Yoko Ono – “Mrs. Lennon” / “Midsummer New York” French single cover
French sleeve for Yoko Ono’s first single from her second studio album Fly, released in 1971 by Pathé Marconi Records under license from Apple Records.
Written and sung by Ono, the A-side was recorded with John Lennon on piano and organ and Klaus Voormann on acoustic guitar and bass.
From Wikipedia:
Ono biographers Nell Beram and Carolyn Boriss-Krimsky described the song’s theme as the way the public defined Ono solely as ex-Beatle John Lennon’s wife and did not recognize her as an artist in her own right. Beram and Boriss-Krimsky felt that the lack of promotion her records including Fly received was a reflection of this theme, since her record company did not believe that the public would be interested in Ono’s solo work Ben Urish and Ken Bielen described the song’s theme similarly, stating that it is an “ironic ballad” that it sounds like a love song, but the lyrics describe Ono’s anxiety about losing her identity.
Premier Lightline is a Letraset original, and the first typeface to be released in their Letragraphica range. Smoke and Churchward Marianna were available in France from Hollenstein at the time, see them listed in a 1971 catalog.
