Milk And Honey

It was bought as a Christmas present.

Great album! It’s way ahead of its time. I don’t think Yoko Ono gets enough credit as a musician.

If this album had been combined with the previous Double Fantasy and they then dropped all the Yoko Ono tracks then it would have been a John Lennon classic to rival Imagine. It's not that Yoko's songs are bad, it's just that they are average, especially when alternating with John Lennon's songs. It gets four stars for the fact that half the songs (the Lennon one's) are excellent. Grow Old With Me was a potential classic in its own right but is included on the album in its demo version as, of course, Lennon died before ever recording it in the studio. What might have been. Well worth it for those, like me, who are Lennon fans and can tune out during Ono's inoffensive but plain contributions.

A Marmite album, you ether love it or hate it

very good

A very deep and emotional strong CD, representing some of the best songs by mr. John Lennon ever. If You like Lennons music You have to buy this piece of art!

Great addition to our vinyl collection, love the images captured and also the words to every track, a must for any John Lennon fan. Be aware if you order through Rarewaves their delivery takes longer due to Covid but worth the wait

This is the album John Lennon was working on when he was shot [on the night in question he was actually working on a Yoko track 'Walking On Thin Ice']. Like Double Fantasy this album is split between John tracks and Yoko tracks it is supposed to be a conversation in music, but it is a bit of a one sided conversation as Lennon is by far the stronger songwriter. My favourite tracks include the single 'Nobody Told Me', 'I'm Stepping Out' and 'I Don't Want To Face It'. Most of the Yoko tracks are listenable but nothing special, also although Paul McCartney is often accused of being the sentimental one of the Lennon and McCartney partnership tracks on this album and Double Fantasy show that Lennon was equally susceptible to sentimentality with songs such as '[forgive me] My Little Flower Princess' and to be honest Lennon is not as convincing as McCartney on these tracks he tends to sound cloying. What I like most about this album and why I prefer it to the original version of Double Fantasy [the re-issue of which contains the original mix and a much better remix] is that it is not blighted by Jack Douglas's production sheen it sounds more intimate although of course there is an unfinished quality to the sound particularly on the track 'Grow Old With Me'. So this is the last John Lennon album it shows Lennon regaining his confidence, unfortunately we would never find out where this new found confidence would take him, but as a flawed final statement it is a good one.

It's hard to imagine[No puns intended for two of John Lennon's previous song titles]what this album would've sounded like had John not been taken sooner from us, but raw and not quite so complete it rocked regardless. Most of the songs featured here have had the same musicians as the Double Fantasy album although some of Yoko Ono's songs have the musicians from her solo effort It's Alright. Two of the songs on this album[One each of John and Yoko]were cassette recordings based on Robert and Elizabeth Browning's poems-"Grow Old Besides Me" and "How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count The Ways". John's "Grow Old With Me" and Yoko's "Let Me Count The Ways" were to be held over at the very end of the sessions to be recorded with an orchestra and meant to be played at weddings. The version of "Grow Old With Me" featured on the John Lennon Anthology was meant to be the way it was intended[Probably for the Beatles Anthology project and not used]. However, the basic tracks of both Double Fantasy and Milk And Honey were recorded in late summer and early autumn of 1980 and the songs each responded as in scenes of a marriage with fear, reassurance, faith and hope. What's great about this album is John's much beloved wit and humor and ability to rock out with the greatest musicians assembled for both albums. My favorites are mainly John's "I'm Stepping Out", "I Don't Wanna Face It", "Nobody Told Me" and "(Living On)Borrowed Time" featuring the guitars of Hugh McCracken and Earl Slick and Tony Levin's bass lines. "(Forgive Me)My Little Flower Princess" has extra lyrics enclosed that we're never completed but had a reasonable tempo that flowed with it. Yoko's "Sleepless Nights" has that moderate shuffle to it, "Don't Be Scared" has the reassurance in words and time, "O'Sanity" is short and to the point. "Your Hands" has a bilingual meaning[English and Japanese]. "You're The One" sums up the relationship of John & Yoko despite the world's eye over the years. Whether you're a fan of John Lennon, Yoko Ono or both, this collection completes the puzzle and one shouldn't be without it.

Hélas, trois fois hélas ! Au moment de l'enregistrement du disque qui était lui-même la seconde partie du concept de deux albums, un événement tragique a interrompu cette idylle "Le lait et le Miel". Le Lait s'en est allé, laissant le miel mais nous a laissé tellement de chefs-d'oeuvres restés à jamais gravés dans nos mémoires… Irremplaçable !

If you loved Double Fantasy, you’ll really like this album too. It lacks the glossed finish of the 1980 classic but nevertheless a wonderful swan song album for the great man. Particular favourites are ‘Nobody Told Me’, ‘Borrowed Time’ and ‘I’m Stepping Out’. There’s no ‘Starting Over’, ‘Woman’ or ‘Watching The Wheels’’ here, but still a fitting final release from the legend himself. The 180gram vinyl remaster sounds amazing too, although I still have my 1984 original vinyl.

Kennt man die Geschichte um "Milk and Honey" alleine wird man schon dieses Werk lieben. Ein Vermächtnis von 2 Liebenden zueinander. Wer hätte sich je vorstellen können, dass aus dem zynischen John Lennon ein derart liebevoller Partner hätte werden können. Diese raue, wilde Seite wird auch im Film über John (Nowhere Boy) sichtbar. Durch Yoko Ono - ich mochte sie zuerst überhaupt nicht - kam seine andere, seine geniale Seite zum Vorschein. John und Yoko haben sich hier als "Liedertexte Schreiber" einen regelrechten Wettkampf geleistet. Siegr - tut mir leid John - Yoko. Die Performance ok, wenn man sich an Yoko's Stimme gewönnen kann. Tipp: mehrmals anhören, dann ist das ok. John's Lieder haben den Pfiff und die Unkompliziertheit der frühen Beatles, die für mich immer die besten Beatles waren. John wurde durch Yoko zum Visionär, Paul blieb immer Musiker (allerdings ein sehr guter).

Buena relación calidad precio
