John & Yoko 'Wedding Album' 50th Anniversary reissue edition coming in March 2019

Hey guys. Just heard about this on Facebook! Think I'll buy it.



(Dear Gorts, if a thread about this exist already please merge it. Couldn't find one in the search options.)

 

I actually really love the cover art and whole package design of this, right down to font used and the nice minimal white photo of a slice of cake with "bagism" written on it. Really well crafted package. I just wish there was more actual music on it, but I guess that wasn't the point.

 

I'd love to see the two Unfinished Music albums reissued. Am I the only one who actually enjoys them?

 

Heck, even a little more 'audio-verite' would be welcome!

 

Actually they were re-released on CD and vinyl a year or two ago.

 

How is it I missed that? Thanks a lot!

 

I'd be in for a box set of the John & Yoko LPs (Two Virgins, Life with the Lions, Live in Toronto and Wedding Album) if they are boxed with replica 45s of the Give Peace a Chance, Cold Turkey and Instant Karma singles.

That would be a nice comprehensive pre-POB LB John & Yoko box set.

 

You're welcome. I wasn't fast enough to update the post with links, so here it is:

Two Virgins CD: John Lennon / Yoko Ono* - Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins
Two Virgins LP: John Lennon And Yoko Ono* - Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins
Life With The Lions CD: John Lennon / Yoko Ono* - Unfinished Music No.2: Life With The Lions
Life With The Lions LP: John Lennon / Yoko Ono* - Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With The Lions

 

MUCH appreciated

 

On the same label, secretly Canadian.

 

Pass. I've got the original. That's good enough.

 

I’m only buying if it’s remastered from the original analog tapes

 

How much did the original set sell for back in 1969?

 

No cake?

 

$500 oops sorry ....that was for Paul’s new deluxe box set of playing cards ♠️

 

They’ve done a wonderful job w this series. I ordered the vinyl box, cd and T bundle $59. Seems fair.

 

WHITE VINYL!!

John & Yoko's 'Wedding Album' to Be Reissued - Best Classic Bands

 

I was trying to figure out if this was extreme sarcasm.

Funny thing with the Zapple label and what was on it...if they put out Esher at the same time (as a Zapple release)-I wonder how it would have sold?

Hopefully the 8 track and cassette versions will be available as well....lol!

 

I'd love to see the two Unfinished Music albums finished! Where are the out-takes and bonus tracks?

 

I find it funny when I think back that in the fall of 1970, when I started browsing into record stores, local little Mom & Pop shops would still carry these weird objects (the Zapple albums)... They HAD to since these were Beatle products! Thus they were forced into daily contact with avant-garde and weirdness because of The Beatles! lol! They - where I lived, in the sticks - wouldn't have carried much of Zappa... But The Beatles sold, so they had a pass!

 

True! I would see them in racks in the middle of liquor stores in Lowell, MA

 

Liquor stores!
