John Lennon & Yoko Ono
Wedding Album
Limited white vinyl LP pressing.
Digitally remastered edition.
Originally released in 1969, John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s Wedding Album was the couple’sthird experimental, album-length record, and one of the most remarkable of the duo’s testamentsto an intense romantic and artistic partnership that would last fourteen years, until Lennon’s tragicpassing in 1980. On March 20, 1969, John and Yoko were married in a civil service in Gibraltar.To celebrate the event, in lieu of a conventional honeymoon, the newlyweds spent a week in bedat the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam, inviting members of the press into their room for interviews and photosessions, and using their fame and the publicity generated by their “Bed-in” to call attention to their campaignfor world peace. With Wedding Album, John and Yoko created an enduring snapshot of a vibrant pop-culturalmoment, with the hostilities of the Vietnam War as it’s bracing backdrop. It captures the humor, earnestness,and spontaneity that marked the early years of the “Ballad of John and Yoko” era. Wedding Album’sinnovative, original packaging, created by graphic designer John Kosh, included a box filled withsouvenirs of John and Yoko’s nuptials: photographs, a copy of the couple’s marriage certificate, bothLennon’s and Ono’s drawings, a picture of a slice of wedding cake, and more. Now, with a faithfulrecreation of Wedding Album in limited-edition, white-vinyl LP,Secretly Canadian and Chimera Music are making one of the most unusual and emblematicrecordings of the Sixties available again – fifty years after John and Yoko were married – to mark thegolden wedding anniversary of two of the 20th century’s most emblematic cultural figures. Includes digital download.
