| COMMENTS | The
Best of George Harrison is a 1976 compilation album by English
musician
George Harrison, released following the expiration of his
EMI-affiliated Apple Records contract. Uniquely among all of the
four
Beatles' solo releases (apart from live albums), it mixes a
selection
of the artist's Beatles-era songs on one side, with later hits
recorded
under his own name on the other. Capitol Records released The Best of George Harrison on 8th. November 1976 in U.S., with the catalogue number Capitol ST 11578. The UK issue, as PAS 10011 on EMI's Parlophone label, followed on 20th, November. The UK edition contained Bob Cato's colour photo of Harrison sitting in front of an antique car, with art direction for the package being credited to Cream designs. The inner sleeve of the original LP in Britain contained a picture by Michael Putland, showing Harrison on a wintry beach in Cannes, where he was attending the Midem music-industry trade fair in January 1976. |
