‘Mother’ was the first single to be released from John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, John’s first solo album. It was released in the USA on 11th December 1970.

The B-Side is ‘Why’ from Yoko’s album Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band

‘People will not like Mother; it hurts them. Everybody reacted exactly the same. They think, “fuck!” That’s how everybody is. And the second time, they start saying, “Oh, well, there’s a little…” so I can’t lay ‘Mother’ on them.’

– John Lennon, 1970
