"Instant Karma!" was recorded for and is John Lennon's third solo single on Apple Records. The song is one of three Lennon solo songs, along with "Imagine" and "Give Peace a Chance", in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It ranks as one of the fastest-released songs in pop music history, recorded (at London's Abbey Road Studios) the same day it was written, and coming out only ten days later. Lennon remarked to the press, he "wrote it for breakfast, recorded it for lunch, and we're putting it out for dinner." The song was produced by music producer Phil Spector, the first of many solo recordings by The Beatles that Spector worked on through 1970; Lennon may have been trying out Spector for work on the then-dormant Let It Be / Get Back project, which Spector would controversially rework for release that May.
it's cool how Yoko is in on stage just nonchalantly knitting away, while the music is playing. It also shows how fucking cool John was that Yoko could be taking a crap on stag and he's OK with it; just so long as they're together. Some artists are so overly concerned with onstage appearances and have to have thing so "sanitized" that it just takes the joy out of the music. It's great to see such raw life performances, although this appears to be just a rehersal.
