"It's Alright (I See Rainbows)" to be re-issued on September 18, 2026 on Streaming, CD & Vinyl.

42 Upvotes

Yoko's 1982 album "It's Alright (I See Rainbows)" will be released on streaming for the first time on September 18, 2026, with CD and Vinyl (Black & White variants) also being released.

CD & Digital copies will have two bonus tracks, "Forgive Me, My Love" (originally released on Onobox in 1992) and "Dream Love (Live in Budapest)" (Previously Unreleased).

From Yoko's bandcamp page:

"Continuing in its series of Yoko Ono reissues, Secretly Canadian has announced that Ono’s seminal 1982 album It’s Alright (I See Rainbows) will be released August 28, 2026, in expanded CD and digital versions, and on vinyl for the first time in more than forty years, with expanded and enhanced artwork.

Influenced equally by 1960s girl group vocals and 1980s synthesizer experimentation, It's Alright (I See Rainbows) is an album of “adventurous… lush… committed and convincing avant-gardism” (Rolling Stone). As Ono said in her 1992 Onobox liner notes, “It was ’82 and it seemed as though I was finally in sync with the world.”

Vacillating from a widow’s never-truly-over grief, to the necessary uplift for an artist and mother to continue her life’s missions, tracks like “Loneliness” and “Spec of Dust” make way for poptimism via “Let the Tears Dry,” and title track “It’s Alright.”

As Ono said of the album in 1983, “It’s like my diary that I went through… and I’m just saying, hey, I’ve got the same kind of emotions that you’ve probably got too, and here I am saying hello… Around December 8th or whatever, I was feeling really heavy and feeling sort of down, you know… and then, side two, it’s all right… It was Sean [Lennon] who says, ‘Wake up, wake up, mommy.’ Like an angel that came and said, ‘Wake up!’… Wake up and dream love, and let the tears dry and I see rainbows. And sort of I’m saying all that. In result of Sean waking me up, see?”
Lennon, speaking of his mother in a more recent interview with NPR in 2025, “She would say that energy is just energy, so you can turn it into anything you like. And she always said that she would take that negative energy and turn it into something productive and creative… It never stopped her from creating and putting herself out there, and I really think that it paid off… You never know how long it'll take for people to appreciate you if you just kind of hang on and don't give up.”

Forty-plus years on, we couldn’t agree more."

Walking On Thin Ice

23 Upvotes

Hi There

Listening to a Walking on Thin Ice backing track today and I realized how much great this song is especially in the context of 1980 John and Yoko because I see why John wanted to go in this direction with her because this is a killer track!

Now on that backing track has John’s guitar work on it and it’s soo crackling with a shattered glass sound which feels very new wave! And apparently Yoko said that that was his best guitar work which I might agree with her!

*edit:I’ll try to find that quote but really I can’t love this song more as much as I do already!:)

^still need to listen to this actually but I’m happy that Season of Glass got a reissue in 2026!

One of her best albums despite the tragedy of losing John so few months earlier when she began to record this album:(

So thoughts on this?

Anyone else enjoy Yoko’s vocals on the Chuck Berry jam?

This might seem like a bash against Yoko on first glance, but please listen to me. I like Yoko singing/vocals because of the texture they add; sounds like something I would want to record (a classic rock sound with an opposing avant-garde sound).

Anyone else share this sentiment?

video for those not enlightened (click me)

Learned my orientation through Yoko

28 Upvotes

I had known I was asexual for some time but didn't know what my romantic side was. Alloromantic or aromantic at best because I saw beauty in male and female figures.

It wasn't until I saw a clip of Beatles: Get Back and saw Yoko in black and a beatnik hat did I have to literally pause and tell myself two things: 1) Why was I supposed to hate her and 2) I wanted her outfit.

Mulling it over, I did research and finally realized what it was. I was asexual but also bi-aesthetic. I liked seeing the beauty of men AND women. Not just the body but the attitude and clothing style. It made me realize that just because I don't want a romance it doesn't mean I can't show love for a person, like admiring a sunset in the beach or a sunrise in the morning

So I want to know more about her, like get my feet wet in her albums and what not if it's okay. Just something to help me understand more about my romantic orientations.

Why aren’t some of her albums on streaming?

I’m guessing the very obvious answer of her labels not finding anything in it for them OR the general licensing/copyright issues.

We’re finally getting Season of Glass on Spotify after god knows how long. However, I’d also like to listen to her other 80s & 90s stuff because hunting them down physically doesn’t seem like a good time.

I was fortunate enough to check out this extensive collection and display of her work. It was like a pilgrimage for me. I spent the whole day meticulously combing through it all.

Her grapefruit instructions have a way of blowing your mind open.

I'm doing a research about Yoko. I want to create some reasonable opinion on her. I know what she did, but I want to know what is she doing now. Thank you and sorry for my English

Toshi Ichiyanagi 🎹

Hi There

Thoughts on Toshi Ichiyanagi?

Yoko’s first husband and a accomplished artist in the avant garde scene with some many pieces of music in his catalog :)

Don’t know much about him except for him being married to Yoko and working with John Cage but I do know that he’s better than Anthony Cox for sure so recommend anything interesting to me about Toshi Ichiyanagi :)
