Description

Walls & Bridges with unique sketches by Lennon, presented to the children of his session guitarist

Walls & Bridges album signed and inscribed on the front cover in black felt tip, "To Christine and Edward, with love from your Dad's pal, John Lennon, '76," with great additions of a classic self-portrait doodle and sketches of a sheep chasing a pig. In very good to fine condition, with some creasing, old tape stains, a discount hole, and full separation to the top edge. The record is not included. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo, in part: "This cover, with promo hole in the upper right hand corner, was signed for the son and daughter of a session man named Ed Motto [sic, Mottau] who played on the album. The addition of the extra sentiments and drawings for the musician's children on this LP cover makes this an extremely desirable John Lennon signed item." Mottau played guitar on Lennon's albums Walls and Bridges (1974) and Rock 'n' Roll (1975), making this an excellent association piece with rare sketches by the legendary musician.
