Grow Old With Me [July 5-9 1980]

The recording date of these demos can be approximated by lyric sheets dates for 'Grow Old With Me' and 'Real Love', July 5 and 9, 1980, respectively. Like 'Real Love', 'Grow Old With Me' was planned for inclusion on Double Fantasy or Milk And Honey, but as fate would have it, the song was never recorded in studio. In 1998, the Anthology box included an orchestrated version of the demo arranged by George Martin, presumably this was the sort of production Lennon had planned for the composition. The remastered version of the demo included on Milk And Honey suffers from a glitch towards the end which has been restored here.

@GJHC1 He wore the clear ones at night. John owned several versions of these glasses, they were hand made in Japan.
