Product Description

CD Description

Let It Roll: Songs By George Harrison features solo hits from 1970’s All Things Must Pass through 2002’s 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 EMI’s Abbey Road Studios. The CD’s 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.

“Let It Roll: Songs by George Harrison is a gathering of material that takes us far into the territory that was ultimately a place unique to George Harrison,” writes Warren Zane in his liner notes essay for the new collection.

George Harrison is a twice-inducted member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a solo artist and as a member of The Beatles, and an 11-time Grammy Award winner for his recordings with The Beatles, Traveling Wilburys and as a solo artist.  He left a giant shadow across the musical and cultural landscape and this album celebrates one aspect of his artistic vision.

3.0 out of 5 stars George Harrison - let it roll, 8 May 2009
By R. G. Bell (Ascot, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well the track listing has been released (May 7th 2009) and whilst I am still looking forward to a long overdue release I have to say I am disappointed at the lack of imagination in the song selection. One wonders which "focus group" came up with this all too predictable collection.

It seems there is no place for "Your love is forever" from the 1978 "George Harrison" album; a solo Beatle classic and a fantastic demonstration of George's open D tuning and vastly underrated, slide guitar technique.

In addition there is no room for "Life Itself," "Run of the mill" "Tired of midnight blue" "Cockamamie Business," the Philly inspired "Woman don't you cry for me" "Unknown delight" "Awaiting on you all" "Beware of darkness," "Stuck inside a cloud" and many many more. This might have been an excellent opportunity to release one or two tracks that have been lying in the vaults - "Lay his head" is the one that immediately springs to mind.

One can only hope that Olivia Harrison, who hitherto has managed George's not inconsiderable legacy with a dignity and a grace which has been truly inspiring, will persuade the powers that be to re-visit this project and add another disc which will do justice to a talent that for so long has been overlooked.

All of the above being said I will still order a copy - from Amazon of course

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to George Harrison's solo work, 28 Aug 2009
By Jay Firestorm "Jay Firestorm" (Berkshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Like many people my age (early thirties) I expect, I grew up with 'The Beatles' from my fathers old LPs. They were just kind of always there. As I grew older, I learnt to appreciate them for myself; and with that in mind, I decided to check out some of their solo works.

I personally found this a really good introduction to George Harrison's solo stuff. I can appreciate more hard-core fans picking out tracks that they feel have been wrongly omitted from this compilation, but I think whatever they picked, they would never please everyone.

Just about every track is good, and it's stood the test with me of being played quite a few times - often I'll buy a CD, listen to it once, after which it will sit on the shelf gathering dust. But with this one, I find I can listen to it again and again.

It's hard to pick out the best tracks, as nearly all of them are of high quality. For those who feel that key tracks have been missed, well... personally I'' like to see a second volume, and maybe they'll be included there.

5.0 out of 5 stars OK I see your point....but come on it's George!!!, 14 Jun 2009
By An Avid Rock Fan (South Wales. U.K.) - See all my reviews
I do agree with many of the sentiments of the other reviewers regarding this album. Yes it could have been so much better and many favorites have been ommited which has frustrated many....but hey come on it is George Harrison we're talking about...one of the greatest musicians/composers of all time and I just think it's great that almost 8 years after his death we still can have a George album doing so well in the pre-order chart and the fact that we're all here still debating the tracklist...well it's just fab.

Thank you for the music George...we still miss you....sleep well you beautiful man.
