"Honey" is the third Mercury album by The Ohio Players, released in 1975. Like previous albums, "Honey" is known for its very sexy cover photo. In this case, the model was "Playboy" magazine's October 1974 Playmate of the Month, Ester Cordet.

The album was recorded and remixed at Paragon Recording Studios in Chicago, with Barry Mraz as their recording engineer. Marty Link, Steve Kusiciel, Rob Kingsland, and Paul Johnson are credited as tape operators. Gilbert Kong mastered the final mix at Masterdisk in New York City.

It is the fourth of five Ohio Players albums that were also available in quadraphonic (4-channel stereo), released in the 8-track tape format. The quad mix was available on 8-track tape in the U.S., and on vinyl in Japan. It was released digitally as a DTS Audio CD by DTS Entertainment in 2001.
