Plastic Ono Band - Play in the Dark LP [Apple, 1970]

A1 Why A2 Why Not A3 Greenfield Morning I Pushed An Empty Baby Carriage All Over The City B1 Aos B2 Touch Me B3 Paper Shoes get it ack, yoko!? yeppers, this is the twin sister album to john's version released simultaneously baque in 70 on the apple imprint. heads owlready know. apart from the music, which is chit-tons more 'out' on this slab & features ornette on few numbers, the primary difference is the reversed positions of the artists in the cover photo. total pranksters. not much to say about these tunes cept i diggem, specially those excerpted in the clips just above. 'greenfield morning' really gets into a great trancing groove & 'why' sounds like some gal costa stylings from her 69 lp. some of ringo's best playing too eyed say. all stolen via yes great ringo grooves manipulated with a tape echo and the yoko is actually listenable. sounds like a damn fun time they had. Thanks Kirk
