It had been a while since I listened to this one as a whole. On my way out the door yesterday, I grabbed it and played it on my way to work…and again today. Man, what a great album! Can’t get enough of it.Wow. You one of those rich folk who have a Turntable in their car?????
I am old school and can’t break away from the term album. I rarely use the term disc. As Macca sang in ‘The World Tonight’, I go back so far I’m in front of me.
Now, if you will excuse me, I think I will go play this album on my hi-fi.

Offline This was the album that got me into George Harrison back in 1987.
I saw ‘Got My Mind Set On You’ on TOTP and went out and bought it the next day and then the album shortly after. Great stuff with not a dodgy song on it at all.

Even I see a mistake in this article. The author got the year wrong for when George passed away.
The song shot to number one in January 1988. The timing couldn’t have been more fitting; the following week, the Beatles were officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
It would be George Harrison ’s last hurrah. Three years later, he passed away from lung cancer.
I did learn something new, if this information is correct
In fact, he actually has three number-one solo hits to his credit in the U.S., more than any of the other ex-Beatles (including Paul McCartney , who’s still kind of a big deal).

Looking at Paul’s wiki discography he’s hit number in the US with ‘Uncle Albert /Admiral Halsey ‘, ‘My Love’, ‘Band On The Run ‘, ‘Listen To What The Man Said’, ‘Silly Love Songs’, ‘With A Little Luck’, ‘Coming Up ‘, ‘Ebony And Ivory ‘ & ‘Say Say Say’. So i dont know if the guy writing the article means on his own which leaves ‘Coming Up ‘ but its pretty poor going considering Wings took up most of the 70’s and duets formed the major single releases in the early 80’s.

I clicked on the link, and it said ‘thirteen’, which is correct. Maybe the author edited it when s/he realised his/her mistake?
Anyway, about this album: I feel the production is a little too 1980s for my taste, but the songs are good, especially the title track (and I discovered at last where @Zig gets his [in]famous username).
And the title track. Love it. The lyrics are basically explained by this quote by him:
‘I think people who truly can live a life in music are telling the world, ‘You can have my love, you can have my smiles. Forget the bad parts, you don’t need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it’s the very best, and it’s the part I give most willingly.’
I find that so… characteristic. And sweet.

No…you have not, @Beatlebug . The song ‘Zig Zag’ is purely a delightful coincidence.

Online Zig is right, SG. You’ll have to keep digging in the forum to figure out how he got that name.

Ergh! 
Anyway, I find ‘Cloud 9’ very useful in defending my right to be a Harrifan without enjoying all of his solo albums. ‘Take my love/ Use it while it does you good […] If there’s good to be shown/ you may make it all your own,/ And if you want to quit that’s fine…’

Offline The second George album I bought after George Harrison (1979); but Cloud Nine is better, in my opinion.

He does sound a bit cattish on the vocals. Maybe Puss sneaked into the studio and did the backup vocals.

Offline There is nothing to it bar a horrible saxophone or something that sounds like its from a crappy comedy show. The one good thing is the guitar solo.

And the lyrics. I like the lyrics. Which means something coming from me, because I don’t pay much attention to lyrics other than to memorise them for the purposes of their being belted out, loudly, to an empty kitchen.

Offline Got a copy of this for a couple of quid not so long ago. I wasn’t hugely impressed. How much you like it will probably depend on your feelings about jeff lynne’s production jobs.
A few decent melodies cut through lynnes studio sheen, particularly ‘when we was fab’ and ‘this is love’.

Offline The cover for this album sucks by the way. Presumably they had no other ideas or George couldnt be bothered so they stuck him in front of some photoshopped clouds and told him to smile/look stupid whilst wearing daft sunglasses (what is reflected in those by the way?). The guitar is the only nice thing on it.
