Before John Lennon retreated peacefully into private life in 1975, he fought a major legal battle that went under the public radar. Just as his rock 'n' roll oldies album hit the market, Morris Levy, the Mob-connected owner of Roulette Records, released Roots, an unauthorized version of the same record.
