John Lennon/Yoko Ono - Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With the Lions
Experimental/Avant-Garde | 1 CD | EAC | APE tracks+log+cue+art | 286 MB
Label: Ryko (US) | Catalog#: RCD 10412 | Released: 1997 | RapidShare


Unfinished Music No.2: Life with the Lions is an album of experimental music released by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969, and the successor to 1968's highly controversial Unfinished Music No.1: Two Virgins. The title parodies the BBC radio drama Life with the Lyons, which had been a favourite of Lennon's.

The album opens with an extended and improvised recording entitled "Cambridge 1969", recorded on 2 March at Cambridge University, before a live audience. The piece consists of Yoko Ono's vocalisations accompanied by electric guitar from John Lennon. Saxophonist John Tchicai and percussionist John Stevens join Ono and Lennon towards the end of the piece.

The remainder of the album was recorded on a cassette tape in their suite at Queen Charlotte's Hospital in London during November 1968, where Ono would suffer the first of three miscarriages by the couple. Two previously unreleased bonus tracks, "Song For John" and "Mulberry" also stem from the Queen Charlotte Hospital recordings.

The album's front cover photo was taken while Ono was bedridden at Queen Charlotte's with Lennon by her side, while the back cover was a news photo of Lennon and Ono leaving Marylebone Police Station, after their arrest for hashish possession on 18 October 1968. (The back also carried a 'quote' from Beatles producer George Martin: "No comment.")

Unfinished Music No.2: Life with the Lions failed to chart in the UK, but managed a #174 peak in the US; Lennon told the media later they'd sold about 60,000 copies in the States. (He and Ono were disappointed that Apple Records in the UK hadn't given any promotion to the album, or included it in any advertising.)

Unfinished Music No.2: Life with the Lions was initially released on the Apple Records subsidiary label, Zapple Records, but was reissued through Rykodisc in 1997. ~ from Wikipedia

Good morning from Brazil.
Could you please reup this album?
Links were deleted from rapidshare and
I'd be very pleased to get this album
in APE or FLAC and just didn't find
another blog with it posted in lossless.
All that I got was in mp3 but APE and FLAC are worth
the download.
Thanks.
