Unnatural Music: John Lennon & Yoko Ono in Cambridge 1969: Account of the Circumstances Surrounding Their Appearance at the Natural Music Concert (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780907954699)

Literary Nonfiction. Art. Music. Anthony Barnett produced the Natural Music concert at which Lennon and Ono recorded 'Cambridge 1969' released on *Unfinished Music No. 2: Life with the Lions*. This book, illustrated with contemporary documents, includes Lennon's drawing on the inner sleeve of the author's copy of Zapple 01, examines the full circumstances surrounding the concert.

...in 1969 this was Lennon's first public appearance post Beatles and so it became fodder for documentation. This work is Barnett's attempt to set the record straight and begins with his first meeting with Ono in 1966. Following this account is a description of the concerts, the tapes and issuance of the recordings. From the beginning nothing went smoothly as Barnett was at first caught off guard by the assumptions of celebrity and ensuing commercial interests. Throughout Barnett inserts other published accounts and interviews of the 3/2/69 event. Fascinating reading and it highlights the very different worlds of rock and jazz as they existed in 1969.--Bob Rusch, Cadence Magazine
