For fans of: Plastic Ono Band, art rock, and experimental pop.
Season of Glass is one of Yoko Ono's most direct and emotionally intense albums, balancing art-rock experimentation with sharply focused songwriting.
To mark the 45th anniversary of its release, Secretly Canadian release Ono’s seminal 1981 album Season of Glass, as an expanded CD, and on vinyl for the first time in more than forty-five years, with expanded and enhanced artwork. Hit single “Walking on Thin Ice” is now available to stream everywhere for the first time.
One of Pitchfork’s Top 200 albums of the 1980s, Season of Glass was released in June 1981, just seven months after the senseless murder of Ono’s husband and creative partner, John Lennon. Full of songs about love, loss, anger and fear, the album reflected Ono’s experience in stark detail, creating almost a companion piece to Ono and Lennon’s 1970 Plastic Ono Band “primal scream” albums.

“Season of Glass was really just being me, I suppose,” Ono told Newsweek in 1982. “Sort of, it was like a primal scream in a way; you know, something happened in my life, and I just had to say it. And I think it was therapeutic for me more than anything else. And I was pretty honest, I suppose.”
The album’s cover was a photograph of Lennon’s blood-soaked glasses, just as they were returned to Ono from Roosevelt Hospital after his murder. Though David Geffen, the head of Geffen Records, who had released Ono and Lennon’s Double Fantasy in November 1980, and released the original version of Season of Glass, implored Ono to change the cover, Ono stood her ground.
