TODAY IN BEATLES HISTORY!! "Mrs. Lennon" Single Release
40 years ago, September 29, 1971, Yoko Ono's first independent single "Mrs. Lennon" was released with "Midsummer New York" as its B-side track.
I particularly LOVE "Mrs. Lennon." It is such a simple song, with Ono on vocals, her husband, John, rockin' the keys, and friend and bandmate, Klaus Voorman holdin' the lows on the bass. Although having a simple structure, the song definitely inspires such a haunting atmosphere. Along with the mood and the cryptic lyrics, this track really provides a great window into the art John and Yoko made together. Both of them being unique artists and performers, they definitely opened eachothers' minds eye. I'm very glad that such a loving marriage produced music like this.
I have included the clip from John and Yoko's September 11, 1971 appearance on The Dick Cavett Show in which the pair introduce "Mrs. Lennon" and its accompanying video. The visuals, just as haunting and cryptic, further stand as a testament to the free expression that the Ono-Lennon's shared with themselves and the world.

TODAY IN BEATLES HISTORY!! ABBEY ROAD HITS SHELVES!!
42 years ago, September 26, 1969, Abbey Road was released! This album, although not The Beatles' final release, was the last to witness John, Paul, George, and Ringo record as a "unit." Much like 1968's The Beatles, Abbey Road's recording was less than united. Many of the songs were recorded in pieces and individually, but ultimately the record was considered one of The Beatles' most tightly recorded albums.
