Instant Karma: All-Time Greatest Hits, a three-disc compilation album of music recorded by John Lennon, is a budget release targeted for sale at warehouse-type stores such as Sam's Club and Costco. The album was released in 2002 by Timeless/Traditions Alive Music under license from Capitol/EMI Special Projects. Disc one, subtitled The Hits, contained eleven songs that were previously released on singles. Disc two, subtitled Sings Classic Rock 'N' Roll, contained ten cover songs recorded during Lennon's Rock 'n' Roll sessions as well as "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Dizzy, Miss Lizzy," which were recorded live in Toronto in 1969. Disc three, subtitled The Classics Live, contained twelve songs recorded live in New York City either in August 1972 with Elephant's Memory at Madison Square Garden or, in the case of "Well (Baby Please Don't Go)," with Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention at the Fillmore East in June 1971. All thirty-five songs on the album had been previously released.
