Description
John Lennon US Reissue LP Walls and bridges EX '78 Purple Capitol SW3416 Beatles
US Reissue LP released in 1978 on the Purple/silver Capitol Records label. Cat: SW3416.
Walls and Bridges was recorded during John Lennon's infamous "lost weekend," as he exiled himself in California during a separation from Yoko Ono. Lennon's personal life was scattered, so it isn't surprising that Walls and Bridges is a mess itself, containing equal amounts of brilliance and nonsense. Falling between the two extremes was the bouncy Elton John duet "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night," which was Lennon's first solo number one hit. Its bright, sunny surface was replicated throughout the record, particularly on middling rockers like "What You Got" but also on enjoyable pop songs like "Old Dirt Road." However, the best moments on Walls and Bridges come when Lennon is more open with his emotions, like on "Going Down on Love," "Steel and Glass," and the beautiful, soaring "No. 9 Dream."
Tracks : Going down on love/ Whatever gets you thru the night/ Old dirt road/ What you got/ Bless you/ Scared/ #9 dream/ Surprise, surprise (sweet bird of paradox)/ Steel and glass/ Beef jerky/ Nobody loves you (when you're down and out)/ Ya ya.
