"The Quiet Beatle" George Harrison...
06-May-08... An excellent arrangement of George's music. A must for those who not only enjoyed the Beatles music but also loved George Harrison and his contribution for completing the FAB FOUR. Though this is not all of his music it is still a great CD from the "Dark Horse" George Harrison who will forever be missed. And never forgotten as future artist that has also been influenced by his personality and artistry.

It was a brand new CD at a great price and low shippingThe reason I love this product is because the cd is brand new considering that a brand new cd from The Beatles or former members of the group have been selling brand new on ebay for more than $10.00 each.Also the very low shipping was extremely appealing to me.

Love this Best Of more than most of his other..it does it for me.
His music was different from John's or Paul's post-Beatle work.
George has a certain style all his own. That's why I bought it.

A nice,albeit incomplete,collectionReview created: 04/08/07

This is a nice,but incomplete,collection that I've had on cassette tape for many years.While the same songs appear on the CD that are on the cassette,the major difference is the cover picture.The CD uses the UK album cover while the cassette and original US album had a portrait of George's face with a space-like background.Since George didn't have as many solo hits as John,Paul and Ringo at the time this album was originally released and since Capitol felt obligated to release a George Harrison greatest hits set after releasing similar sets from the other three Beatles,several of George's Beatles songs are included to flesh out the album.It does,however,omit some worthwhile solo material in favor of those Beatles cuts.For someone who is only vaguely familiar with the recorded output of the late George Harrison this CD works as a decent introduction and nothing more.Since it was released in the mid '70s on Capitol records it doesn't include George's hits from the late '70s and the '80s on his own Dark Horse label.There is a separate Dark Horse anthology,long out of print,and quite pricey.It's really a shame,especially in light of his passing,that there isn't a more thorough,updated collection of George's solo material available on the market.So if you're not looking to spend a lot of money this is what I would recommend.Just keep in mind that it is merely an introduction and nothing more.

In 1976, George Harrison's contract with Capitol Records was ending, so a Best of George Harrison compilation was rushed out. Because this album was made early in George's solo career, it includes only thirteen songs, seven of which are Beatles songs which George wrote. It also includes some weaker tracks that really shouldn't be on a greatest hits collection, while ignoring some of George's early solo gems. Something is one of the Beatles' most romantic songs, featuring sincere, beautiful lyrics and a Harrison guitar solo that is perfection itself. George's voice and songwriting skills had...

Pros:
Any way you look at it, thirteen good songs.

Cons:
Too much emphasis on the Beatle years at the expense of his solo work.
Too much emphasis on the Beatle years at the expense of his solo work.
To put it charitably, this greatest hits collection was an insult to George Harrison. With the breakup of the Beatles, there was a large school of thought that Harrison could not hope to match the expected solo successes of his former bandmates, Paul McCartney and John Lennon. Although George had written several important songs for the group, and penned a bona fide classic in Something, he was not a prolific songwriter, nor was his voice particularly well-suited for taking the lead much of the time. His strength, it seemed, was as a guitarist, and not much more than that. So it must have been.

GEORGE HARRISON was a member of the GREATEST MUSIC GROUP OF ALL TIME, THE BEATLES . He was once considered the quiet Beatle early in his career with the group. George is the youngest of the FAB FOUR which also consisted of PAUL MCCARTNEY , RINGO STARR and the murdered JOHN LENNON . Not only were these four young singers from Britain the Great Music Group but each member went on to there own very good music career after the group disbanded. BACKGROUND: George was considered the Lead Guitar Player for The Beatles who played a regular guitar, an electric guitar and a slide guitar at different...

I have to let you know that although, I am only now reviewing this album, I am not one of those people who ran out and bought it just because the guy is dead. This CD has been a part of my collection for awhile. I chose to write about it now, because it is a record of the best stuff Harrison ever did, and if you don't know a lot about George Harrison, but want to now, this is a good CD to start with. The Best of George Harrison covers his songs with the Beatles, as well as in his solo career. The first 6 or 7 tracks are Beatles tunes, the best of which is "Something". This is a song that...

This truly isn't a review as much as a remembrance. George Harrison was one of the most amazing musicians to ever grace the earth. He was a passionate human with a great gift that he shared with anyone who ever listened to his music whether it be a Beatles song or his solo albums. I personally prefer his own music that he made on his own without being overshadowed. Genuises like him don't come around often and this album shows that. Every song on here is priceless. I chose this album to review with this message because the best of George Harrison is the best there is. What other songwriter...
