Legendary songwriter and performer John Lennon spent
his last summer on the island of Bermuda as inspiration for his
final two albums, "Double Fantasy" and "Milk and Honey." Some of
Lennon's most beloved songs - and some enlightening new insights
into his life and final months - are presented in the Music CD and
Book release of "Lennon Bermuda." The two-CD music collection and
120-page book (and eBook edition) will be released in the United
States and Canada by Hannover House (OTC: HHSE) on September 24,
2013, under an exclusive license with FB Media,
Ltd.
The Lennon Bermuda products covered under the
Hannover House distribution venture include a 2-CD collection (34
tracks), a single CD collection (22-tracks), a 120-page book (and
eBook), and a specially packaged collector's edition set. All of
these items will be released to major retailers, book stores,
specialty outlets, wholesale clubs and internet sellers beginning
September 24, 2013.
"John Lennon is a legendary songwriter and
pop-culture icon," said Eric Parkinson, C.E.O. of Hannover House.
"His name, image and music are world renowned, and we feel that
these Lennon Bermuda products have tremendous commercial appeal as
we move into the fourth-quarter holiday season. The single-CD item
is attractive for mainstream music retailers such as Wal-Mart, the
stand-alone book should perform well with chains such as Barnes
& Noble, and the collectors set could be a great gift item for
wholesale clubs such as Costco and SAMS. Overall, we think this is
a very exciting and commercial product line."
Additional content information, packaging graphics
and product details will be released in the coming weeks as the
consumer publicity, advertising and general marketing campaigns for
the Lennon Bermuda items are launched. The following four products
will be released by Hannover House under the distribution agreement

John Winston Ono Lennon,
MBE(born October 9, 1940 ? December 8, 1980) was an English
musician, singer and songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as a
founder member of the Beatles, one of the most commercially
successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular
music. With fellow Beatles member Paul McCartney, he formed a
songwriting partnership that resulted in U.S.A. record sales of
more than 177-million units (as certified by the Recording Industry
Association of America).
Born and raised in Liverpool, Lennon's early music activities
eventually evolved into the Beatles in 1960. After a meteoric
decade, the Beatles began to disband and Lennon embarked on a
successful solo career. Lennon solo albums include John
Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic songs
such as "Give Peace A Chance", "Imagine", "Woman" and "Watching The
Wheels". After taking five years away from the spotlight to raise
his infant son Seanwith wife Yoko Ono, Lennon returned in 1980 with
an acclaimed new album Double Fantasy. Just three weeks
after this album's release, Lennon was murdered in New York City in
an infamous and tragic shooting.
Lennon's solo album sales in the United States exceed 14 million
units, and as writer, co-writer or performer, he is responsible for
25 number-one singles on the US Hot 100 chart. He was posthumously
inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Famein 1987 and into the Rock
and roll Hall of Famein 1994.
