George Harrison, "APPLE JAM" [imagined LP]

GEORGE HARRISON

Isn't it a Pity (version two)*

------
Inspired by the beatles.what.if.blogspot, I went ahead and assembled this idea he proposed. His artwork, too. All the songs are on the 'jam' disc of All Things Must Pass. "Isn't it a Pity (version two)" I included as a 'bonus track' since the rest of the songs from the original 3LP were distributed among the two Beatles reunion discs or used for the single-disc version in our shared timeline (as it were). I think this would have been a Zapple release, much like Back in Your Safely Beds would have been (projected release for early '69--I added "Palace of the Bird King" in between "Mary Jane" and "Revolution 9"; flows well).  Due to all the solo releases in 1970 (Sentimental Journey; Plastic Ono Band; All Things Must Pass; McCartney; Beaucoups of Blues) as well as the band's supposed farewell LP Everest, this little disc of jams most likely would be issued in '71. Harrison would go on contribute to the next Beatles LP Through Many Years as well as organize the Concert for Bangladesh. A nice little background for driving....or whatever ;)  It's a must have for completists, I s'pose.

  1. You should look into the jams on the Derek & Domino 3cd set. Very similar and contemporary. IMHO
