Here is my restored & remastered version of John Lennons home recording demo of "Solitude" (or "Stranger's Room") which evolved to "I'm losing you" a bit later.
Demo recorded probably somewhere around 1979-1980, but no one really knows.
I hope I did it right, it was my first attempt to remaster a demo tape.
What I did: corrected the pitch to my liking, added Echo & Chorus, removed noise/hiss/clicks (not all though), doubletracked the whole thing and tried to bring the vocals more forward, with the echo hopefully adding to the intensity of John's soulful singing.

Comments, rating, critique and suggestions are very much appreciated.
Enjoy!
This is also part of "UltiMATEly",
a compilation of most of the Lennon demo's I worked on, put together on a hypothetical album 'Ultimately' (with complete Album art, wee!)
