Product Description
Product Description
Brand new 2010 digital remaster of the classic John Lennon album. Released four years after Lennon's murder in 1980, this collection of previously unreleased recordings includes the artist's finished songs and demos, as well as contributions from Yoko Ono that reveal her growing confidence in the studio. It's a sign of the quality and amount of the couple's output that there's little, if any disposable material here.
Highlights include Lennon's wide-eyed "Nobody Told Me", thepoignant lilt of "Borrowed Time", and Yoko's endearing reggae lullaby, "Don't Be Scared". A brief but poignant interview with the couple, recorded mere hours before Lennon was shot, makes a sobering coda.

When I got this album I expected the songs to be poor quality rejects from the Double Fantasy sessions, but my my, I was in for a surprise.
Right from the start of the album there is a great feel in every song. My favourite Lennon song on this album is "I'm Stepping Out" because it just somes up a huge part of his life at that time (and I find the tune reeealy catcky). My favourite Ono song has to be "Don't be scared". I know lots of people easily criticise Yoko Ono for her avant garde style of singing, but I don't see anything wrong with her voice. This song is a real lifter, and to have written it shortly after your husband has been shot must have been really hard. The interview at the end, as another reviewer said, really does leave a "lump in your throught" at many points. It is so ironic.
For any true John/Yoko fan, this album is a must!

The remastering on this CD is full of distortion - caused by limiting too hard. It's a wonderful album but I'm really disappointed that this has been mastered so hot - ruining dynamics and squashing the life out of it. When will they stop thinking this is better?

We had to wait four long years for the follow-up to John and Yoko's fabulous 'Double Fantasy' Album (which from here on will be referred to simply as 'DF') which was 'Milk And Honey' - thanks to Yoko, finally being released in 1984.
On this, (original release) there are thirteen Tracks - one less than DF. On the previous Album, Yoko had had one extra Song - having eight of the fourteen - here it is Lennon who gets the extra Track, being seven of thirteen.
There are two Masterpieces from Yoko here with 'O' Sanity' (which is so profound - and how I love Yoko to be) and 'Let Me Count The Ways'. Lennon's best has to be 'I'm Stepping Out' - followed closely by the final Track on the Album: 'Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him'.
It is surprising to note that out of all the Singles released for Lennon from this collection, only 'Nobody Told Me' - though a great Song, managed to chart well. It was staggering to see that the best two Songs (the aforementioned) from him did not make much impact - odd... It had been a similar story with the material released from DF, and with what had happened to 'Watchin' The Wheels' - only difference being of course, that both 'Starting Over' and 'Woman' were two great Songs and had deserved their high chart placings. 'Watchin' The Wheels' barely made the Top 40 back in 1981...
This re-issue also includes some great photos of 'The Lennons' - and what I believe the most handsome one of John ever seen on page four of the Inlay, pictured with Yoko in the white shirt (I did not always find Lennon that attractive in some shots) This CD re-issue also has two Bonus Tracks - along with what would be Lennon and Yoko's last Interview together....

John wasn't finished with us, not by a long shot, but a certain someone made that choice for him. This album was like a vol.2 of "Double Fantasy". But for Lennon fans both albums has one major flaw: YOKO. Her songs on the albums aren't the worst thing she's ever done, but coulden't they have made an album each, so you could seperate it, and just listen to John or Yoko. As for this album, I'll be concentrating on John only. 1."I'm Stepping Out" is a great rocker. It would have been an ekstra bonus if it had been the complete take with the second verse "called up the doctor...". That song is also represented by a home demo. 3."I don't wanna face it" is just as catchy. 5."Nobody Told Me" was a major hit at the time this album was first released in '84. 7."Borrowed Time" is a great reggae-like track.
9."(Forgive Me) My Little Flower Princes" sounds a bit unfinished, but I woulden't have missed it for the world. 11."Grow Old With Me" the classic that never were. If only John had gotten the chance to make a studio recording of this fantastic song. The sound on this demo has been improved since the original release. Then we have the '84 mix of Yoko's "Every Man Has A Woman..."
with (almost) only John's vocals on it. Finally we get a 22 min. segment of his very last interview. I don't know about you but when he, just 5 hours before his death says "I always considered my work one piece, that won't be finished until I'm dead and buired, and I hope that's a long long time.." I get a lump in the throat!. So much more to give.

This album is fantastic - both John AND Yoko's (with the odd slip-ups here and there) are some of the best songs in their career. Yoko's tracks especially have moved on and become more mainstream after the dissolution of the Plastic Ono Band. It's easy to say, with her past that her songs arn't good - but they really are beautiful and personally, many sound like the "Let's Dance" LP by David Bowie to me!
"I'm Stepping Out" is a funky, slightly moving story of John as a bored housewife in the Dakota, "Sleepless Night" is a brilliant Yoko track that's very catchy and has a great funk melody to it, "I Don't Wanna Face It" is an up-beat distortion-guitar fast track from John that really is a gem of this album, "Don't Be Scared" is a Yoko track of a little less quality than her others on the album, but very 1984 and sweet for the open ear! "Nobody Told Me" is a fast, jumpy John track and probably the best on the album - all about how the world had changed so dramatically around the 40-year old man! "O'Sanity" is a nice, slow and short little number by Yoko - little structure, but beautiful melody in Yoko's questioning of her sanity, "Borrowed Time" is an attempt by John at reggae after listening to Bob Marley tapes in Bermuda and is another standout track on the album! "Your Hands" is a lovely Yoko song combining Japanese with English - a great song, but could've been a little shorter, "(Forgive Me) My Little Flower Princess" is really quite a bad one from John (the Yoko tracks are better!) and I think that if John had been alive to make this album properly it would have been replaced with a newer song....
