Ying/Yang, Oriental/Occidental, Flotsam/Jetsam, Good/Evil--you get the point--one extreme or the other. John had been so cooped up in the proverbial 'Beatle bubble', that he took his leverage to do whatever he wanted, so why not thrash and lash out any way he pleased? Didn't make for much entertainment, I mean, if you are having a nice dinner or (God forbid) housework, none of the 3 albums makes for good soundtrack or even white noise (though that's literally what it is). I'm like most of you--listen to it once out of curiosity and put it in the collectible pile of yer memorabilia. I read somewhere that John considered these to be disposable, like newspapers, that you read once and then thrown away. The irony of this is that they charged a fairly hefty price for the time, and my Japanes imports (with virgin vinyl) were pretty expensive. Oh well, worth it for a Beatlegeek like me.
