Album Notes
JOHN LENNON PLASTIC ONO BAND came out at the same time as an album by Lennon's wife Yoko Ono (also titled PLASTIC ONO BAND).
Personnel: John Lennon (vocals, guitar, piano); Billy Preston, Phil Spector (piano); Klaus Voorman (bass); Ringo Starr (drums); Yoko Ono.
Producers: Phil Spector, John Lennon, Yoko Ono.
Engineers include: John Leckie, Andy Stevens, Eddie Veal.
Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London, England in 1970. Originally released on Apple (3372).
Digitally remastered by Yoko Ono & Peter Cobbin (2000, Abbey Road Studios, London, England) & Phil Nicolo (Studio 4 & Right Track Studios, New York, New York).
PLASTIC ONO BAND was as stripped-down and raw as Lennon could make it. With only bass and drums accompanying Lennon's guitar or piano, the record conveyed a tension that Lennon's vocals only enhanced. Influenced by primal scream therapy, he pushed his vocal cords to the limit on "Well Well Well" and fade-out of "Mother."
His work was startlingly personal; whether he was saying goodbye to the Beatles ("God's Song") or to his mother ("My Mummy's Dead"), his lyrics were inseperable from his life. His songs were often bitter, as he struggled to create an identity seperate from the Beatles he lashed out at a variety of targets (among them, his audience, in "Working Class Hero").

Editorial Reviews
5 Stars (out of 5) - ...every note reverberates....Lennon's singing takes on an expressive specificity that anyone in search of the century's great vocal performances would be foolish to overlook....
Rolling Stone (06/10/1999)

...an exercise in artistic expression through varying levels of mood and rage...
CMJ (05/24/1999)

Ranked #62 in Q's 100 Greatest British Albums - ...Suddenly, you can see why Lennon was dissatisfied with the Abbey Road sessions...
Q (06/01/2000)

...Exactly what was on his mind....It was, and remains, an extraordinary album. No rock singer could sound as simultaneously warm and as acerbic as Lennon...
Mojo (11/01/2000)

8 out of 10 - ...It's his starkest and best post-Beatles work....This is a lingering, slow-motion peer into the crater of the man's soul...
NME (10/21/2000)
