Recorded over one night on 19 May 1968 and released in the UK on 29 November 1968 (11 November 1968 in the US) this album is made up of tape loops of various sound effects and instruments plus snippets of conversation between John and Yoko.


The big talking point, of course, was the cover, the pictures for which John took himself with a time delay camera. Because of the nature of the cover the only way it got to be distributed was by being placed in a brown paper bag and, even then, there were problems with printers refusing to print it, record shops refusing to stock it and the press refusing to accept adverts for it.


The nature of the album and the furore surrounding the cover lead to it not charting in the UK with only 5000 copies being pressed
