The collection is available for digital download now on iTunes and will surface as a double CD set in early April.</p> <p>Meanwhile, Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, is playing two benefit shows in New York in the days ahead from which proceeds will go to relief efforts. She'll be joined by Sonic Youth; her son, Sean Ono Lennon; Cibo Matto; and others on Sunday at the Miller Theatre in a performance that has already sold out. Then on Tuesday, she'll have Patti Smith, Tony Shanahan, Matto and others with her at Le Poisson Rouge. Tickets are $100.</p> <p>-- Randy Lewis</p> <!-- sphereit end --> </div>
