What Paul McCartney really thinks of John Lennon, Yoko Ono’s debut album

Paul McCartney wasn’t the biggest fan of John Lennon debut album with his wife, Yoko Ono.

John and Yoko released their debut album as a couple in 1968, entitled Two Virgins, which received severe backlash for its “explicit cover” featuring the pair posing completely in the nude.

“The Two Virgins record itself I didn’t find that interesting,” Paul said in the '90s documentary The Beatles Anthology, denying John’s claims that the cover art disturbed Paul.

“The music wasn’t shocking to me because I’d made a lot like that myself,” he continued.

In fact, Paul took credit for the album and claimed that he inspired John to pursue it.

“I think John may have got some ideas from when I had a couple of Brennell tape recorders. I used to bounce sounds between them and multi-track to make crazy tapes for friends late at night. It was just ambient music,” Paul said at the time.

He continued, “John asked me how I did it, so I showed him how to plug the machines up. John got two at his house in Weybridge, with exactly the same set-up, and I showed him how to use it all.”

Paul’s words weren’t surprising, considering the former Beatles bandmates’ relationship turned brutally sour following their breakup.

In fact, John himself had taken quite a few jabs at Paul’s post-Beatles solo career.
