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, All Music Guide
