LP - Yoko Ono - Season Of Glass (Pre-Order)

1LP - released July 17

To mark the 45th anniversary of its release, Secretly Canadian has announced that Yoko Ono's seminal 1981 album "Season Of Glass" is being reissued in an expanded CD version, and on vinyl for the first time since its intitial release, with expanded and enhanced artwork. One of Pitchfork's Top 200 albums of the 1980s, "Season Of Glass" was released in June 1981, just seven months after the senseless murder of Ono's husband and creative partner, John Lennon.

Full of songs about love, loss, anger, and fear, the album reflected Ono's experience in stark detail, creating almost a companion piece to Ono and Lennon's 1970 Plastic Ono Band "primal scream" albums. Backed by the same band that had played on "Double Fantasy", the sound of "Season Of Glass" sits in alignment next to that album, which at the time was already considered an artistic triumph for Ono, who was inspiring young artists like the B-52s and Sonic Youth. This expanded edition of the album includes Ono's most commercially successful single, the Grammy-nominated "Walking On Thin Ice", originally a collaboration with Lennon, and later embraced as a cult classic.
