Menlove Avenue. An early attempt at a posthumous John Lennon LP that collected outtakes from his relatively short solo career and not particularly choice outtakes focusing mostly on his Rock n Roll and Walls and Bridges LPs. None of the tracks from the album’s first side appear on the John Lennon Anthology so I guess this release will still be sought after by some Lennon completists. Sort of an odd release though. 1986.

My Bonnie. Tony Sheridan. 1962.
At least two of the songs on that album feature a pre-fame Beatles as Sheridan’s backing band. A 45 of those songs is what brought the fabs to the attention of Brian Epstein. Sheridan died on Saturday at age 72.
