Yoko Ono, Thurston Moore, and Kim Gordon Release Collaborative Benefit Single

Screaming Skull · 06.05.2012, 02:30 PM

If Yoko reunites Sonic Youth, I'll forgive her for breaking up The Beatles...

http://pitchfork.com/news/46743-yoko...enefit-single/

Yoko Ono has teamed up with (former?) Sonic Youth members Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon for a new 14-minute track. "Early in the Morning" is out today digitally via Chimera Music, with a June 19 release set for iTunes and Amazon. It will also be released as a 10" on June 19 in the U.S. and July 3 in the UK. Profits from the track go to Ashinaga Rainbow House, which is building a Rainbow House in the Tohoku region of Japan for victims of the March 2011 tsunami.

Ono is also releasing An Invisible Flower, an illustrated story that she wrote in 1952 as a 19-year-old, via Chimera Library/Chronicle Books. The book will also be released in a special boxed edition.

i wonder when this was recorded?

stu666 · 06.05.2012, 02:44 PM

I thought this release was a recording from an old performance... maybe this show? http://youtu.be/GZ8OFA295oE

I could be wrong though.

This is very special to hear, actually it hard to even put it to words.

i know music and the underneath raw expression can be very healing and can become entire new realities of experience for any people let alone people who have been experimenting for decades while focusing their hearts and minds.

Theremin · 06.21.2012, 12:13 PM

Maybe more than 40 years after pulling a certain band apart miss Ono can bring another one together again. Redemption at last!

I got "Early In the Morning" last thursday. I was very irritated about Yoko´s part in first listening, but it wasn´t that bad in second listening. I think Yoko´s ability to express herself with her voice has always been quite limited. And you can hear it very clear in Early in the morning because Thurston and Kim have also in this piece very great ability to express themself. But anyway it´s also beautiful item!

toxic johnny · 06.30.2012, 10:52 AM

This is my favourite release so far this year...
Hands down,
I love every second of it.

Yoko didn't break up the Beatles, the Beatles broke up the Beatles. They were adult men drifting apart that couldn't handle themselves maturely.

holy ghost · 07.21.2012, 08:51 PM

Picked this up the other day - the actual vinyl is a piece of shit - pops and clicks everywhere and the surface noise is brutal. No I wasn't playing the side with the etching

Hopefully the LP will be a different story, because the actual song sounds great, sounds like Taj-Mahal Travelers....

My version sounds just great!

holy ghost · 07.23.2012, 07:20 AM

Aye that's fucked mate, I wonder what the deal is with my copy? It looks pristine but it sounds like I'm playing a 78 that's been through a dishwasher.....

Have you got european version? I think mine is from US...

holy ghost · 07.24.2012, 07:55 AM

Hmmm, I bought it in Canada so I assume it's the us version. Weird. Oh well. I'll have the track when the album is released so no matter....

Very strange. But the oddities in vinyls are not rare. I used to have Beatles Rubber Soul-vinyl, where on the a-side the second channel sounded very dark. And I still have Black Sabbath Sabotage-vinyl where in Megalomania sounds getting dark in the middle of song and then it changes to "locked groove" like it is in the end of Expressway in the evol, the song continues normally after that but you have to put up the needle (I am going to buy decent version sometimes). Also I have some vinyls where the hole is not middle or pressings is not in middle so there is wawing (Three of my Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds-vinyls are like that, I tried to change them but all the others were just the same). I have believed if there has coming something wrong it is in the whole pressing, but maybe sometimes it could be only part of it. Have you tried to change it in your retailer?
