John Lennon’s single ‘#9 Dream’ was released in the UK on 31 January 1975.
The b-side was ‘What You Got’. Both songs had previously appeared on the Walls And Bridges album, which was released on 4 October 1974 in the UK.
#9 Dream was the second single to be issued from Walls And Bridges, following the surprise success of ‘Whatever Gets You Thru The Night’.
That was a bit of a throwaway. It was based on some dream I had.
