Some Time in New York City [Music] Douban
John Lennon / Yoko Ono genre: Rock
release date 1972-06-12 publisher: apple/EMI
Some Time in New York City是英国摇滚音乐家约翰列侬的第3张个人专辑，也是小野洋子第5张个人专辑。这张专辑是一张双专辑，第一张是新歌，第二张则是被命名为live jam（活在困境）的现场歌曲。
相比于前两张专辑plastic ono band和imagine，这张专辑在商业上表现极为不佳，发行的单曲也遭到了惨痛失败。
这张专辑打破了约翰列侬前两张专辑热销的势头，成为了约翰列侬最失败的专辑。大量空洞的政治观点和口号，外加因为内容而被牺牲的可听性都造成了这张专辑的失败。但其中的现场演唱的部分还是值得一听的，约翰列侬和小野洋子先锋性的演唱实力值得肯定。
这张专辑在排行榜上遭遇了惨痛失败，在英国虽然勉强升到了#11，但在美国专辑只到达了#48。
在各大主流音乐杂志上，评论家都给出了尖锐的批评。
Dave Marsh评价：这张专辑不是一半的坏，是49.9%的坏。
Stephen Holden：这张专辑应该赞扬列侬夫妇的英勇，但这不应叫做”早期艺术自杀”。专辑中除了John Sinclair这首歌，其他都是丑陋的。曲调是浅显和衍生词很邋遢nursery-rhymes光顾的问题和个人寻求的提升。只有偏执的自满可以让列侬认为这愚蠢的打油诗不会侮辱所有听众的智商和感情。
Milwaukee Sentinel：专辑看似时尚，但实际上是肤浅的左派政治的倒退。
由于这张专辑的失败，约翰列侬遭受到极大的打击，他在之后的一年中几乎没有在进行音乐上的创作。
平心而论，专辑中的Woman Is the Nigger of the World和The Luck of the Irish还有New York City都是精品之作，值得一听。

The Stars Sing Lennon & McCartney [Music] Douban
Billy J. Kramer / Peter & Gordon … genre: Rock
release date 1970-01-01 publisher: mfp
What is that magic ingredient that makes a song a hit? One may well ask, but whatever the secret, John Lennon and Paul McCartney have most certainly discovered it!
This unique songwriting duo penned the first British recording for the Beatles, Love me do, the song which started the string of hits for these two writers，to say nothing of the start of the outstanding success story of the Beatles themselves.The pair were awarded ten of the hundred awards presented for the best songs in the U.S.A. in 1964，and became the top songwriters of the same year.
This record is-as the title suggests-stars singing the songs of Lennon/McCartney，stars who made them into smash hits.
