Power to the People is a box set by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Released on 10 October 2025, the deluxe version contains 9 CDs, 3 Blu-rays and a 204-page book.

Contents

The set is notable for the exclusion of "Woman Is the Nigger of the World" from both One to One concert performances (where it was performed after "Move on Fast"), and from the various mixes of the Some Time in New York City album, upon which it was formerly the opening track; the move was criticised for being "omissive" in some reviews.
