I Me Mine-The Extended Edition

Product Information

Featuring both studio and demo versions of 'All Things Must Pass', the pressing is only available with the I ME MINE limited edition. However, a casual Beatles fan probably would ingest this as a first primer on the subject, and not find it boring. Success has a way of changing everyone who achieves it, and the members of the Beatles were a good example of rags to riches.

There are better books if you want a Beatles chronology but if you are interested in the “quiet” Beatle, this is a good biography. That marriage endured until his death and she has spent the years since then re-releasing his music and in general spreading the message of George Harrison. The complexity of his character was something that hadn’t really been noticed before,” Norman said, adding, “Actually taking the whole elusive man, a bundle of different personalities, that was what was fascinating .

The intense recounting of a deranged fan that broke into his home Friar Park and stabbed him 40 times was riveting and horrifying.

It was published in February 1988, in a limited run of 2500 copies, by Genesis Publications, and included an EP of rare or previously unreleased Harrison recordings. On my end, my favorite was George whose solo album, All Things Must Pass touched parts of my heart that I had long ago bricked away so nobody could ever hurt me again. This was the endlessly self-contradictory “quiet one”, actually as verbally quick on the draw as John at press conferences; who accepted the workhorse-role of lead guitarist, poring dutifully over his fretboard while John and Paul competed for the spotlight, yet offstage was the most touchy and temperamental of the four; who railed against “the material world”, yet wrote the first pop song complaining about income tax; who spent years lovingly restoring Friar Park, his 30-room Gothic mansion, yet mortgaged it to finance his friends the Monty Python team’s Life of Brian film; who, contrarily, became more uptight and moody after learning to meditate; who could touch both the height of nobility with his historic charity Concert for Bangladesh and the nadir of sleaze in his casual seduction of Ringo’s first wife, Maureen. A third version of the book, now containing "59 additional handwritten lyrics and unpublished photographs not found in the original printing", was released in February 2017 to mark what would have been Harrison's 74th birthday. Harrison’s mercurial temperament and his muttering, saturnine character clashed with the public image, and it’s rare to have a snapshot of a wide smile outside of the obligatory sessions and photo-ops.

This is something like Philip Norman's 4th or 5th book on the Beatles - one devoted to at least each group member except for my favorite, Ringo Starr! He spent years lovingly restoring his Friar Park estate as a spiritual journey, but quickly mortgaged the property to help rescue a film project that would be widely banned as sacrilegious, Monty Python’s Life of Brian . This attracted the attention of not only the Ku Klux Klan but every other good ol’ boy south of the Mason-Dixon line. However, the sample of my work drawn to her attention – by a previously friendly executive at the Beatles’ Apple company – was that ill-judged 2001 obituary, given seeming eternal life on the internet along with numerous posts from fans virtually endowing me with horns and a tail. Songs by George Harrison is a book of song lyrics and commentary by English musician George Harrison, with illustrations by New Zealand artist Keith West.
