Cambridge 1969 is worth repeated listens. So is Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking For Her Hand in the Snow). Two Virgins is not that great.   

The full 9:09 unedited 'Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking For Her Hand in the Snow)' is well worth tracking down and hearing as the whole band are so tight; i'm not much of a fan of that kind of music but it really works.

There's also an outtake called 'Slow Blues' which is reminiscent of the 'Get Off (White Power)' jam from the Get Back rehearsals in January 1969 which is pretty cool. Yoko's vocals work very well with the groove the band are in.

Resurfaced John Lennon letter details his anger with record labels over his first album with Yoko Ono

From the article: {gotta love how Lennon concluded the letter}

Addressed to “Martin George of Rock Ink”, the auction house cites “noted Beatles expert” Perry Cox in affirming that the letter was sent to the late Beatles producer George Martin. However, author Mark Lewisohn has subsequently told The Times that he believes that Lennon was actually responding to the journalist Martin George, who wrote for “a magazine or a weekly underground newspaper called Ink“.

Referring to the 1968 album ‘Two Virgins ’, the first record he wrote and recorded with Ono, Lennon writes in the letter: “Yoko and I got ‘Two Virgins ’ out in spite of [which is underlined] being past owners of Apple. We made it in May and they fucked us about till November! Then E. M. I. (who have the real control) wrote warning letters to all their puppets around the world telling them not handle it in any way (this after Sir Joe [Lockwood, chairman of EMI] had told us face to face that he would do ‘everything he could’ to help us with it – and asking us for autographed copies!!).

“In the States it came out on Tetragrammaton which vanished leaving a few thousand spares (it was sold discretely wrapped in a brown paper bags),” Lennon continues. “Retailers here and there were too scared to handle it and it sold very few – it’s very well known but not many people could actually get it. In most other major markets, e.g. Japan, it has never been released.

After railing against the censorship of the word “fuck” and the “banning” of Ono’s ‘Open Your Box’, Lennon concluded the letter with: “Just thought you’d like to know.”
