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.
