| Yoko is known for many things, a talented conceptual artist, the wife of John Lennon (and the alledged cause of the Beatles break-up), the step-mother of Julian Lennon and a staunch advocate of her beliefs. She is NOT known as a disco artist, however she does score points in that arena. After John Lennon's murder, Yoko took her anguish into the recording studio and emerged with a raw collection of songs. From the gunshots before the cut "No, No, No" to the bloody glasses of John's on the cover, this is harrowing stuff indeed! But it's surprisingly good, if only for the fact that the whole world was feeling similarly at the time. One of the most essential Yoko Ono releases, it's powerful and chilling. The CD reissue of "Seasons Of Glass" adds two bonus cuts: the 1981 12" single "Walking On Thin Ice" and a previously unreleased version of "I Don't Know Why," an acappella home cassette recording made the day after John Lennon's assassination. Since that horrible era "Walking On Thin Ice" has become a cult classic, not only to Lennon/Ono fans but to dancers as well. For that accomplishment alone she derserves this mention..... |
