High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon is the third official compilation album of John Lennon`s solo career, coming after 1975`s Shaved Fish and 1982`s The John Lennon Collection. Because neither collection spanned Lennon`s releases up to and including 1984`s Milk and Honey, Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon - considered the definitive Lennon retrospective - was compiled to rectify the situation. It was released in the UK in 1997 through Parlophone and early 1998 in the US by EMI Records.
