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.

On the 23rd August 1974 at 9 o'clock I saw a U.F.O. - J.L.

The one album he made without Yoko's shadow looming over him - and see what quality. One wonders...

Classic John Lennon! He used the 'going down on love' melody over minor chords approach a lot in early Beatles tracks such 'No Reply' 'I call yr name' 'hard days nite'!

Lennon became obsessed with communicating a kind of conceptual clarity or rhetorical "truth", frustrated with the superficiality of politics and lack of progress with the counter-cultural movements he backed. He believed in connecting with an audience by conveying a simple message, supported by a similarly stripped down musical structure - usually with ample repetition. Think "give me some truth." The politics of this never stuck, but he maintained the approach to write about him and Yoko.

You should check out Paul's song "Jenny Wren", if you haven't heard it. It's like Blackbird's cousin. :)

I don't know, why didn't Christ ever walk on water again?

Oh, he just simply never ended up using that sound again. Just like Paul never made anything quite like Yesterday or Blackbird again.

But he created it! I'm not referring to orchestration, but to bold harmonic changes like in Strawberry Fields

He wasn't too fond of that period in the Beatles career. I guess that sound just didn't grow on him.

Why did Lennon give up on harmonical richness and boldness that is characteristic of Beatles middle years? Did he get bored of that? Or did drugs and recovery leave him empty? I wonder...

Tema que abre el lp."Que alguien me ayude,sabes que me esstoy ahogando en un mar de odio"? Veo con sorpresa que nadie a pulsado el boton de no me gusta. Ya caera algun imbecil. Estos temas de Walls and bridges merecian que venga la letra. Ninguna tiene desperdicio.
