The Plastic Ono Band was Yoko’s idea.
“As I was asked to do a show in Berlin before John and I got together, I wanted to use four plastic stands with tape recorders in each one of them, as my band. I told that story to John and he immediately coined the phrase Plastic Ono Band.
That was the beginning of the Plastic Ono Band. What John built with all sorts of plastic things that were laying around disappeared a long time ago” – Yoko
