To soothe your Ono drama, obviously.
No drama here (ever). I have even talked to her on the phone when she called a place I was at that was owned by one of the Beatles friends & I happened to be the person that answered the phone (I had no clue who she was until I found out later).
I simply never bought anything with her singing on it except for this one:
The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus (album)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the concert show of the same name, see
The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.
The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is the fifth release of
the Rolling Stones music by former manager
Allen Klein's
ABKCO Records (who gained control of the band's
Decca/
London material in 1970) after the band's departure from Decca and Klein. Released in 1996,
The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is a
live album that captures the taping of their
ill-fated 1968 TV special, which was not broadcast until almost three decades later.
Overview
[
edit]
Seeking an original way to promote the newly released
Beggars Banquet, The Rolling Stones concocted the idea of recording a live extravaganza of music with a circus theme. They also invited guests to perform, among whom
John Lennon (with
Yoko Ono),
The Who,
Eric Clapton (fresh from the break-up of
Cream),
Taj Mahal,
Jethro Tull (a short lived line-up featuring
Tony Iommi), and Mick Jagger's then-current girlfriend,
Marianne Faithfull, all took part. Specially for the occasion, Lennon, Clapton,
Keith Richards (on bass) and
Mitch Mitchell (of
The Jimi Hendrix Experience) would form a one-time group entitled
The Dirty Mac.
Recorded on 11 December into the early hours of the following day, the final results of most acts was positive, except for The Rolling Stones' performance (including the first ever appearance of "
You Can't Always Get What You Want"), which they themselves felt was somewhat flat in places and lacked spark, especially when compared with both The Who's standout performance of "
A Quick One While He's Away" and The Dirty Mac's rendition of
The Beatles' "
Yer Blues". Consequently, The Rolling Stones shelved the project with the intention of working on it further. However, with
Brian Jones' death the following July, the project was left to gather dust.
The film was thought lost or destroyed, but parts were found in
Ian Stewart's belongings following his death in 1985. A substantial portion of the film was still missing until it was rediscovered in 1993 in a
Who vault in London. The film was completed in 1996 and premiered on 12 October 1996 at the
Walter Reade Theater as part of the
New York Film Festival.

The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus album and a tie-in
home video of the event was released in October 1996. The album reached #92 in the US at the Billboard 200. The
Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus DVD edition was released in October 2004. Fifteen years later, a limited U.S. remastered theatrical release of the film run during the first week of April 2019 in conjunction with what was—still then—the ongoing North American leg of the Rolling Stones'
No Filter Tour (before it was later postponed).
