Lennon DJs on NYC Radio 1974 (1/4)

Lennon engages in "my second favorite occupation" on WNEW-FM as "Doctor Winston O' Boogie" sits in with DJ Dennis Elsas on September 28, 1974 to discuss the new "Walls and Bridges" album, its artwork, past LPs and album covers, and how releases from VeeJay Records and Capitol Records differed from Beatles UK LPs.

Lennon spins Bobby Parker's "Watch Your Step" and follows it with "Day Tripper" revealing the nick. Talks about the "Yesterday and Today" photo session and two album covers. Criticizes re-mixes of monaural recordings turned into stereo, as they were on the "Red" and "Blue" Beatles compilation albums released in 1973.

"Lennon stayed for several hours, talking about the album, playing disc jockey and reading spots... Lennon was a great sport and he brought some great records with him." --WNEW

@psu68born Good radio back then. I got the audio on a two-disc CDR from a seller on eBay a few years ago. One of the most revealing, and fun, sessions with post-Beatles Lennon I'd heard. I had to share it with the Internet. Interesting comment. Thanks.

Isn't it great to hear John talking without Yoko alway's butting in.
