John Lennon & Yoko Ono, ‘Plastic Ono Band’ (‘Billboard’ magazine, December 19, 1970). Click to enlarge.

Both John Lennon and Yoko Ono‘s respective Plastic Ono Band L.P.s were recorded in the fall of 1970 and released in December of that year. Both records are well worth a listen and Lennon’s disc is ranked at #23 on Rolling Stone‘s “The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.”

The ad above, featuring a sheet of uncut labels, was a great idea. Avant-garde even?
