Description

Let It Roll: Songs By George Harrison features solo hits from 1970s All Things Must Pass through 2002s Brainwashed plus live recordings from 1971's Concert For Bangladesh. This first-ever career-spanning solo hits collection (on CD and digitally) contains 19 tracks that have been selected by Olivia Harrison and digitally remastered by Giles Martin at EMIs Abbey Road Studios. The CDs special packaging was designed by Olivia Harrison and includes a 28-page booklet featuring previously unseen and rare photos, and newly-written liner notes. Featuring classic singles such as My Sweet Lord, Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth), Got My Mind Set On You and When We Was Fab, the new title also features live recordings of three timeless Harrison-penned Beatles songs, Something, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Here Comes The Sun, from his 1971 all-star Concert For Bangladesh benefit at Madison Square Garden. The album also contains two rare recordings: Cheer Down (co-written with Tom Petty) from the Lethal Weapon 2 soundtrack and I Don't Want To Do It (written but never recorded by Bob Dylan) which featured in the lost classic, Porky's Revenge.

    Comments about PARLOPHONE George Harrison - Let It Roll - Songs of George Harrison:

    I know that Lennon-McCartney wrote most Beatles hits, but I've always been a George Harrison fan, not only because I loved his songs and his way of singing them. He was also a very fine guitarist.
    "Something", "Here Comes The Sun", "Taxman", "Within You Without You" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" are masterpieces, and as a solo artist George wrote songs like "My Sweet Lord", "Isn't It A Pity", "All Things Must Pass" and "Got My Mind Set On You".
    This cd focuses on his solo career, and the only Beatles songs represented her are live versions of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun". Do I need to tell that this is good music.? The album gives you a many-sided picture of George Harrison's talents as a songwriter and musician, and the remastered sound brings new details to the music.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about PARLOPHONE George Harrison - Let It Roll - Songs of George Harrison:

    Demonstrates Harrison's ability. For my money leaves Lennon & McArtney in his dust. Sadly still not around today so a great loss to music. Would like to have seen a two or three other tracks on the album eg Dark Horse, Bangladesh to make in a truly great collection

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
