Think for yourself; don't be taken by fuzzy base comp'l'ns

Review Score: (10/10)
I don't often favor compilation records but this must be one of the most poorly conceived of all time, with little or no thought given to what listeners might actually want. The best thing to say about it is that it doesn't have any bad songs. But the songs come from (relatively speaking) different eras of his music--so there's little continuity or theme.

And why put Beatles songs (over half the tracks) on here? Either you already have the Beatles albums they're on (thus, in buying this you'd buying a bunch of songs you already have) OR, if you don't have the Beatles albums, you should--otherwise you're missing out on some of the finest popular music of all, including not only the songs George wrote but all those Lennon/McCartneys on which he sings and shapes with his guitar work.

Anyone with an interest in George Harrison's music should also consider "All Things Pass", which has 17 or 18 great songs--more than this collection. And there's some might tasty stuff on "Material World" and "Dark Horse" as well. All in all, there are better selections available to one who wants to explore the music of George Harrison.
