Its cover artwork suggests a sequel to Double Fantasy – their respective photographs of John and Yoko look separated by mere moments (as indeed they were). Yet, for us, the albums are divided by the widest gulf we could possibly imagine – the death of John, which occurred in between.

Maybe for this reason, Milk And Honey has always seemed an orphan among John Lennon’s recordings. It was the first posthumous release of unheard material, appearing some three years after his death. His own contributions to the album were never signed off by John himself. Like Double Fantasy, the record is structured as a “Heart Play”, or dialogue, of his songs and Yoko’s. But he was not there to help her assemble that particular conversation. With one or two notable exceptions, he was not familiar with Yoko’s tracks, at least not in their finished form. And yet, Milk And Honey is a great John and Yoko record. It fully deserves its place in the tradition of Double Fantasy or their early avant-garde releases or any of the towering songs their names are jointly engraved upon.
