Milk And Honey (180 Gram Vinyl) [Vinyl]

Released four years after John 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," the poignant 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.
