John Lennon's fourth solo album release, and first live recording, made 13th September 1969 and credited to The Plastic Ono Band.
John and Yoko were invited to appear at the Toronto "Rock 'n' Roll Revival Concert", so at very short notice, they got together a band and flew out to Toronto on 12th September 1969. With the appearance due the following day, the first chance for rehearsal was at the rear of a Boeing 707 - a free Lennon gig for anyone on the flight!!!
John's entourage included, Eric Clapton, Alan White, Klaus Voorman with a number of assistants.
The concert was in front of a crowd of 25,000 at the Varsity Stadium, and also included such rock 'n' roll luminaries as, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent and Bo Diddley.
John starts off by explaining to the audience that they are only going to play songs they know, as they haven't been together long, and they kick off with some classic rock 'n' roll. After "Yer Blues", Yoko introduces "Cold Turkey" as a new song, and it was then performed live for the very first time. It was recorded as a single a couple of weeks later. For the intro to "Give Peace A Chance" John warns the crowd that he can remember the chorus but not all the bits in-between !
Side two starts with "Don't Worry Kyoko", also being performed live for the first time.
The final track "John John", first appeared on the "The Wedding Album". On this version, Yoko does her thing over the sounds of feedback generated by the guitars of John, Eric and Klaus who eventually leave their guitars leaning against the speakers, therefore leaving the feedback sounds. They move to the centre of the stage, light up a cigarette then walk off. Mal Evans walks on, and one by one turns off the amplifiers.
The album sleeve was designed by John Kosh. On the sleeve is this single sleeve note: "Being born in Scotland carries with it certain responsibilities"
Side 1: BLUE SUEDE SHOES / MONEY / DIZZY MISS LIZZY / YER BLUES / COLD TURKEY / GIVE PEACE A CHANCE
Side 2: DON'T WORRY KYOKO (mummy's only looking for her hand in the snow) / JOHN, JOHN (let's hope for peace)
LABELS: MINT-
Clean, unmarked, factory-fresh labels with only one light spindle trace per side
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Clean vinyl surfaces which have lost none of there original deep glossy sheen.
Unmarked in normal light and displaying just a few wispy light hairlines under bright light
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Possibly only once played, my play-check at loud volume revealed no major audio issues of note - no scratches, no loud clicks or pops, no surface noise and no groove-wear or distortion.
To be very picky there are a couple of soft background 'ticks' at the beginning of "Cold Turkey" but these are impossibly minor and non-intrusive otherwise, flawless playback with an exceptionally clean sound performance - the quiet passages, run-ins and track divisions are all silent
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
The fully laminated single sleeve is unmarked with a deep, deep glossy sheen.
The edges and spine are crisp, sharp and square and all text on the (very thin) spine is clear and bold.
A very shallow score mark on the front and a little record impression front and back are the only things preventing a higher grading - lovely example of this very thin and flimsy sleeve
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
