More info:

The album was recorded around the same time as Lennon's Imagine. Ono had to re-record her vocals on "Open Your Box", on 4 March 1971 at Abbey Road Studios, after a managing director of EMI called the lyrics "distasteful"; The song featured a line that went "Open your trousers, open your skirt, open your legs and open your thighs". "trousers", "skirt", "legs" and "thighs" were changed to "houses", "church", "lakes", and "eyes". Lennon and Ono didn't complain about the change of words, and only "wanted to get the record out", as a spokesman said.

"Will You Touch Me" was first recorded during the Fly sessions sometime in November 1971, later ending up on 1981's Season of Glass. The original version ended up on the Rykodisc reissue of Fly in 1998.
