a fairly candid Lennon discusses his lastest LP, Walls and Bridges, his 1st solo LP, his writing style and McCartney's solo writing, Van Gogh, his Dick Cavett appearance earlier and how he acts like "A Hard Days Lennon" on TV because of his immigration problems asking listeners to write their congressmen, his Lost Weekend and relationship with Yoko at the time

Thanks, that was a great interview and it doesn't seem I had it.

See if this sounds better: I took the left channel and compressed it. This removes the FM warble and noise and smooths out the levels, making for an easier listen:

Thank you. I know some of the DJ's that were at the legendary ZMF and they'll probably get a huge kick out of it!
