Yoko & the Oh No's - Yoko and the Oh No's - VINYL LP

1LP in outer and inner sleeves pressed on 140g Rockney-coloured vinyl. The whole of the UK mourned when Chas Hodges passed away in September 2018, and the parade of stars (including Eric Clapton, Joe Brown, Gary Brooker, Ralph McTell and Albert Lee) who performed at the tribute concert in December that year is testament to the regard in which Chas and his musical partner Dave Peacock are held. • Originally released on the duo's Rockney record tag in 1981, the InchMustn't GrumbleInch album includes their two biggest hit singles - InchAin't No Pleasing YouInch (# 2) and InchRabbitInch (# 8) - as well as InchI Miss Ya GirlInch and InchTurn That Noise DownInch. • This special edition has been mastered from the recently-found original ¼Inch production masters, and now also contains a newly-created inner sleeve. This features all the lyrics, photos, singles packshots and a brand new note by Dave Peacock himself about the writing and recording of the album.

Vinyl LP pressing. This long-overdue vinyl reissue of Yoko Ono's seminal, but massively under-appreciated Plastic Ono Band has all the makings of a classic rock nostalgia trip Ono, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Klaus Voorman and free-jazz legend Ornette Coleman. All the pieces are here to stir up a dangerous amount of nostalgia. But once the needle drops, the record achieves something exactly perpendicular to nostalgia. Released in 1971, the album not only influenced the approach of other musicians for decades, it also sounds absolutely modern 44 years out, eternally fresh despite the forward march of time. Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band not only predicted the intersection of the avant-garde and rock that would take place in the second half of that decade, the album would sound right at home at where that intersection is happening today.

Vinyl LP pressing. If you've listened to Feeling the Space, Yoko Ono's personal-is-political 1973 album, it should come as no surprise that the once-reviled artist is inspiring a new generation of activists in 2017. On such songs as the righteous chant InchWoman Power,Inch the empathetic ballad InchAngry Young Woman,Inch the hilarious proto-grrrl InchPotbelly Rocker,Inch and the satirical InchMen Men Men,Inch Yoko sings in surprisingly straightforward fashion about the burdens carried by women and the mandate for feminism. Supported by such skilled studio vets as guitarist David Spinozza, sax player Michael Brecker, and drummer Jim Keltner, this is perhaps Yoko's most accessible album, and her most intimate.
