Notes:
1. ”…Lennon recorded an early demo version of "I'm Losing You" in July 1980. This version, part of which
appeared on The Lost Lennon Tapes, was played on acoustic guitar with a drum machine, and Lennon overdubbed
additional guitar and vocal parts.
Producer Jack Douglas originally suggested that Lennon use Cheap Trick as the backing band to play on the
song. A version was recorded on 12 August 1980 with Cheap Trick's guitarist Rick Nielsen and drummer
Bun E. Carlos backing Lennon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im3AUiCGqnk They also recorded a version of
Yoko Ono's "I'm Moving On," which is a companion piece to "I'm Losing You.”…”
2. This version is based on the recently released by video by Revolver Records
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Revolver-Records-Video/599329840151333, some 35 years after is raw recorded
footage was taken at the Hit Factory, NYC, NY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hit_Factory.
3. ”The Cheap Trick version of "I'm Losing You" was included on the John Lennon Anthology collection
released in 1998.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Fantasy
4. This is how is sounds to my ear. As none of the versions out there, capture the manic guitar threshing
that is depicted by John Lennon on his limited edition futuristic Sardonyx guitar
