Notes

416-page book with colour photographs. Book dimensions: 22.4 cms x 3.2 cms x 22.6 cms.

Published on the day which would have been George's birthday.

The pages of the book from the initial printing were quite thin. The author, John Blaney, insisted on a new printing with thicker pages.

From the back cover:

George Harrison: Soul Man Vol. 1 is the first in-depth illustrated critical review of a remarkable musician, songwriter, producer and star. It maps his career from Wonderwall Music in 1968 to George Harrison in 1979. It places his songs in their historical, cultural and, crucially, spiritual context, and maps his stylistic developments, which saw him reject Phil Spector's turgid Wall of Sound in favour of something more anodyne and modest. It traces his creative highs and lows and reveals the stories behind the songs of one of modern music's giants.

Packed with information for collectors, George Harrison: Soul Man Vol. 1 includes release dates, catalogue numbers, information about recording personnel, recording studios and UK and US label variations. It's packed with hundreds of colour illustrations including album sleeves, picture sleeves, promotional records, trade advertisements and more.

John Blaney is a passionate fan of The Beatles who brings to his writing the experience and rigour of a professional historian. He studied at Camberwell College of Arts and Goldsmiths College (both in London) before taking up a post as a curator at a museum of technology.
