| Perhaps the
most famous among the sacred Hindu and Tibetan symbols is
the “Om (or Aum) ” sign, the embodiment of the sound
that created everything in the universe. You will see "Om" very often when looking through the works of George Harrison. |
EMI originally
issued the Beatles UK albums on cassette tape with
re-arranged running orders, the reason for this was that
because of the 8-track stereo tapes made at the same time,
it was necessary to adjust the endless tape's four tracks to
be approximately the same length. |

| COMMENTS | White paper label with Parlophone
logo cassette, with light grey shell. The Best of George Harrison (LP: PAS 10011) is a 1976 compilation album by George Harrison, released following the expiration of his EMI-affiliated Apple Records contract. Uniquely among all of the four Beatles' solo releases, apart from posthumous compilations, it mixes a selection of the artist's 7 songs recorded with the Beatles on one side, and later hits recorded under his own name on the other. Side two was made up of Harrison's biggest solo hits: "My Sweet Lord" and "What Is Life" from All Things Must Pass (1970), "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" from Living in the Material World (1973), the title track from Dark Horse (1974), and "You" from Extra Texture (1975).The sixth solo song was the non-album single "Bangla Desh", released in 1971. The first 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. EMI originally issued the their UK albums on cassette tape with re-arranged running orders, the reason for this was that because of the 8-track stereo tapes made at the same time, it was necessary to adjust the endless tape's four tracks to be approximately the same length. DOLBY B-type: A Dolby noise-reduction system, or Dolby NR, is one of a series of noise reduction systems developed by Dolby Laboratories for use in analog audio tape recording. The first was Dolby A, a professional broadband noise reduction system for recording studios in 1965, but the best-known is Dolby B (introduced in 1968) for the consumer market, which helped make high fidelity practical on cassette tapes, which used a relatively noisy tape size and speed. From the mid-1970s, Dolby B became standard on commercially pre-recorded music cassettes. |
