  Seven Songs for the Week #139 - 3rd Dec 25

  Jason Carty

  Black Friday allowed me to pick up two Yoko Ono Strictly Canadian vinyl reissues which are exemplary. I already own Approximately Infinite Universe and Feeling the Space, so I got Plastic Ono Band and Fly. POB I know well, Fly, not so much. Greenfield Morning... is possibly my favourite Yoko track. She has a number of songs/pieces that reflect upon miscarriage, Life With The Lions is very upsetting. Musically, this is extraordinary drumming from Ringo (Plus John on guitar, Klaus Voorman on bass, and a tape loop of George Harrison, apparently). Ringo lays down a hypnotic rhythm that pre-dates Krautrock, and overall this is very futuristic music for 1970. Maybe John & Yoko should've headed to Berlin or Hamburg, instead of New York.
