Let It Roll: Songs By George Harrison



The track listing for the new George Harrison compilation coming out on June 16 has apparently been released on Amazon.com it is as follows:

1. Got My Mind Set On You
2. Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)
3. The Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)
4. My Sweet Lord
5. While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Live - "Concert For Bangladesh" Soundtrack)
6. All Things Must Pass
7. Any Road
8. This Is Love
9. All Those Years Ago
10. Marwa Blues
11. What Is Life
12. Rising Sun
13. When We Was Fab
14. Something (Live - "Concert For Bangladesh" Soundtrack)
15. Blow Away
16. Cheer Down
17. Here Comes The Sun (Live - "Concert For Bangladesh" Soundtrack)
18. I Don't Want To Do It
19. Isn't It A Pity

There also has been a track listing posted on the Japan Tower records web site which differs slightly with it's track running order and substitutes "Marwa Blues" for "This Song".
An interesting collection to be sure. Not a hits disc nor a career spanning compilation but kinda falls somewhere in between. My initial reaction is one of disappointment. I do like the inclusion of "I Don't Wanna Do It" making it's debut on a Harrison CD. I am hoping for the single mix of the tune and not the one already included on the "Porky's Revenge" soundtrack.
Several albums receive no inclusion ("Dark Horse"; "Extra Texture"; "Gone Troppo" and "33 1/3" if you don't include the Japan listing), this is just a shame.
I HAVE read that this track listing may NOT be the final listing.
Let's hope not! We will of course keep you posted.
