JOHN LENNON, WALLS AND BRIDGES

Description

Artist: John Lennon
Title: Walls and Bridges
Product: VINYL LP

Limited vinyl LP repressing of this album from the Rock icon. Walls and Bridges is the fifth studio album by John Lennon, written, recorded and released during his 18-month separation from Yoko Ono (June 1973-January 1975), the album captures Lennon in the midst of his ‘Lost Weekend’. This album was an American Billboard number one album and featured two hit singles ‘Whatever Gets You thru the Night’ and ‘#9 Dream’, the first of which was Lennon’s first number one hit in the United States as a solo artist. While John’s former songwriting partner Paul McCartney may have had a more commercial appeal after the Beatles split, Lennon’s work was a bit looser, edgier and laced with wit, wisdom and a dab of venom. Sometimes shambolic and often beautiful, John’s solo work took a separate journey than Paul’s but is just as riveting four decades later.
