    This UK first pressing sounds much clearer - though still under the dictatorship of that ridiculous "Wall Of Sound" - than the latest 180 gram reissue or the Crapitol pressings. Since it's not a much appreciated album, there are a lot of cheap copies around for the picking. Lyrically and production wise it may still not be your favorite Lennon album, but it's worth having it in your collection for historical purpose and completion. And if you give it a listen without judgement on the politics, you will probably end up enjoying it, including the Yoko tracks, which are not bad at all. I am referring to Record #1. The second one is still trash.

      I have Live Jam PCS 7162 in what looks like a promo sleeve. Does anyone know if it’s just half of the standard release?

        Any info on the black inner sleeve with the Army recruitment advert filled in by John Lennon and stamped FIT TO DIE

          It is PCS 7161, NOT PCSP 716 ! Look at the photos of the center labels of the LPs !

            Jamrag is actually King Kong by Frank Zappa.. For some reason, Lennon and Ono credited the song to them selves, but Zappa wrote it of course. He was not to happy about it, but he let it slide.
