I may not qualify to comment on George because he life may be a little too important and his music is etched in my soul. I’m sure there are a lot of others out there that feel the same. But, I will comment anyway. I hope at some point people around the planet will discover how amazing his solo music is. Not just “All things must pass”. For fun here’s some titles to check out sometime, somewhere. These might even be on you tube. Here we go. If you haven’t heard “Dear One”, “Rising Sun’, “Writing’s On The Wall’, “Life Itself’ (You must hear this one, it’s a total masterpiece), ‘Living In The Material World’, Oh and the guitar solo on “The light that has lighted the world” is so perfect. I get goosebumps. And how about…’World Of Stone’? emotional and deep, such beautiful lyrics. Note: if you have the remaster of “Extra Texture” check out the sweet guitar & keyboards floating around. Just so beautiful. The best guitar solo of all time might be on “Your Love Is Forever”, short and oh so sweet. And if you haven’t heard ‘Cloud 9’ (The Song), PLEASE do. You’ve got George Harrison in one speaker and Eric Clapton in the other. Stunning. 28 years after it’s release I STILL can’t get enough. I’ll stop now but there are so many many songs that are from the heart of a man who knew what he wanted to say and knew how to say it. It’s not just my opinion. They really are amazing works of art. Please check out George.
if you have ears you are qualified. i just turned 61 and when all george’s ’70’s albums were coming out i got made fun of for liking them. after “all this must pass” forget it. and look how good they all are-“gone troppo” ? look out ! anyway i’m so happy to finally be around mature people ( most 30 years younger than me !) who appreciate george harrison’s solo records. the music alone is just so tasteful. his vocals & backing harmonies-man just everything. thank you all.
George Harrison helped me understand faith, love, life, taxes and more. From the day I did the twist to 60 plus years later, I reflect upon his lyrics and life’s meaning ” in the material world” every day. Thank You George. P. S. Could you please continue to motivate me to play your beautiful songs on the guitar? Best Mark
My favourite Georges’ albums are Living in the material world, endind with the majestic flow of “that is all”, Cloud nine, with the fab feeling on “This is love”, Somewhere in England with the masterpiece “Life itself”, and George Harrison, I also love “gone troopo” in spite of the awful cover. I’m not sure George would have “released “Brainwashed” the way it was released, and All things must pass would have made an excellent simple album with 6 songs each side. I guess the production has always spoiled All things must pass for me, too much echo, horns, the whole Spector bit. There are good songs on each of his albums, even on Extra texture! George is with us
I only have the Best of George Harrison. It contains 7 of his best Beatles songs and 6 from his solo career. I could listen to it forever. It’s a great collection!
The Run of the Mill demo version from Early Takes is amazing. Love it. About the Beatles’ breakup, so sad in that regard, but what a song. Pointed mainly at Paul, I believe.
Also, the version of All Things Must Pass on Beatles Anthology beats any other version I’ve heard. Just give George a guitar and let him go. He never really needed Phil Spector.
33 & 1/3 is a beautiful album. Great songs.
I got All Things Must Pass in 1970 (from my Grandmother) when it came out..I was 11. I’ve since bought every reissue. George’s Classic.
I love Maya Love on the Dark Horse LP
Yes! Maya Love rocks. It’s so awesome to have the lyrics and their meaning with that beautiful music. George is so amazing.

Loved your comment!
To quote CSNY “..its been a long time ‘coming…”
George Harrison helped me understand faith, love, life, taxes and more.
From the day I did the twist to 60 plus years later, I reflect upon his lyrics and life’s meaning ” in the material world” every day.
Thank You George.
P. S.
Could you please continue to motivate me to play your beautiful songs on the guitar?

Would really love an Early Takes Vol: 2
