1970 FIRST "APPLE" PRINTING
John Lennon & Yoko Ono
WEDDING ALBUM
\ USA - APPLE RECORDS - SMAX 3361
RARE 1970 original US "APPLE RECORDS" first printing in thick gatefold sleeve of the legendary John Lennon "Freak-out" Wedding Album ...
The first track, "John & Yoko" consists of John and Yoko yelling each others' name over trippy looping sound effects. The sound intensifies and speeds up in places, as do their voices, as if to suggest the two are far from each other and calling out to one another. Towards the end of the track, Yoko appears to have found John, as her voices becomes relieved and satisfied. What sounds like kissing noises can be heard at this point as well. She seems to lose him again as the song ends, and they call out to each other a few more times. It's highly interesting. While some may have a preference for Lennon's catchier works,others have found this music to accomplish the same thing. The emotions of the song are crystal clear, even though they aren't expressly stated to us. It's a catalog of sounds, artfully constructed to produce highly emotional music. The second track "Amsterdam" consists of Yoko singing about peace in an opera style voice. She does a very bad job of it, and probably intentionally so. Her voice is shrill, off-pitch, and non-harmonic. This track is less emotionally charged than the first, yet still interesting, simply because it's unconventionally done. John's voice concludes the song, speaking over ambient sounds; he encourages people to get involved in protesting for peace, and doing so in a peaceful way. His speech is more powerful than Yoko's singing, which dominates the next song. She sings over an acoustic guitar in a child-like voice. It's actually somewhat catchy in parts, like a reward for listening to the first two tracks. The flute passages are pleasant as well. The fourth track is very similar to the first, except for the inclusion of electric guitar flourishes. The final track, "Don't Worry, Kyoko..." is interesting as well. Yoko sings over acoustic guitar strumming, as well as some other strings possibly being in there. It's a more subdued song than its predecessors, but the focal points, her voice and the guitar, fail to stand out, leaving a mess of acoustic sounds and her hooting vocals. Anyone with any interest in The Beatles, John Lennon and avant garde psych should give this a listen, it's a powerful, if a rather difficult one. Just don't expect Abbey Road.
