The John Lennon Signature Box is an 11-disc boxed set of remastered John Lennon albums and new collections, released on CD and digital format, as part of the "Gimme Some Truth" collection. The albums released in the boxed set are digital remasters of the original recordings and mixes, done by John's widow Yoko Ono and the same team of engineers at Abbey Road Studios who worked on the 2009 remasters by The Beatles, in London and Avatar Studios, New York.[7] The set also includes home demos and non-album singles.[8] The boxed set was released on vinyl in June 2015 by Universal Music Catalogue without the two additional discs.
