Walls And Bridges

1974 John Lennon Walls and Bridges single LP on Apple Records, catalog SW-3416, presented here as a sealed 33 1/3 RPM vinyl record produced by Lennon. The copy remains in shrink wrap, so the specific pressing and matrix details cannot be verified and it is not described as a first pressing.

The front jacket carries the album’s distinctive illustrated design: a pale field of childlike figures and sketchwork, with the handwritten notation “John Lennon June 1952. Age 11” across the top and the title Walls and Bridges in red script. The back cover shifts to a close portrait of Lennon behind layered round lenses, with the track list printed at the upper left and right, including “Whatever Gets You Thru the Night,” “#9 Dream,” “Steel and Glass,” “Beef Jerky,” and “Nobody Loves You (When You’re Down and Out).”

Condition is recorded as Mint/Near Mint for both the outer sleeve and the record, with the important caveat that the sealed vinyl has not been visually inspected. The shrink shows light crinkling and edge tension in the photos while preserving the sleeve graphics, Apple Records imprint, and SW-3416 catalog identification. A clean, collectible sealed copy of Lennon’s 1974 Apple Records album, balancing intimate artwork with the polished presentation of a mid-1970s solo release.
