I’m Stepping Out by John Lennon – **

First released: 1984

Unfortunately, this sounds like a rehearsal take as there’s a lot of Lennon gibberish and talk that probably wouldn’t have made it onto the final take, but what can you do when your lead singer is no longer around. I would have punched up this song as well as things seem missing. It was the second or third single from John and Yoko’s "Milk and Honey" depending on what country you were from. Not to be confused at all with Joe Jackson’s similarly sounding song title from about this same time. And it’s on 1990’s "Lennon" and "Working Class Hero" from 2005. A demo version released as "Stepping Out (Home Version)" was added to the 2001 "Milk and Honey" reissue. There’s also a demo version released on 1998’s "The John Lennon Anthology".
