Today, on her 86th birthday, Yoko Ono has introduced a reissue of Wedding Album, her 1969 collaborative LP with John Lennon. It’s due out on March 22 by way of Secretly Canadian and Chimera Music. The launch date falls fifty years after John and Yoko’s marriage, which came about on March 20, 1969 in Gibraltar. It’s a part of the labels’ ongoing Yoko Ono Reissue Project, a sequence launched in 2016 that goals to remaster and reissue all eleven of Ono’s recorded works.
Originally launched in 1969, Wedding Album marked the couple’s third collaborative LP, and got here in a field stuffed with mementos from John and Yoko’s nuptials, together with images, drawings by Lennon and Ono, a duplicate of their marriage certificates, an image of a bit of wedding ceremony cake, and extra. Secretly Canadian and Chimera Music have recreated these particulars, and can reissue the LP in limited-edition white vinyl, CD, and digital codecs. You can pre-order it here.
Ono’s most up-to-date album, Warzone, arrived final October. In 2016, Secretly Canadian and Chimera reissued three Yoko Ono LPs: 1968’s Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins, 1969’s Unfinished Music No. 2: Life with the Lions, and 1970’s Plastic Ono Band. The following 12 months, the labels gave 1971’s Fly, 1973’s Approximately Infinite Universe, and 1973’s Feeling the Space the reissue treatment.
