I actually enjoy listening to this album along with Unfinished Music 2 and the Wedding Album. They're snapshots of their relationship and their creativity, not caring what other people think. That's true creativity
Haven't listened to it in awhile, but always enjoyed it. Remember, it's "unfinished music". The listener is supposed to add to it.... participate in it... I remember it being.... elevating. But isn't that what The Beatles always did? "Hey guys, come join us! The view is great from up here." :)
Very good video Chlozycat! You always pick interesting topics and albums. I don't think anyone would say they love this album but it's possible, I guess. I think it's the one where he whistles in it which is my favorite thing about the album. I have listened to it twice all the way through. I never lived in England but the album sort of transports a person into John's home around that time period. Also, when I was a kid, we had a few record stores in town, and I remember it being in the window of the shop in a brown paper cover. John is such an interesting guy and had a lot of guts! Thanks again for the review. You are my favorite! Russ
Its just an LP of Revolution #9 Me and a buddy gave it a listen just to say we did it even my die hard Beatle people could not tolerate it more the 5 mins it helps if you don't take it serious and listen to what sounds pop up in this album.
Please! Never apologise for not liking this album. Some people were disappointed when Let it Be came out, an album which I absolutely love, but when I bought this album, and it pains me to call it an album, to say I was disappointed is an understatement as I felt cheated, and still do, that I actually paid money for this. If John Lennon had put this out as a free album or even whatever it cost to produce that’s okay but for him and Yoko to make royalties on it, obviously not that much, is daylight robbery. I still have this vinyl album that I bought in the late 70s and often think of selling it to get my money back but as an avid Beatle fan it’s part of my collection and I still have the memory of how excited I was when I first bought the album until I got home and then I played it?????
Hello from Canada 😀. You must be a huge Beatles fan to own this on two different formats. I've been a massive Beatles nut for over 60 years and have only heard, like George, bits and pieces of Two Virgins, which is enough for me. I do own the Wedding Album box set, however. Can't recall why I purchased it, but it is a collectors item I suppose. // New Beatles doc announced today. Beatles '64 on Disney + Nov 29. Hopefully some new footage included. Already own "The First US Visit" and the Sullivan shows on DVD.
@@denpea-mm8zr 😆 I was reluctant to buy the album on vinyl as I knew I’d probably not play it, but I wanted it for my collection. I am very excited to watch the doc on Disney. I can’t wait 😁
I agree with everything you had said. I am a first generation fan and have the original US copy and the original unfinished music no. 2 and Wedding album. They were only played once and left to collect with all my other collection of albums.
I’m one of the weird ppl who actually likes the song Revolution 9. I imagined Two Virgins would be similar. But I was disappointed. It’s much less interesting. I only made it through listening to it one time.
Life With The Lions and The Wedding Album are also pretty bad. They did a much better job on Revolution 9 which, though not very popular either, is actually a very powerful track.
Life With Lions side 1 is great and overall the albumv is easily the best of the trio. I always though Revolution 9 was as much McCartney's baby as it was Lennon's.
😊Hi✨✨✨As different as it is, I really enjoy this album✨Keyboardist Bobby Whitlock from Derek and the, Dominoes, has a great story of how he had to rent the room or somethingt, the room they used to photograph the album cover that day. Booby Whitlock's RUclips page has lots of stories you may like of behind the scenes✨Have a great day snd enjoy your RUclips site. And thank you for your research ✨🌝
I have a US Zapple label release. I found it in a thrift shop back in the 70's. For awhile, the album became a collector's piece fetching lots of money. I has been pirated many times over. As for the content, WHY? It only took John's genius a few steps down.
Not his best album. This one, the wedding album, life with the lions are just awful ! How he charged money for those “songs “, is beyond a rip off, imo. A very unproductive period for John. Plastic Ono Band album was a vast improvement.
I bought it when it came out. I was expecting some ass-kicking rock and roll from Lennon. Imagine my shock when I discovered I had blown my minimum wage paycheck on this piece of poop. If that wasn't bad enough, they both had to thrust their bare butts in my face. Shit, why couldn't it have been Paul and Linda? How the hell could a good-looking man like John Lennon become that hideous in just 18 months? And his mirror-shattering appearance only got worse over the next 2 years. Alas, this is a historical testament that it is unlikely that anyone could reach his level of fame and adoration without going completely insane.
An original copy would be nice to have as an historical artefact all these years later. But musically it's absolute junk with no merit whatsoever. It disproved the theory going around at the time that if you put Lennon or McCartney on a record it would sell. 😀

Well done for making it through the entire album! It is truly horrific.
@@StigOHarrison 😂
Hey Stig, try listening to George Harrison's Electronic Music album! LOL. I did it once all the way through.
@@rhlennon5869 Electronic Sound by George Harrison is much easier to listen to. Two Virgins is pretentious garbage
I enjoy it when I’m in the right mood.
Two very daring and bold originals!!..may their spirit live forever..

I’d love to hear the actual mono UK pressing. And I wonder who took the time to re-channel this for the stereo issue.
There’s a playfulness to the recording which I enjoy. I’ve listened to it a couple times a year since it was released.
Well done Video Well done Thank You
@@mikecoffee100 Thank you!

"Vocal improvisations from Yoko"...
Very diplomatic.
Well what else are they then? Random emissions of vaginal flatulence? Strange comment...
2:10 I wonder if that would work for viewing an eclipse.

I actually had this on 8 track cartridge.
That's one you buy, don't open, and stick on the shelf to never touch again. If anyone asks (they won't) you just nod and say you got it.
I have the Original first edition
Also I have the Wedding album in box Vinyl and cassette versions

@@howcotube That’s amazing, what a great collection!
@@chlozycat6506 Well I have had a lot of years to purchase things and the love of the Beatles is so great and it will never wane.
I get the impression it's like listening to a whole albums worth of Revolution #9.
Revolution #9 is quite good, especially by comparison.
I never had "Two Virgins"....Peace and Love, Terry and Julia Tutor
Played one time . Sold
I never heard this or those other albums but after reading about them I don't care to.

@@FloweredUp-n4t I don't think Paul had much to do with Revolution 9. George helped out with it. Mainly it was John & Yoko's thing.
Although I have a John Lennon tattoo on my arm, I have never listened to this LP. Too many people have advised me against it.

A few years ago i bought the cd the sleeve fell apart i've onlly played it twice. It's a piece of history so i had to have it. I won't be buying Lions
Number 9...
It was released a week before the White Album…yikes.
No 2 is better. It mercifully gives you 2 minutes of silence.
Vol.2 is indeed better because it's a lot musically more interesting.
That said this album is more listenable of the two and I find it kind of funny.
I bought it when it came out. I was expecting some ass-kicking rock and roll from Lennon. Imagine my shock when I discovered I had blown my minimum wage paycheck on this piece of poop. If that wasn't bad enough, they both had to thrust their bare butts in my face. Shit, why couldn't it have been Paul and Linda?

Not exactly a toe-tapper!
...and it's not even that long. Prob 30 minutes tops...
An original copy would be nice to have as an historical artefact all these years later. But musically it's absolute junk with no merit whatsoever. It disproved the theory going around at the time that if you put Lennon or McCartney on a record it would sell. 😀
It could hardly be worse than Harrison's "Electronic Sound". What a stinker!
Pretty much all George Harrison solo albums are stinkers or at best boring.
