it was released in 1971. So maybe this is a repost?

Together with "John Lennon Plastic Ono Band" this was a breakthrough in honesty, and self-confessional in the way Life Studies by Robert Lowell, Kaddish by Allen Ginsberg, and Ariel by Sylvia Plath were breakthroughs.

Grateful to them all for their courage in putting so much on the line.

Thanks for posting.
