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

John Lennon used nonsense lyrics occasionally in his songs even during his Beatle years. It's a common songwriting technique to fill blank spaces with nonsense while working on lyrics until you figure out what you really want to use. You've probably heard the story of how Paul McCartney used "scrambled eggs" as lyrics before he decided to go with "Yesterday." I once filled a blank line in my lyrics with "chimichanga, Montreal, California." Didn't mean a thing. I don't think this does either.

I realize it's intended to be a soccer ball. And I realize that to John that would make it a football. I did not know that about those particular songs - that is pretty cool. But the fact remains that I have never seen a soccer/football look that convincingly like a basketball.

Its a Soccer Ball. They call Soccer FOOTBALL in England. Queen's We will rock you and we are the Champions were about Soccer.

Apparently it doesn't mean anything, John Lennon came up with it, but musicians come up with weird words to put into their songs...this is one of them.
