John Lennon - Nobody Loves You When You're Down And Out

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.

What do you mean, "credited to John Lennon." Do you somehow doubt Lennon wrote it?

Many, many years ago, I was reading a Batman comic book. It was about a typical night in the life of Batman. After beating up some thug and leaving him for the local police to collect, Batman started to swing among the buildings of Gotham on his bat rope, and was singing this song.

@Monkofmagnesia it was written by jimmy cox in 1923
