John Lennon - Going Down On Love

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.

On the 23rd August 1974 at 9 o'clock I saw a U.F.O. - J.L.

Tema que abre el lp."Que alguien me ayude,sabes que me esstoy ahogando en un mar de odio"? Veo con sorpresa que nadie a pulsado el boton de no me gusta. Ya caera algun imbecil. Estos temas de Walls and bridges merecian que venga la letra. Ninguna tiene desperdicio.
