"John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band" by John Lennon – ****

First released: 1970

John and Yoko released similar looking but not similar sounding albums in tandem. Whereas John’s featured some of his strongest singing, Yoko’s featured some of her strongest shrieking! This classic album should have gone to number one, but probably missed the top due to the record-buying public being a little gunshy about Lennon’s product and the fact that he released Mother (not one of the most commercial tracks) as a single. The album was released intact on CD and in 2000 was reissued, remixed and remastered with "Power to the People" and "Do the Oz" released as bonus tracks. The original album was also released in its entirety on 1990’s "Lennon".
