My personal review and reflection:
An interesting album! The first LP is a studio recording with acceptable material. Some is excellent, as "Woman Is The Nigger Of The World". Some is not so excellent!
The second LP is recorded live. The first two tracks are from a session with Eric Clapton in 1969. It's rough music, and it could have been excellent, but Yoko Ono is howling and screaming through all of it, always out of tune. The last four tracks are from a concert with Frank Zappa and Mothers Of Invention with Lennon/Ono as guests.
