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.

It's hard to emulate, the light and shade.

John was a friend of friends! And love and friendship was his focus. Great life to live.

Traurige Wahrheit, von John Lennon gut wahrgenommen. Jung, gesund, fröhlich und schön kann aber auch in die Leere führen.

John's 9TH solo album?? Forget the tripe he did with Yoko (wedding Album/Life with the Lions, etc. - this would be his 5th solo album in my mind, with the idea we could also forget "Sometime in New York City", in wich case this would only be his 4th solo album, but I digress.

As a musician, I give credit to the songwriter so as not to commit plagerism. However, if I steal ideas from another and make things my own I am committing no crime. We all do it. Ask any musician. Feel free if someone wants one of my songs.

It's not with the same name, the blues song was Nobody KNOWS You When You're Down and Out.

An underrated, under-the-radar John Lennon beauty... Perfect production, perfect arrangements. It's better without Spector in the mix. Lennon got it just right without him... He & McCartney solo still revealed great genius & distinction. Get this LP just for this song!!!

Nothing Is Real

This actually is a Lennon original, but inspired partially by Jimmy Cox's "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out"
