Grow Old With Me by John Lennon – ***

First released: 1984

Recorded in demo version only in 1980 by John Lennon, this version was given official release on the "Milk and Honey" outtake compilation in 1984. This version is also on 1990’s "Lennon" and "Working Class Hero" from 2005. The song had real potential. George Martin had a hand in producing an orchestrated version for 1998’s "The John Lennon Anthology" and "Wonsaponatime" years later, but a lush orchestra cannot help a muffled cassette recorded vocal and it sounds like another "Free as a Bird" patch job.
