Greg Sams to whom this album is inscribed, with his brother opened and ran London's first macrobiotic restaurant SEED in Bishop's Bridge Road, Paddington, London in 1967. Sams, met Lennon through Yoko whom he'd known for some time. The couple ate at SEED regularly and were devotees of Greg's food. When Yoko and John stayed in Queen Charlotte's hospital following her miscarriage in November, 1968, Sams used to deliver food from his restaurant to them daily. Also at Yoko's request, Sams drove around London finding vegetarian blood donors with compatible blood for the transfusion she needed at the time.
