Far and away the most incredible and comprehensive collection of all the watchable video that exists from the last months of John Lennon's life as he records amd discusses the sessions that would become Double Fantasy and Milk And Honey.

Over 2 and a half hours spread across two DVDs, this set also includes all versions of all the videos that are no longer available.
Plus TV broadcasts, promotional specials, commercials and everything else -
all in the most complete and best available quality.

It also contains a great deal of footage, some of it believed lost forever, making it's appearance here for the first time.

This is by far the most essential and enjoyable Lennon video collection for this period ever to appear.
