'' is the final in a succession of three experimental albums by
John Lennon and
Yoko Ono . Released in
1969 , it consisted of two tracks, one on each side of the record:
"John & Yoko", the first side, is a recording of Lennon and Ono calling to each other, through a range of emotions, over the sound of their heartbeats.
"Amsterdam", the second side, is comprised of interviews, conversations, and captured sounds during the couple's famous "
Bed-In " honeymoon, after being married on
20 March of that year.
The record came as an elabourate box set designed by
John Kosh , including sets of photos, drawings by Lennon, a reproduction of the marriage certificate, a picture of a slice of wedding cake (inside a white sleeve), and a booklet of press clippings about the couple. The packaging took extra time, resulting in the album already being slightly dated when it appeared, arguably impacting sales.
''Wedding Album'' was no-show in the UK charts, but managed to peak at #178 in the US.
''Wedding Album'' was initially released on
Apple Records , but was reissued in
1997 through
Rykodisc with three bonus cuts - all of them
B-sides by
The Plastic Ono Band composed by Ono.
