Aftermath
In a November 1971 interview for Melody Maker, McCartney spoke positively of Imagine, considering it to be less political than Lennon's previous solo albums. (Lennon countered, in a subsequent edition of the same publication, characterising the album as " 'Working Class Hero' with sugar for conservatives".)
Like its title track, Lennon's Imagine became a posthumous hit worldwide after his death in December 1980. The album re-entered the charts during 1981, peaking at number 3 in Norway, 5 in the United Kingdom, 34 in Sweden, and 63 in the United States. In February 2000, the remastered and remixed edition reached number 11 on the Japanese chart. In October 2010, the album re-entered the Billboard Top 200 at number 88.
The Record Plant piano on which Lennon re-recorded some of the album's keyboard parts was sold at auction in 2007.
