I bought all the "Unfinished Music" albums when they got released on CD. I listened to each of them once and promptly sold them. They're crap.
I think "Unfinished Music #2: Life With The Lions" is pretty good, as far as that sort of thing goes. I used to listen to a lot of noisy avant-garde jazz stuff, so I have a taste for it. I'll definitely never play it more than once a year though!And "Two Virgins" is indeed pretty terrible. I intend to hear "The Wedding Album" someday.

I listened to them all while writing the John Lennon section. For what it's worth, here's my verdict.

Wasn't there a big white strip (no pun intended) placed over his *ahem* family jewels, though?
Joe it actually came wrapped in a brown grocery-bag-type cover over the album slick. (see a pic of my covered copy here).

I was talking about the picture of Paul on the White Album poster.

What do you mean by a John/Yoko reissue? It was originally credited to John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

They were reissued on Rykodisc in '97 along with the Yoko stuff – even the catalogue numbers are sequential, although the spine credits them to either "Yoko Ono" or "John Lennon/Yoko Ono", depending.
No doubt Ryko figured that anyone who liked Yoko's music would maybe be interested in hearing the JohnandYoko, uh, music. (Anyone who liked John's music?…not so much!)

The cover is as Iconic as any Beatles album except the really big ones like Sgt. Pepper or Abbey Road- though granted no one listens to it. It was the first time a mainstream artist like John had ever appeared full frontal naked- another first for John!
I mean, obviously they were naked because they felt born again with their new found love. It's a shame the record itself is not that great- even Yoko doesn't have high regard of the content these days. I don't look upon them as sexual so I have no problem with the nudity, I think some people expect for want it to be erotic and it's certainly not that at all.

I agree with you, Ochdeus, it stands as an iconic album cover--and you gotta love the title--but still, at the time, can't you imagine the rest of the Beatles looking at each other and rolling their eyes….."John's gone and done it again…."
(When I was a kid (a million years ago), I heard that the White Album had the plain cover because that picture was underneath it, covered up like a Butcher Cover album…..ha!)

I really wish I hadn't seen the cover, ever! There are some things 5th graders should NOT be seeing.
And that concludes my presentation on why the internet isn't safe.

Bahaha 
I don't think I could come to terms in ever listening to it. I mean if its like Revolution #9 with other noises of them doing *it*, no thanks.

I'm going to use that, but knowing my friends they'll probably going to like seeing naked people. This is the main reason I hang out here than with my real friends, virtual ones are less, I don't know.

Oh no I'm probably as equally dirty-minded as your friends, I just don't show it on the internet
