The Best Of George Harrison

Bought for a present. Recipient pleased with it. Case was damaged in the post not sure if it came a long way from abroad though as took a while.

As expected 👍

I've just retired. I have run a music business in the past and now for the first time for so many years, I have begun to catalogue and programme from my vinyl, cassette and CD collections. Have you ever looked back over your collection and realised there were / are gaps ? My research has been fabulous, listening to tracks, artists, arrangements and live gigs I'd almost forgotten ... then came the job of filling those gaps."The Best Of George Harrison" filled the gaps my Beatle collection didn't cover sufficiently ... there are some truly excellent tracks that I believe people have largely forgotten ( radio stations certainly have )and because he is no longer with us, we don't get the chance to go to his solo gigs anymore. It's a great shame, because in my view he was up there with John and Paul in terms of respect for his talent. George's work with The Traveling Wilburys is classic - I'll review that part of his life / "The Traveling Wiburys" Album elsewhere.More Lovely Memories ...

While I think it is important to acknowledge that this is a decent compilation of George Harrison's early music, there's a desperate need for an update to encompass his later work. If tracks with bands simply must be included, then perhaps "Something", "Taxman" and "...Weeps" from the Beatles years and some later material perhaps from the Wilbury's times could pass muster, but he surely has enough distinguished solo material to choose from that would do a far better job of showcasing the musician he became (or remained, since his style was consistent in many ways throughout his career). As a result this is really only a retrospective of his early days and utterly misses the point all these years later.A new and relevant compilation is really what's needed and, good though this is, the "Best of George Harrison" now involves a lot of later material!

great purshase and great service from amazon

The best of George, all on one CD."My Sweet Lord" is my favourite :)"For You Blue" is my wife's.~~Because you're sweet and lovely, girl - I love you.I love you at the moment I feel blue.I love you every morning girl, I do~~Great stuff, from the master musician, the Beatles' lead guitarist.~~Mmm, my sweet Lord, oh my Lord -I really wanna see You,Really wanna be with You,Really wanna know You, Lord -But it takes so long, my Lord.(Hallelujah; Hare Rama) ~~Beautiful. Hare Krishna!

I like to listen to the music. That is why I bought it

Arrived on the day, and I received a follow up message from Amazon stating it had been posted through my letter box- which was great as the queues for the Post Office collection are long.The music is what it's all about, and this cd has exceeded my music memories of this solo Beatle-
