INFINITE UNIVERSE AT DAWN signed autographed by YOKO ONO (GENESIS PUBLICATIONS).
With the recent 50th anniversary deluxe re-release of John Lennon's first monumentally intimate solo album, Plastic Ono Band, Yoko's influence in exploring the various artistic vehicles by which raw emotion can be creatively and comprehensively conveyed, this volume takes on added significance.  Lennon's first solo post-Beatles artistic statement is widely considered one of the most autobiographical declarations of pure and raw catharsis.  Of course, the primal scream therapy the couple was introduced to also was also key.  The therapeutic techniques were innovated and embraced by Mr. Arthur Janov of California should also to be considered instrumental in terms of inspiration and enabling a leap of faith.
The Beatles, that unforgettable and timeless musical quartet from the eternally resilient port of Liverpool, England.  With all due respect to musical musical titans like Prince, Michael Jackson and even Elvis Presley, nobody in popular music was able to create so many diverse musical statements of quality in such a short period of time.  With the Beatles it was not only musical evolution but rather music and social evolution.  The melodic autobiography evolved from Love Me Do, She Loves You, Yesterday to Norwegian Wood, Rain with Ringo's exquisite drumming, feedback galore in I Feel Fine, a two note melody for the psychedelic ages in I am the Walrus, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Tomorrow Never Knows, Strawberry Fields Forever, A Day In The Life, Across the Universe and Let it Be.  The backbone of the prolific nature of the group was the Lennon McCartney songwriting partnership which was motivated by what Beatle producer Sir George Martin coined a "very healthy competition."  Of course, George Harrison needs to be credited for having what Sinatra felt what the greatest love song of the last century.  Many feel song Taxman which opened Revolver was his first true musical tour de force.  Taxman had more character than Don't Bother Me, If I Needed Someone or I Need You.  Pushing boundaries is what the Beatles were all about.  Yes, I am aware that classical composers such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Franz Schubert were very prolific in their relatively short lifetimes but one could argue their music was not always as versatile in their harmonic structure.  Further, the Beatles had little if any musical reference points given nobody before them created something like Eleanor Rigby, The Innter Light, or even Norwegian Wood, at least not in the popular music genre.  They knew how to take the best from many different musical and global traditions and presented a form different if not subjectively greater than the disparate elements utilized.
After the breakup came universal songs like Imagine, #9 Dream, Band on the Run, My Love, Too Many People, Uncle Albert, Isolation, Working Class Hero, My Sweet Lord, Hold On, Well Well Well, Gimme Some Truth, Give Peace a Chance, Cold Turkey, Instant Karma, What is Life, All things Must Pass, the Concert for Bangladesh as well as Ringo's commercial successes that can not be overlooked. Time magazine officially commemorated Paul McCartney and Wings solo accomplishments that were stratospheric in nature.  Jet, London Town, With a little luck, Mull of Kintyre, Here Today, Wanderlust, Arrow through my heart, No Values and the Michael Jackson Off the Wall (MJ rendition of Girlfriend) and record breaking Thriller LP contributions (The Girl is Mine), Flowers in the Dirt, Mrs. Vanderbilt, Girlfriend, The Fireman and so many others. McCartney plays live and gives you nearly three hours of nonstop musical bliss that provides the soundtrack of the sixties onwards.
Lennon once told historical talk show host Dick Cavett that if so much creativity was produced in the post Beatles era, Yoko should be give credit if one truly believes she was the catalyst to break the group up.  Of course, in hindsight and as confirmed by McCartney in interviews with the late David Frost, the group was already breaking up way before the advent of this influential figure in Lennon's artistic life. Some biographical accounts indicate Lennon wanted to leave the group as early as 1966 after live performances ended at Candlestick Park in San Francisco and he ventured off to Almeria, Spain to film How I Won the War with film director Richard Lester.
During Pride month, many recall Yoko's compositions and contributions including her iconic song Every Man Has a Man who Loves Him based on Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him.  Yoko has become a symbol of innovation, struggle and resilience.  As she once said, she took all the energy that was intrinsic in the hate directed towards her and metamorphosized it into positive solution focused energy.

This is the extinct out of print deluxe edition signed by Yoko Ono- only 350 produced worldwide- MEGA LIMITED RUN.  A true bona fide rare edition. Mega rare John Lennon / Yoko Ono Beatles related item.  Avant garde and modern art collectors.  The recent Guggenheim and MOMA (New York City) retrospectives have been received with a great deal of critical and popular acclaim. To be sure, Ms. Ono influenced John Lennon's musical style in works such as Imagine (co written), I want you (she's so heavy) from Abbey Road, Across the Universe and even the futuristic musical statements that are mystical like I am the Walrus, as well as politically laden pieces like Revolution (as well as Revolution # 9) Dear Prudence, and Happiness is a Warm Gun from the White Album.  Not to mention I'm Losing You from 1980's Double Fantasy.
London, Sydney, Germany and the Spanish city of Bilbao have also been cultural hosts of critically and publicly acclaimed exhibitions very recently.  As the New York Times seemed to acknowledge, there has been a sincere reevaluation of Yoko's creative expressions and social activism projects.  A Tariq Ali stated in documentary THE US VS JOHN LENNON, the 1969 peace bed ins were certainly innovative in their scope and I would dare say comprehensive in their creativity.  After all, the Montreal bed in held at the Queen Elizabeth (La Reine Elizabeth) hotel culminated in the recording of what was probably the musical staple and bedrock of the massive anti-Vietnam war peace movements, Give Peace a Chance.  During the Moratorium of 1969, it was played endlessly.

Rare sold out signed autographed by Yoko Ono.  Yoko is best known as being the wife of former Beatle John Lennon.  They met at the Indica Gallery in London in an avant-garde exhibition galvanized Mr. Lennon's curiosity.  Climb a white ladder, take a magnifying glass and read the word YES for a positive spin and the rest is history.  Ms. Ono Lennon's body of work has been re-visited and
re-evaluated as the years have passed putting her fine art talents solely in the spotlight. This historical deluxe release produced by the venerable British company GENESIS PUBLICATIONS commemorates Yoko's complete body of work- including her conceptual art that enabled John to participate and mold the anti Vietnam war sentiment as the quintessential peace anthem GIVE PEACE A CHANCE was born during the second bed in the Queen Elizabeth (La Reine Elizabeth) hotel in Montreal, Canada. While many regarded Yoko as a relevant catalyst in breaking up the Beatles, she became John's muse for other artistic, social and political avenues of thought.  As Paul McCartney himself indicated in an interview with David Frost, songs like IMAGINE and GIVE PEACE A CHANCE would have not been created.  Not to mention the hauntingly beautiful ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, IM LOSING YOU, COME TOGTHER, I WANT YOU (SHE'S SO HEAVY), HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN and perhaps even the mystical and whimsical masterpiece I AM THE WALRUS.  It is important to note that Lennon was already contemplating leaving the group in 1966 when he accompanied Richard Lester to Almeria, Spain in order to film HOW I WON THE WAR.  Many were actually surprised when the Beatles stopped touring and released SGT PEPPERS LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND after a long hiatus in popular music terms.
