Not a bad compilation but light on solo stuff

Review Score: (8/10)
With the passing of George Harrison, he's now overdue for an anthology of his best material (along with rarities like Tears of the World and the b sides Deep Blue & Miss O'Dell). Reportedly George was working on both a new album, reissuing his back catalog with bonus tracks and a possible anthology. Let's hope all of these come to pass.

This is a cliff notes version of Harrison's career which short changes the listenered by focusing too much on Harrison's Beatles material. Yes, that material is, for the most part, stunning but most fans already have this stuff (with better sound quality I might add). For me the ideal Harrison compilation would focus both on his solo album tracks, singles and b sides. Here's how it should be reissued:
My Sweet Lord; Beware of Darkness; Here Comes The Sun (with Paul Simon); Something ( from The Concert for Bangela Desh) Bangela Desh;Deep Blue; Miss O'Dell; Give Me Love, Give Me Life (Give Me Peace on Earth); Sue Me, Sue You Blues; Hari's On Tour; You; It Don't Come Easy (Demo recorded for Ringo); Beautiful Girl (Demo); World Of Stone; What Is Life?; Run of the Mill; All Things Must Pass; You And Me Babe (Demo).

And how about retitling it The George Harrison Anthology? If Beatles material must be included it should be rare live tracks.Sadly, George is gone but his spirit will continue on and his music will, hopefully, continue to as well.
