Description
JOHN LENNON "MENLOVE AVE"
ORIGINAL 1986 UK RELEASE.
"MENLOVE AVE" WAS A POSTHUMOUSLY RELEASE ISSUED IN 1986 UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF YOKO ONO. THE ALBUM ITSELF COMPRISES OF SESSION OUTAKES FROM THE "ROCK N ROLL" ALBUM WITH PHIL SPECTOR IN 1973 AND REHERSAL RECORDINGS FOR THE "WALLS AND BRIDGES" ALBUM IN 1974.
251 MENLOVE AVENUE OR "MENDIPS" AS WE SCOUSERS REFER IT WAS THE CHILDHOOD HOME OF JOHN LENNON. JOHN LIVED THERE FOR 18 YEARS UP TO 1963. MENLOVE AVE IS SITUATED IN THE SOUTH END OF THE CITY, IN FACT LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY LIVERPOOL HOME AT THAT TIME.
DESPITE OWNING PAUL MCCARTNEY'S LIVERPOOL HOME, 20 FORTHLIN ROAD, THE NATIONAL TRUST SHOWED VERY LITTLE INTEREST IN ALSO BUYING LENNONS LIVERPOOL HOME SO IN THE END YOKO STEPPED IN AND BOUGHT "MENDIPS" AND THEN DONATED TO THE NATIONAL TRUST AND AFTER SOME RESTORATION WORK THE HOUSE WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON MARCH 27TH 2003.
THE ALBUM "MENLOVE AVE" FEATURES ARTWORK BY ANDY WARHOL WHICH HE CREATED JUST MONTHS BEFORE HIS DEATH.
THE ALBUM FAILED TO CHART IN THE U.K MAKING IT LENNONS LEAST SUCCESSFUL ALBUM RELEASE AND NOW ORIGINAL UK ISSUES OF THIS ALBUM ARE BECOMMING HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND.
