which includes versions of Come Together, Instant Karma! (We All Shine On), Cold Turkey, Well Well Well, and more previously unreleased Lennon recordings.

The new issue, on sale Tuesday 14 October, also features an exclusive interview, MOJO’s first in well over a decade, with Bruce Springsteen.

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.”

Elsewhere, MOJO delivers deep features on music icons Jimi Hendrix and Prince, and the new Beatles Anthology is reviewed in depth.

The issue also includes: Lucinda Williams, 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.
