For The Other Half Of The Sky

Barrier BAR 010/11

The middle volume of a six-CD set chronicling the Double Fantasy and Milk & Honey sessions of 1980, including demo tapes, studio chat and altenative takes. Much -- but not all -- of the material is available on the Lost Lennon Tapes series by Bag/Walrus. In my opinion, they could have done a much better job with the tracing of the history of (Just Like) Starting Over, as the Don't Be Crazy track is used twice, but a full take available elsewhere is left out, for some reason.
