(1968)
Unfinished Music No.2: Life With The Lions
(1969)

Unfinished Music No.1: Two Virgins was an experimental album released by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1968. The result of an all night session of musical experimentation; John and Yoko's debut album is known not only for its content, but also for its cover. The couple used a time delay camera to take nude photographs of themselves, the front cover displayed them frontally nude, while the rear cover featured them from behind.


Two Virgins was the first LP released under the Apple Records label. It was distributed by Track Records in the UK and Tetragrammaton in the USA.


The cover provoked an outrage, prompting distributors to sell the album in a brown wrapper. Copies of the album were impounded as obscenity in several jurisdictions. Lennon wryly commented that the uproar seemed to have less to do with the explicit nudity, and more to do with the fact that the pair were rather unattractive. Nevertheless, the taboo breaking album cover was perhaps the first time that any male celebrity of any consequence had exposed himself so thoroughly to the public.
