Review by Lisa Porter

Slippin’ and Slidin’: A Raw Slice of Rock ‘n’ Roll Magic from John Lennon (1975) Alright, let’s talk about Slippin’ and Slidin’, the groovy little slice of rock heaven John Lennon dropped back in 1975. It’s short, punchy, and straight to the point—just how rock & roll should be. Released under Apple Records, this album might not be his most polished work, but it’s got that raw energy that makes you wanna crank up the volume and forget your troubles for a while. The whole thing revolves around one killer track (and its mono/stereo variations): “Slippin’ and Slidin’.” Yeah, just one song, technically, but trust me, it’s enough. Lennon didn’t write this tune—it was originally by Little Richard, with credits going to Penniman, Bocage, Collins, and Smith—but he sure made it his own. He took the original wild energy of Little Richard’s version and gave it a grittier, almost rough-around-the-edges vibe. You can tell Lennon wasn’t trying to outdo the legend here; instead, he paid homage while stamping his personality all over it. Listening to the stereo version feels like stepping into a time machine. The guitars are sharp, the drums hit hard, and Lennon’s voice has this unpolished charm that screams authenticity. Like, yeah, maybe it’s not perfect, but who cares? That’s what makes it stick in your head. I remember blasting this track on a road trip once, windows down, wind messing up my hair, and thinking, “Man, this is LIFE.” Then there’s the mono version, which is basically the same song but somehow… tighter? More intimate? It’s like hearing the same story told by a slightly different storyteller. Both versions have their charm, though. If you’re someone who digs diving into the nuances of sound, switching between these two will give you something fun to nerd out about. What’s cool is how Lennon wore so many hats here—he produced, arranged, and performed the track, giving it a cohesive feel. It’s clear he wasn’t phoning it in. He put care into every detail, even if the end result seems simple at first glance. And honestly, isn’t that what great music’s all about? Not overthinking it, just letting it breathe and do its thing. Reflecting on Slippin’ and Slidin’, I’m reminded of how sometimes less really is more. This tiny album packs a big punch, proving that you don’t need a dozen tracks to leave an impression. Plus, it’s kinda funny when you think about it—a Beatle releasing a single-song project in the mid-’70s. Feels like Lennon was just messing around, having fun, and daring us to join him. So go ahead, give it a spin. Whether you’re a die-hard Lennon fan or just someone looking for some good old-fashioned rock & roll vibes, this one’s worth your time. Oh, and hey—if anyone asks why you’re playing the same song twice, just tell ‘em you’re living life in stereo and mono. They’ll get it… eventually.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: John Lennon's *Slippin’ and Slidin’* album is actually a reissue of one of his earlier works. Released in 1975 by Apple Records, it features just two tracks—both versions of the same song, one in mono and the other in stereo. The track itself is a rock 'n' roll classic, originally composed by Penniman, Bocage, Collins, and Smith. Lennon didn’t just sing it; he also produced and arranged the whole thing. It’s like he took a piece of rock history and gave it his own personal touch. Neat, right?
