John's ninth solo album release.

Credited to John Lennon

Produced and arranged by John Lennon

with the Plastic Ono Nuclear Band/Little Big Horns/and the Philharmanic Orchestrange.

The 44th Street Fairies, are :

May Pang, Lori Burton, Joey Dambra and me.

Little Big Horns, are :

Bobby Keys, Steve Madaio, Howard Johnson, Ron Aprea, Frank Vicari.

Recorded at The Record Plant, New York from 17th June thru July 1974, except "Nobody Loves You" which was recorded in Los Angeles. Alternative versions of several of these tracks will later appear on "Menlove Avenue" in 1986.

Also recorded during these sessions is :

"Goodnight Vienna" a demo, written especially for, and given to Ringo.

"Only You" - a demo, also given to Ringo.

"Move Over Mrs. L." - a track originally written for Keith Moon.

The splendidly original cover designed by Roy Kohara, is divided into three equal parts with two fold-out sections to create different covers ! ... You can see all the combinations above.

The photographs are taken by Bob Gruen. The Inner sleeve has a similar style sepia-toned picture cover, also shown above.

Plus, there is a terrific 8-page booklet (L.P. sized !) which not only includes the song lyrics and musician information, it also has some great pictures OF John, and five paintings BY John drawn in 1952 when he was only a boy. Also on the back of the booklet, is an examination of the origins of the Lennon name, which is taken from "IRISH FAMILIES, THEIR NAMES, ARMS AND ORIGINS" by Edward Maclysaght.

The whole production is very light-hearted and John is clearly in a jovial and happy mood throughout.

The record label is the standard green Apple.

"Possession is nine-tenths of the problem" - Dr. Winston O'Boogie.

Was it released during the so called " Lost Weekend?" Wow, it seems that lost week end was very fertile. Not so lost at all. Love it. I heard Let me roll it was a kind of tribute to him, or his sound. The riff inclusion would be something like: ' I got the gift and I am using it. Thank you." They used to talk through songs, you know. Not only to fight but also to send messages. So I heard.

Back in the late 80's there was a weekly radio series called "The Lost Lennon Tapes". Anyway, "Beef Jerky" was the opening theme to the program.

He leido a un crítico decir que es un tema de relleno, pero no se que pensar. A Lennon le gustó siempre experimentar y probar cosas.Parece música para un telefilme.

The folk lore is John asked Paul to show him the "Let Me Roll It" riff. These two really did love one another.
