THE BEST OF GEORGE HARRISON

THE BEST OF GEORGE HARRISON : This 1976 compilation album from EMI was a slap on the face of George Harrison. The contents of the album offered half of George's Beatles songs and the other half songs under his own name. The Beatles songs were well represented and released in many other greatest hits CD and his solo songs were not fully represented here at all. Even Ringo Starr have a greatest hits album of all his solo hits. As such, this album is meant only for casual fans and not for hardcore fans. The saving grace however is that this album remained the only official album that have the single 'Bangla Desh' and it was only for this reason that I bought this album. Thankfully I got it from a fleas market at a relatively cheap price. I would never pay the price of a whole CD for only one song.
