'' 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 elaborate 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.
''Wedding Album'' was no-show in the UK charts, but managed to peak at #178 in the US. The album was available on vinyl,
Cassette Tape and
8-track Tape , each with the same deluxe packaging. The album was also advertised through magazine print advertisements, which Lennon and Ono's previous two albums had not.
''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.
