The John Lennon Estate recently shared a music video for a newly remixed and re-imagined version of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1972 protest anthem, "Sunday Bloody Sunday."
The powerful video, decrying the cost - both human and financial - of war, political violence and gun deaths, arrives just days before the release of the expansive Power To The People (The Ultimate Collection) box set on October 10.
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" was written by Lennon and Ono on January 31, 1972, the day after the Bloody Sunday massacre in Derry, Northern Ireland, in which 13 unarmed civil rights marchers were killed by British troops.
Lennon, then recently relocated to New York, reacted immediately with a furious musical response. Just two weeks later, on February 13, 1972, the track was recorded at the Record Plant in New York with the Plastic Ono Band featuring Elephant's Memory.
The song was included on the 1972 album Some Time in New York City.
