IT'S HARD TO BE BUTTERFLIES
Label: BARRIER BAR-007/8 (2CD)
Source: SB Sound quality: A
Outtakes for "DOUBLE FANTASY" & "MILK & HONEY"

Comments from Chris Jarvis:

This double CD comes in a slip case with a booklet like the Vigotone releases and each set is individually numbered.
It is nearly all previously unbooted material and is really great. The title "It's Hard To Be Butterflies" comes from a comment John makes between takes.
It's particularly interesting listening to all the chat between the takes and it's just like being a fly on the wall in the studio. It's funny when they are ordering dinner (Disc 2 Track 1 ) and John convinces the whole band to have SUSHI.
Even though there are numerous takes of the song "I'm Stepping Out", it never becomes boring. John approaches each one in a different way by ad-libbing at the start and end. He seems to be really enjoying himself!
This is a great new Lennon bootleg and if you see it, buy it... you won't be sorry!
