This is a musical album in name only. John Lennon and Yoko Ono made several experimental recordings during this period, all of which are difficult to listen to. This one consists of 26 minutes of Ono shrieking at a 1969 concert, the heartbeat of their unborn child, two minutes of silence (literally), and a radio dial being dialed across a number of stations. Other than a collector's item or for Beatles and post-Beatles completists, it's of little to no interest. Listening to it once was excruciating. I can't imagine listening to it again.

What's not to like, no, love about anything that John Lennon has released. This was one of the major turning points in John's life, that helped make him an even more of a complete musician. This ablum has high and low pointas, with the personal tragity of losing their first child together to a miscarriage. This was the first album that John & Yoko released together, and it was obvious how Yoko was beginging to influence John's music, even if it was a very raw release, musically that is, it is a window into John's soul, that showed just how much he was in love with Yoko, and how she was his world now, and not the Beatles anymore. Just that reason alone, makes this album a must have, for any real fan of John Lennon. But, I have to warn you, it's Not Beatle music, so if that's want you want, don't buy this, but if you love John & Yoko, pick this rare baby up.Read full review
This album is more Yoko then John. Don't buy it expecting to hear more Beatle-like ear candy. Lots of primal screaming and general weirdness, which I happen to like. This is about pushing the boundaries of music and exploring different ideas about sound. Yoko is definitely the forerunner to the noise music scene in Japan twenty years later.
Once again the two artises of the 20th century combine to enlighten our perceptions once more with their fantastically nuanced perfection. A wonderfully rich and complex blend of music and ineffability.
