今作は1968年作品。ジョン・レノン&ヨーコ・オノ名義で発表され、前衛的・実験的な作品で当時物議を醸したジャケットも含めてあまりにも過激な作品であったが、ジョンの初のソロ作品でもあり、歴史的にも貴重な1ページといえる。ボーナス・トラックとしてジョン・レノンの「平和を我等に/Give Peace A Chance」のB面だった「Remember Love」が収録される。オリジナル・マスターテープからの新リマスター盤。

At the time of its release, this duo album by John Lennon and Yoko Ono gained its greatest notice for its cover, a photograph that depicted the two standing before the camera naked. The recording, too, can be described as naked, in that it contains no music that would interfere with one's ability to hear the normal sounds of life. The record is not unlike what you might get if you turned on a tape recorder for a random half-hour in your home -- snatches of inaudible conversation far away from the microphone, footsteps, wind, and so on. Conceptual "music" in the Cage-ian sense, yes, but not popular music of the kind with which John Lennon had been previously associated in any sense at all. [The 2006 Video Arts reissue adds the bonus track of Yoko Ono's ballad "Remember Love," the B-side of Plastic Ono Band's "Give Peace a Chance."] ~ William Ruhlmann|
