As the Beatles' perpetual dark horse, Harrison rarely got the chance to write and sing more than one or two songs per album. But once the band split up, the former "quiet one" was quick out of the gate with a series of memorable hit singles that seamlessly merged his budding spirituality and an epic, Phil Spector-inspired pop sensibility. This collection, originally released in 1976, combines seven of Harrison's best-known Beatles numbers, including "Something," "If I Needed Someone," "Here Comes the Sun," and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with a half-dozen early solo hits including "My Sweet Lord," "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)," "You," and "What Is Life." As such, it's a good entry-level Harrison primer. --Scott Schinder HARRISON GEORGE THE BEST OF..... Review: The Best Indeed Including A Few Beatles Classics - What more could be said about this George Harrison compilation here even if half of it contains his best known Beatles compositions. I got this for my girlfriend/bandmate because she never had a George Harrison collection before. Keep in mind that this is pre- Dark Horse Records era George not counting the title track of his 1974 album before he began recording for that label himself in 1976. To start off with is "Something", one of his two contributions from Abbey Road and his first #1 with the Beatles. The first half of this disc is Beatles-era George. His two songs from Rubber Soul "If I Needed Someone" and "Think For Yourself" are featured here as well as one of three Revolver tracks-"Taxman". My main favorite song of his from the White Album "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is included complete with Eric Clapton's guitar work. The other Abbey Road classic featured is "Here Comes The Sun". Let's not forget "For You Blue" from Let It Be. What better way to start the solo portion is with "My Sweet Lord" from All Things Must Pass which was his first #1 as a solo artist. His other chart-topper featured is "Give Me Love(Give Me Peace On Earth) from Living In The Material World. His single only track "Bangla Desh" from 1971 is featured here, which originally tied in with the all-star charity event of that year and was the show's encore number. "You" from Extra Texture is included not to mention a Phil Spector production besides like George's 1970/1971 recordings which brings to the disc's conclusion "What Is Life"[Another item from ATMP]. Unless they rerelease The Best Of Dark Horse !976-!989 soon, I suggest you pick up this George compile in the meantime because it's better than no George compile at all .Even if there are a few Beatles cuts here you won't go wrong this one. Really. Review: Another Memorable Artist & His Music - Good cd.Worth the money. Enjoy it thoroughly.

Love Best of CD's.
Great! Reminiscing my childhood helped me during my mother's passing. And who doesn't like George Harrison's mindset, aka words in his songs.

George Rocks
I love George Harrison. I could listen to him day and night. I had this cd, it was very old and skipped a bit. My kid bought me a new one for my birthday. He left the money on my dresser. He's a great kid. If you love George, it's a lot of his best songs. I think all of his songs are his best songs. If you never heard him before. Give it listen, you'll like it. But I bet you'll love it.

ジョージの個人史であり、彼のベスト・アルバム！
このベスト・アルバムは本当に素晴らしいアルバムです。 ビートルズ時代から、ダークホースまでの時代のヒット曲を全て収めたアルバムです。 前半は、ビートルズ時代、アルバムに一曲づつくらい納められていたジョージの曲、後半は、マイ・スイート・ロードからダーク・ホースまで大ヒット曲ばかりです。ジョージの個人史のような構成になっていて、音楽の変遷（成長といってよいかもしれない）がとても良く分かります。そうはいっても、いい曲ばっかりだが・・。 ジョージは、アルバム作りの長編作家の面が強いですが、ヒット・メーカーとしても素晴らしいミュージシャンだと思います。 ジョージのベスト・アルバムです。
