John Lennon – Walls and Bridges "ALTERNATES" Edition (2CD + 1DVD)
Ultimate Collector’s Edition from SGT. Label – Alternate Album, Rehearsals & Rare Footage
The 1974 classic Walls and Bridges returns in a stunning new light with this ultimate collector’s edition from the SGT. label, titled "ALTERNATES" — a comprehensive 2CD + 1DVD set featuring alternate mixes, studio rehearsals, and rare video material, including Lennon’s legendary 1974 collaboration with Elton John.
🎵 CD 1 – Alternate Album & Live with Elton John (Remixed + Remastered)
-
Entire Walls and Bridges album presented in a brand-new stereo remix sourced from original 4-channel multi-tracks.
-
Not just different in channel separation — these are entirely different mixes: variations in vocals, instrumental balance, even take selection and song length, making it a true alternate album experience.
-
Includes the full Live at Madison Square Garden 1974 performance with Elton John in a remixed version (not the one released officially), delivering enhanced separation, clarity, and presence.
-
Bonus content includes promo single versions and vintage radio spots.
🎵 CD 2 – Studio Rehearsals & Rare Mixes
-
Features raw, pre-overdub rehearsal takes — stripped-down versions that offer a more intimate and unpolished look at Lennon’s recording process.
-
Despite being rehearsals, the quality and performance are strong, making this disc feel like a second alternate album.
-
Also includes select alternate mixes originally featured on the Menlove Ave. compilation.
📀 DVD – Walls and Bridges: Video Collection
-
Includes multiple versions of the promo videos for Whatever Gets You Thru the Night and #9 Dream.
-
Contains film outtakes and interview footage, plus high-quality material that surpasses what’s previously circulated online.
-
Features two video edits of the historic Elton John live appearance, using existing Elton-side footage, edited to best recreate the moment.
-
Additional content includes Lennon’s Grammy presenter clip and other rare appearances, all presented in the highest quality available to date.
This is a first-pressing import set and a true collector’s dream, offering a deep archival dive into one of John Lennon’s most iconic solo albums.
Whether you’re drawn by the alternate mixes, the raw rehearsal sound, or the rare visual content, "ALTERNATES" delivers a comprehensive, high-quality, and historically rich experience.
