JOHN LENNON & YOKO ONO - 'WEDDING ALBUM'

'Wedding Album' was the final in a succession of three experimental albums by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Released in 1969, it consisted of two tracks: side 1 "John & Yoko" - a recording of Lennon and Ono calling to each other, through a range of emotions, over the sound of their heartbeats. Side 2: "Amsterdam", the second side, consists of interviews, conversations, and captured sounds during the couple's famous "Bed-In" honeymoon, after being married on 20 March of that year.

The set was presented inside an elaborate but extremely fragile box set designed by John Kosh, who also designed the 'Let It Be' box.

This 100% complete copy contains all original UK printed components:

'The Press' 16-page booklet containing press cuttings about John & Yoko, a 2-sided photo poster entitled; 'The Wedding'

A picture of their wedding cake & a 2-sided poster drawn by John & Yoko

Housed in an outer-laminated 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed gatefold cover.
