Yoko Ono LP question

With all the thinking about John Lennon I've been doing today, I was considering checking out a Yoko Ono album or two, mainly "Plastic Ono Band" and "Fly" where John is a major contributor, musically.

I was curious if anyone here on the forum has heard the 1997 Rykodisc CDs, the only CDs of this music, I believe.

I once borrowed "Plastic Ono Band" from a friend, the 1970 American vinyl pressing. I remember it sounding warm and punchy. I would hate it if that sound was missing from the CD...

Any thoughts? Thanks as always...

 

Heh, 'nuff said, Steve...I getcha.

 

Capitol reissue sounds good, but not as punchy as that Bell Sound issue....

 

I've got the original Apple US vinyls -- great Lennon guitar on those recordings if you can pick through it. Nice production and support players on those - Jack Douglas and Roy Cicala iirc, Clapton, Ringo, Jim Keltner,Hugh McCracken, et al.

It's a shame that all of the great John guitar work will likely be overlooked. If only someone could do a karaoke remix of some of those guitar tracks without the vocals [now THAT would be "no noise" ] ... and make a compilation.
