John Lennon- MENLOVE AVE.- CD- 1986/1997- Capitol Records, Inc.- 0077774657624 (Sticker Only)- 400 grn
MENLOVE AVE. is a compilation album by English rock musician John Lennon. It is the second posthumous release of Lennon's music (after Milk And Honey), having been recorded during the sessions for his albums Walls And Bridges and Rock 'N' Roll. MENLOVE AVE. was released on 3rd November 1986 under the supervision of Yoko Ono, Lennon's widow. The artwork for the release was effected by artist Andy Warhol, just months before Lennon's death in 1980. John Lennon's album MENLOVE AVE., though probably most famous now for its Andy Warhol-produced cover, actually represents some of the best of what the former Beatles star produced between Imagine and Double Fantasy. A real labor of love for Lennon's widow Yoko Ono, MENLOVE AVE. arrived as the third posthumous album she'd overseen – following 1984's Milk And Honey and the concert disc Live In New York City, from earlier in '86. Unlike those two previous projects, however, she'd originally had nothing to do with these sessions. Her care in constructing MENLOVE AVE. went beyond that iconic album image. The name itself recalled Lennon's childhood home at 251 Menlove Ave. in Liverpool. Yet the genesis of these songs was, more often than not, an alcohol-fueled nightmare that found Lennon battling his producer Phil Spector and his own demons during a particularly dark period. Rock 'N' Roll, an ill-fated 1975 attempt to reconnect with Lennon's roots, went awry when he and Spector clashed. The sometimes-claustrophobic Walls And Bridges was nearly relegated to curio status in 1974 because of similarly Spector-esque studio missteps. Beneath all of these excesses, Lennon actually did some of his best-ever singing. You hear that again on MENLOVE AVE., which serves as both a powerful reminder of what went wrong, and a glimpse into what might have been. Sadly, MENLOVE AVE. arrived in a time perhaps too far removed from the nostalgia of his tragic 1980 death, to say nothing of an MTV-driven onslaught of synthpop. In time, a smattering of its songs appeared elsewhere. By then, MENLOVE AVE. had been long out of print. It wasn't made available when the rest of Lennon's catalog arrived on streaming services.

The Rock 'N' Roll side draws mostly from the first Phil Spector-produced sessions in Hollywood, which collapsed amidst storied incidents of '70s excess. There are two hitherto unreleased Lennon songs on board: "Here We Go Again" (co-written with Spector), a fairly uneventful song massively overproduced, and "Rock And Roll People", which has a more Spartan production by Lennon and a nice kick to it. "Angel Baby", originally put out on the unauthorized Roots album, makes a raucous first official appearance here. "Since My Baby Left Me" sounds like a glorified party tape, giving listeners a taste of the madness of those sessions, and a lumbering rendition of Spector's chestnut "To Know Her Is To Love Her" closes the side. The Walls And Bridges alternates ("Steel And Glass", "Scared", "Old Dirt Road," "Nobody Loves You (When You're Down And Out)" and "Bless You") lack the orchestrations of the master takes, and they are better off for it. Indeed, "Steel And Glass" and "Scared" take on an especially starker power. By today's standards, this would be a pretty meager harvest of unheard Lennon, recommendable only to completists and the really dedicated fan. But in those pre-Lost Lennon Tapes/Lennon Anthology days, it was a tantalizing look into the vault.
