Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band (CD) by Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band

CD. Recorded concurrently with John Lennon s Plastic Ono Band album Yoko s features the same musicians namely John Ringo Starr and Klaus Voormann along with the Ornette Coleman Quartet on one cut. Unlike John s record however Yoko s is much more a jam -sounding record. And while there are definite songs lyrics are mainly vocal improvisations. Still if avant-garde is your cup of tea then check this one out. It s good if only to hear John Lennon really get the guitar cranking on the opening cut Why. The 1997 CD reissue adds three bonus cuts: a previously unreleased version of Open Your Box (which would be used as the flip side to John Lennon s Power to the People single) the previously unreleased 16-minute improv piece The South Wind and a previously unreleased 44-second snippet of Something More Abstract. ~ James Chrispell Rovi
