November 11, 1968: John Lennon releases his first solo album, an experimental/avant garde recording with Yoko Ono called Unfinished Music No.1: Two Virgins. The album is less known for the recordings and better known for the cover, John and Yoko in all their full frontal naked glory. The cover provoked an outrage, of course, prompting distributors to sell the album in a plain brown wrapper. Copies of the album were impounded as obscene in several jurisdictions, including 30,000 copies in New Jersey in January 1969. The LP will not chart in the UK but will peak at #124 in the US. - I remember buying mine in Tri-Boro Records in Jamaica, Queens it came in a brown rapper and they had it under the counter you had to know about it and ask about it to get it -
