| | Bagism: Albums & Singles: Reviews: Unfinished Music No. 1 - Two Virgins |
 | | The Two Virgins album was John's first artistic expression with Yoko and clearly was released tongue in cheek mostly as a way to test the waters with the record business to see what they could get away with. | | | Two Virgins was reportedly recorded in one night when John and Yoko were tripping and fooling around with the tape machines in his home studio. | | | This difference causes a rift to be created between the two tracks, and that is the principle drawback of the album. |

| | Amazon.ca: Music: No. 1 Unfinished Music: Two Vi |
| | Less than 30 minutes long, the whole of "Two Virgins" is a few scant minutes longer than the first track on "Life With the Lions," "Cambridge 1969." Playing records and sound effects to back up their "insanity," you hear birds chirping (or SOME kind of whistling) through most of the first track. | | | It's as unlike The Beatles as is humanly possible--this was, of course, partly the point--taking the random sound collage of the White Album's "Revolution 9" and stretching the principle to a whole album of white noise, tape effects, discord and screaming. | | | Decades later, Two Virgins is still best known for bearing the most notorious album cover in rock history: John and Yoko naked and unashamed in their filthy boudoir, staring out the camera with glassy heroin eyes. |

| | John Lennon, 1968-present |
| | This album lacks two of the songs found on Roots, but because it was not made from a demo tape, the entire album has much better sound quality. | | | Milk and Honey was the second of two albums that the Lennons had been working on in 1980. | | | Two Virgins was a failure for John commercially (#56 on Record World chart), but he considered it a success artistically. |

| | One, the built-in audience of bands with a conservative average of 3 members is 120, which speaks nothing of the sizable numbers of fans there to see the bands or drinkers there to ignore the bands. | | | Two, with a conservative average of 10 minutes per band, the night takes at least 6 and a half hours. | | | A question of trade-offs: two songs for a lot of people versus a lot of songs for two people. |

| | Yoko Ono |
| | It's easy to picture Ono listening to Two Virgins, remembering the night it was recorded and longing for her slain husband. | | | Although the reissue includes a few rare B-sides (which weren't on the original version), it hardly makes up for the self-involvement of the rest of the album. | | | The Wedding Album's first track, "John and Yoko," is little more than John and Yoko cooing each other's names for 22 minutes. |

| | UNFINISHED MUSIC NO. 2: LIFE WITH THE LIONS |
| | Two Virgins was easily dismissed as folk art, a single concept (What is music?) not so much explored as stretched out in an interminable question. | | | The Rykodisc reissue includes two bonus tracks: “Song for John” (think of it as Yoko’s take on Lennon’s “Julia”) and “Mulberry,” a nine-minute piece that features Yoko’s interpretive vocal wails and John’s guitar tunings (a la “Wild Honey Pie”). | | | Although this is a live recording, and it’s unlikely the pair was working from sheet music, it’s clear that they went into this performance with a good idea of the type of sounds they were going to make. |

| | With two studio albums in as many years, it is hard to believe that the band had been on an enforced hiatus for seven years, thanks to a contractual dispute with erstwhile label, Virgin. | | | The next two albums, "Mummer" and "The Big Express" were commercial duds and their relationships with their managers and their label led to legal suits and acrimonious splits. | | | Rather fortuitously, the band with producer John Leckie (who produced their first two albums) recorded a 5-track EP called "25 O'Clock" under the name "The Dukes Of Stratosphear," parodying, as well as paying homage to the psychedelic era of 1967. |

| | Jung Talk - two virgins.... |
| | the misleading topic title was a word game with an album title from john lennon, just set to draw attention on the fact of virginality - and the unusual they have in common is the claimed virginal birth, otherwise the theme would include much more "personallities". | | | athena is a woman born virginal by a man (zeus), incorporating the best masculine qualities, as jesus is a man born virginal by a woman impersoning the best female qualities. | | | Although the "virginal" origin of Athena is dubious (Zeus was not a virgin, he actually ate Athena's mother, didn't he?), I can still see what you're aiming at. |
