Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band is the debut solo studio album by Japanese artist and musician Yoko Ono, released on Apple Records in December 1970 alongside her husband's album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. The album features Ono's vocal improvisations accompanied by the Plastic Ono Band (consisting of Lennon on guitar, Ringo Starr on drums, and Klaus Voormann on bass), with the exception of "AOS", on which she is backed by the Ornette Coleman Quartet.[3]
In the United States, Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band peaked at number 182 on the Billboard album chart. The album was poorly received upon release, with the exception of supportive reviews by Billboard and Lester Bangs of Rolling Stone. Despite its lack of commercial success, it has been influential on a variety of subsequent musicians.
