A Story is an album by Yoko Ono , recorded in 1974, during the "lost weekend" sessions in which John Lennon produced Walls and Bridges . It was unreleased until the 1992 box set Onobox , which featured material from A Story on disc six. It was only properly released as an individual album 23 years later in 1997, with the reissuing of Ono's back catalogue by Rykodisc . The reissue added three bonus tracks, including home demos and a live recording from the Starpeace tour.
