Any George Harrison fans?

I recently went into my local CD shop on my lunch hour to kill some time. No intention of buying anything really. I stumbled across the section for George Harrison and was amazed that they had one new copy of every solo album/cd he has ever done. Every one - maybe with the exception of Wonderwall and Electronic Music. Obviously these are new remastered issues.

Anyway, I picked up 33-1/3 (always one of my favs on LP and I haven't heard it in years) and was quite surprised by how good (sonically) it sounded. The music was even better than I remembered.

Just sharing a recent enjoyable CD purchase...

I love 33 1/3. Some of his stuff got a little preachy. But overall, I always enjoyed his music

My wife is a big fan of his. I like a few of his songs... likely the popular ones... but, it's good to know there's some re-releases.

I wonder if they'll release the remastered version of 33 1/3 on LP? Seems like a good idea for some reason.

If they do, that'll make my hifi hobby/addiction seem a little more worthwhile to her as well!

I really like George. I think his solo stuff is really underrated. My favorite is All Things Must Pass, which is my second favorite solo Beatle album behind John Lennon Plastic Ono Band.

I have a lot of his stuff and wonder what some of his rare LP's are worth now.

Extra Texture
Material World
All Things Must Pass

All those had good stuff on them I thought! I was just looking at my vinyl and I have almost his whole collection on vinyl, the originals copies.

Peace Man

I was born in '65 and my fav' album growing up was Abbey Road. George Harrison was the bass of the back bone of the rock n roll lumbar spine.

Your favorite album growing up was Abbey Road?!? Cool. That's one of my favorites NOW. When I was growing up I was more a fan of the Archies (Sugar Sugar) and the 1910 Fruitgum Company.

But I started to see the light when I was 12 or 13 and became a big Beatles fan. Got the White Album for my 13th birthday. Abbey Road for 14th. Hooked ever since...

I don't know why but most of Harrison's back catalog has been out of print for a while. Very recently, the released remasters of everything he has ever done.

Dying to get 33 1/3, a great pop CD. All Things Must Pass remaster has been out for a year or so, anyone comment on the sonics?
