Capitol / EMI used the occasion to announce a forthcoming album of George's songs, "Let It Roll: Songs By George Harrison", due out June 16th. the new title will feature digitally remastered tracks in deluxe packaging, including an extensive booklet featuring previously unseen and rare photos. The collection will also be available for download from all major digital service providers.
Let It Roll: Songs by George Harrison is the first release that will span his entire solo recording career, including the hit singles "My Sweet Lord," "Isn't It A Pity," "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)," and the surprise 1987 Billboard #1 hit "Got My Mind Set On You." Like his seventies collection, "The Best of George Harrison", the new title will also feature his best known Beatles compositions, but only three of them, "Something," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and "Here Comes The Sun". These will not be the versions recorded by the Beatles, but concert versions from the Concert For Bangladesh benefit at Madison Square Garden back in 1971. The complete track list will be announced later.
George Harrison left Capitol / EMI in the mid-seventies and released his later albums on his own Dark Horse Records label, distributed by A&M Records and later Warner. Shortly before his death, George reverted to the old Beatles label, Parlophone Records, who released his posthumous studio album, "Brainwashed". We miss George a lot.
