YOKO ONO-"MOVE ON FAST" (1972)

Yoko predating Punk! Yoko, like many greats, has a killer double album from 1972 called "Approximately Infinite Universe". Everyone pegged her as a banshee making noise rock. Here, she seemed determined to personify the title by trying a raft of styles; haunting piano ballads, funky vamps, lilting pop, and tough rockers. Backed by Elephant's Memory, she sprints through this song with fists flailing. Its energy, shouting stride, and shreiking sax foretell X-Ray Spex six years early. The "AIU" CD is her "Blonde On Blonde" or "White Album". Made in '72, it foreshadows the Tom Tom Club, Tori Amos, Cibo Matto, Bikini Kill, and more. Well worth it!
