BEST OF DARK HORSE 1976 - 1989

BEST OF DARK HORSE 1976 - 1989 : George was on high when he score big with his Cloud 9 album which got him back on track with the big boys of rock. So the power that be thinks it's most appropriate that he should make use of that sudden shot of fame and issue this collection. I first got this on cassette and I've always like the album cover. It was out of print for some time until I spotted it in a fleas market. Naturally I grabbed it. There are only three songs here that are not available on any albums which means I would never paid the full price for this album. Still, a nice addition to my collection.

Poor Little Girl ( Harrison ) : This was a nice song to start the album. George seldom was heard singing so joyfully. A great track but slight overly long. It would be nicer if it was trimmed down to one verse less
.

Blow Away ( Harrison ) : Refers to 'George Harrison' album.

That's The Way It Goes ( Harrison ) : Refers to 'Gone Troppo' album.

Cockamamie Business ( Harrison ) : The second song that was not available elsewhere. Not unlike 'Poor Little Girl,' this was yet another joyful track from George. After "Cloud 9," George seems to be on a roll. Another great track.

Wake Up My Love ( Harrison ) : Refers to "Gone Troppo" album.

Life Itself ( Harrison ) : Refers to "Somewhere In England." album.

Got My Mind Set On You ( Clark ) : Refers to "Cloud 9" album.

Crackerbox Palace ( Harrison ) : Refers to "33 and 1/3" album.

Cloud 9 ( Harrison ) : Refers to "Cloud 9" album.

Here Comes The Moon ( Harrison ) : Refers to "George Harrison" album.

Gone Troppo ( Harrison ) : Refers to "Gone Troppo" album.

When We Was Fab ( Harrison / Lynn ) : Refers to "Cloud 9" album.

Love Come To Everyone ( Harrison ) : Refers to "George Harrison" album.

All Those Years Ago ( Harrison ) : Refers to "Somewhere In England " album.

Cheer Down ( Harrison / Petty ) : This was part of the soundtrack from "Lethal Weapons 2." Great song from a great movie.
