GEORGE HARRISON

My favourite Beatle has died aged 58.
Whilst his overall musical output in terms of quantity pales against his more famous partners,the quality of his best work is on a par with theirs.
He seemed the most mystical of the Beatles,the wisest possibly too and yet the most ordinary and unaffected of them .
No record collection should be without Abbey Road,The White Album and All Things Must Pass.
A brilliant guitarist and songwriter and it would seem a fine human being,his last thoughts where for others,as they often seemed to be.
God bless.

Among his great contributions was the introduction of "world music" to popular music. George not only played the sitar on the Beatles album Rubber Soul, but helped introduce Ravi Shankar to the world of rock and roll. His efforts to help the starving people of Bangladesh brought millions of dollars to the relief efforts by producing the first rock and roll benefit concert held in Madison Square Garden.

We will miss you, George. Rest in Peace.

George and John will live forever in our hearts, minds and souls. My condolences to George's family and loved ones in their time of grieving.

I've just discovered that I no longer have my old copy of All Things Must Pass. Anyone know if the LP set has been reissued on any heavy vinyl label? If not, any good CD remasterings that you know of? I must restock my collection immediately, as I have a craving to listen to these records this weekend.
