John Lennon: Sometime In New York City (Apple); Elephant's Memory: Elephant's Memory (Apple)
Dave Marsh, Creem, August 1972
I'M LISTENING TO a tape of The New John and Yoko lp. If you thought, as I did, that Sometime in New York City was going to be a complete disaster, cheer up. It's not half bad. It may be 49.9% bad, but not half.
