Season Of Glass [Limited Release]

The fourth installment in the Yoko Ono reappraisal project is here. Just seven months after John Lennon was fatally shot and passed away, Yoko Ono released her landmark album "Season of Glass" in June 1981. Now, for the first time in 45 years, it is reissued on analog LP as a "45th Anniversary Edition". This LP features a new remaster from the original tapes and is pressed as a limited edition of 1,000 white color vinyl copies. The original artwork is reproduced as faithfully as possible, and it includes a newly produced booklet featuring previously unpublished photographs along with a bonus poster. The Japan edition features a specially designed obi with a grapefruit motif as its visual highlight and also includes newly written liner notes. Ono's fifth solo album, "Season of Glass", reached the Top 50 of the U.S. album chart at the time of its release, earned four stars from Rolling Stone, and was selected by Pitchfork as one of the "200 Best Albums of the 1980s". Filled with themes of love, loss, anger, and fear, the album is an honest and deeply felt work, at times devastating in its emotional intensity. It bears the unflinching imprint of Ono's own experience and forms a companion piece to her 1970 works "John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band" and "Yoko Ono / Plastic Ono Band". Now widely recognized as a powerful artistic statement on grief and loss, it is regarded as one of Yoko Ono's greatest achievements. Every year on December 8, the day John was murdered, Ono continues to post the cover image showing John's bloodstained glasses on her social media, together with the number of people who have lost their lives to gun violence since that day, and this latest version is included as the bonus poster. Includes newly written liner notes, lyrics, and Japanese translations.

再始動! 芸術家ヨーコ・オノ再評価プロジェクトの第4弾。ジョン・レノンが凶弾に倒れ、この世を去ってから、わずか7ヶ月後、1981年6月に発売されたヨーコ・オノの金字塔的アルバム『シーズン・オブ・グラス』が45年振りにアナログLPで復刻。「45周年記念盤」LPはオリジナル・テープからの最新リマスター、1000枚限定White Color Vinyl。オリジナル盤のアートワークを可能な限り再現し、未発表写真収録の新規ブックレットとともに「特典ポスター」が封入される。日本盤は帯にグレープフルーツをアイキャッチにした丸帯を作成。新規ライナーノーツも収録する。ソロ5作目となる今作は当時全米アルバム・チャートTOP50入りを果たし、ローリング・ストーン誌4つ星獲得、ピッチフォーク誌は「80年代のベスト・アルバム200選」に選出した。愛、喪失、怒り、恐怖を主題とする誠実で愛情に満ち、時に胸を締めつけられるような過酷な楽曲の数々。彼女自身の体験を容赦なく刻み込み、1970年の『ジョンの魂』『ヨーコの心』と対をなすような作品。今や悲嘆と喪失を描いた力強い芸術的宣言として広く認められ、ヨーコ・オノの最高傑作の一つと見なされている。ジョンが殺された12月8日になると、自らのSNSにこの血染めのジョンの眼鏡を映したカヴァー写真を、その日以降、銃によって命を落とした人の人数とともに投稿し続けている (特典ポスターはこの最新版が収録される)。■新規解説・歌詞・対訳付
