Sometime In New York City:John Lennon & Yoko Ono

Some Time in New York City (rendered Sometime in New York City on the record label, inner jacket, and original compact disc) is a studio album paired with the live album Live Jam as a double album.

Released in 1972, it is John Lennon's third post-Beatles solo album, fifth with Yoko Ono, and third with producer Phil Spector. Some Time in New York Cityfared poorly critically and commercially compared to Lennon's previous two albums, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine.

[hide]  *1 Background  ==Background[ edit] == John Lennon and Yoko Ono moved to New York City in September 1971 and continued their involvement in political, peace and social justice causes of thecounterculture era. When they eventually settled in Greenwich Village, in October,[1]  they were quickly contacted by activists Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffmanwho persuaded them to appear at a rally for left-wing writer John Sinclair, who was jailed for possession of two marijuana joints.[1]  The Lennons also spoke out on the Attica Prison riots, jailing of Angela Davis and oppression of women. On 12 November, Lennon taped numerous demos of "The Luck of the Irish", which was filmed, and titled Luck of the Irish – A Videotape by John Reilly.[1]  On 9 December, Lennon and Ono flew to Ann Arbor in Michigan, for the John Sinclair rally, which was due to start the following day.[1]  On the morning before the rally, Lennon was recorded playing the song "Chords of Fame" with Phil Ochs.[1] At the rally itself, Lennon and Ono played tracks that would end up on Some Time in New York City: "Attica State", "The Luck of the Irish", "Sisters O Sisters" and "John Sinclair".[1]  The performance was filmed, and included in the short film Ten for Two which was shown at Ann Arbor sometime in December.[nb 1] [1]

Soon, the government would begin deportation proceedings against the couple, and the FBI began intense surveillence, documenting their every move. ==Recording<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:20.363636016845703px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The original double album contained the live album Live Jam containing the Plastic Ono Supergroup's 15 December 1969 live performance of "Cold Turkey" and "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking for Her Hand in the Snow)"<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[nb 2]  at the Lyceum Ballroom in London,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Listen41_5-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[3]  from a UNICEF charity show,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-W.26MJL15_6-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[4]  billed as the "Peace for Christmas Concert".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-WMGGW67_7-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[5]  In addition to Lennon and Ono, as part of the super group among others was former-Beatle George Harrison,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-W.26MJL15_6-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[4]  The Who's drummer Keith Moon, Delaney & Bonnie,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-JLBio131_3-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[2]  Billy Preston and Legs Larry Smith.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-WMGGW67_7-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[5] Harrison, who before the performance had been touring with Delaney & Bonnie, was excited by Lennon's proposal over a phone call when asked if he wanted to play with him.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-AYNWL90-91_8-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[6]  The ballroom had its interior cover by posters declaring "WAR IS OVER, if you want it, love John and Yoko.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-AYNWL91_9-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[7]  For "Cold Turkey", Ono had sat inside a white bag which was located near Lennon's feet, while for "Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking for Her Hand in the Snow)", Ono jumped out of the bag, facing the crowd, and proceeded to scream at them.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-AYNWL91_9-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[7]  As the latter song got towards the end of its performance, Ono broke down crying.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-AYNWL91_9-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[7]  An early mix of the two tracks was arranged by the Abbey Road Studios engineers on 26 November 1970, and was sent to Lennon and Ono.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Diary_1-12" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[1]  The album also featured a recording of Lennon and Ono performing with Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention at the Fillmore East on 6 June 1971, which they performed with after the persistence of Andy Warhol.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Diary_1-13" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[1]  The performance was documented after Ono had arranged for someone to film it.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Diary_1-14" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[1]  Klaus Voormann overdubbed his bass at a later date.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Diary_1-15" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[1]

Lennon once again brought in Phil Spector to co-produce the new studio album, which was completed 20 March 1972.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Diary_1-18" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[1]  Around this time, Lennon and Ono were producing Elephant's Memory's self-titled album.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Diary_1-19" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[1]  Several jams were recorded featuring Lennon and Elephant's Memory, all of which remained unreleased: "Don't Be Cruel", "Hound Dog", "Send Me Some Lovin'", "Roll Over Beethoven", "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", "It'll Be Me", "Not Fade Away", "Ain't That a Shame", and "Caribbean".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Diary_1-20" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[1] ==Music and lyrics<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:20.363636016845703px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The opening song of the studio album, "Woman Is the Nigger of the World" (a phrase Ono had coined in the late 1960s), was intended as a negation of sexism and was also issued as a single in the US to controversial reaction, and – as a consequence – little airplay and much banning. The Lennons went to great lengths (including a press conference attended by staff from Jet and Ebony magazines) to explain that the word "nigger" was being used in an allegorical sense and not as an affront to black people. A quote from Ron Dellums was featured on an issue of Billboard (referred to on an episode of The Dick Cavett Show), referring to the use of the word "nigger". Lennon's other tracks include the biographical "New York City", a Chuck Berry-styled rocker that details the Lennons' early months in their new home, as well as "John Sinclair", his musical plea for Sinclair's release from a ten-year sentence for giving two marijuana joints to an undercover policewoman.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:20.363636016845703px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Yoko Ono, very much a feminist supporter, responds musically with "Sisters, O Sisters", tackles the lacking education system with "Born in a Prison", and celebrates a culture of one in "We're All Water". In fact, this album is generally seen as the beginning of Ono's emergence as a songwriter after her rather challenging previous two releases. Together, Lennon and Ono lament police brutality in "Attica State", the hardships of war-torn Northern Ireland in "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "The Luck of the Irish", and pay tribute to Angela Davis with "Angela". ==Release<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:20.363636016845703px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Some Time In New York City was released in the US on 12 June 1972, and a few months later on 15 September in the UK, as there were difficulties regarding song copyrights.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Diary_1-21" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[1]  The album was packaged like a newspaper of the events covered in the album, causing even more consternation with an altered photo ofRichard Nixon and Mao Zedong dancing nude together. (The photo was stickered over on many of the issued copies, with a non-removable seal). With most of the gatefold cover space taken up by printed lyrics and photographs, the album credits appeared on the first disc's inner sleeve. The customised label, featuring the face of Lennon morphing into Ono's, was created by Iain Macmillan. The inner sleeve for Live Jam featured Lennon's doodling over the cover of Zappa's album, Fillmore East - June 1971, adding his credits and commentary to Zappa's. ===Reception<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:20.363636016845703px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Coming after Imagine, Some Time in New York City proved a sharp about-face for Lennon fans expecting more of the same when the double album appeared that summer. Critics were not impressed. In a scathing review published in Rolling Stone, Stephen Holden wrote that "the Lennons should be commended for their daring", but not before calling the album "incipient artistic suicide", adding, "except for "John Sinclair" the songs are awful. The tunes are shallow and derivative and the words little more than sloppy nursery-rhymes that patronise the issues and individuals they seek to exalt. Only a monomaniacal smugness could allow the Lennons to think that this witless doggerel wouldn't insult the intelligence and feelings of any audience."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-RS_.23113_14-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[12]  Dave Marsh wrote a mixed review for Creem, writing that "it's not half bad. It may be 49.9% bad, but not half."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Creem_15-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[13]  The Milwaukee Sentinel declared that John and Yoko had produced "another crude, superficial look at trendy leftist politics and have plunged even further into their endless echo chamber."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Sentinel_16-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[14]  Although the UK release managed a number 11 chart peak, it only went to number 48 in the US. Lennon was reportedly stunned by the album's failure and consequently did not record new music for almost a year.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Solo_17-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[15]

Both performances were filmed and recorded, with the evening show broadcast on ABC Television, and the earlier matineé show compiled for release as the 1986 live album and video, Live in New York City. It proved to be Lennon's last full live concert.

In the remixed and remastered release of 2005, "John Sinclair" and "Attica State" were not remixed.
