Compilation and then some, of articles from Rolling Stone Magazine . Outstanding photographs. A great addition to my Beatles collection. 🥰

[Berry Muhl · Rating 4 out of 5]

Solid.

George Harrison is easily the most interesting of the Beatles, and aside from Ringo, the most musically accomplished. It's no secret that his songwriting was overshadowed by the McCartney / Lennon team, and that he grew into his powers somewhat late, but he came the furthest in developing his talent, and expanded his philosophy and worldview to a much greater extent than the others.

If you're into biography, this is a good choice. If you're not, then it's a good place to start.

This was an interesting take on the Beatles. In most books, Lennon and McCartney suck all the air out of the room, like they did in real life. Curating a book that focuses on the musical influence of Harrison is a bit of fresh air.

Good for a coffee table book. Good picture collection. The written material is redundant and had little to add to what I knew and understood about this man.

Had this for years and only ever skimmed; yes, it's photo-heavy but the text is wonderful, complete interviews from Rolling Stone and a really nice long bio piece as well as some track-insight.
