Yoko Ono’s Season of Glass returns in an expanded edition marking 45 years since its original release. First issued in 1981, the album arrived just seven months after the murder of John Lennon and stands as one of Ono’s most direct and emotionally exposed works.
Backed by many of the musicians who appeared on Double Fantasy, Ono channels love, anger, fear and loss into songs that echo the stark emotional honesty of the Plastic Ono Band recordings. The album became Ono’s biggest commercial success at the time and has since come to be regarded as one of her defining statements.
Its original cover — featuring Lennon’s blood-stained glasses — caused controversy on release, but Ono refused to replace the image, insisting it reflected the reality she was living through. In the decades since, Season of Glass has grown in stature as a deeply personal and enduring work about grief and survival.
