TheDroid 5th Oct 2018		George originally wrote the song for Ronnie Spector, the wife at the time of Phil Spector, who recorded it in 1971 to be included on an Apple album she was planning to release. The sessions broke down and the album release was abandoned so the song remained unreleased. George Harrison used the original backing track, adding his vocals and some overdubs, and used it as the lead off song for this LP some four years later.



TopPopper 5th Oct 2018		Hi Phantom. Good review. You didn't mention my favourite on the whole album - World of Stone. Has something of a Long Long Long flavour to it, for me.



Phantom Gtowner ● 5th Oct 2018		Review I'm getting really tired of this LP constantly being hammered by the critics. Yet I agree, it certainly isn't his masterpiece. Most of George's solo records, even LP’s like “Living In The Material World” and “Thirty Three And A Third”, are very uneven. But it’s not absolutely terrible either, there are redeeming qualities.The single "You" is a good song, very commercial, but totally over produced in a “Phil Spector/All Things Must Pass” type of way. Was “You” recorded at another session? Sure sounds like it. I really like "The Answer's At The End", "His Name Is Legs", "Grey Cloudy Lies" and in particular Leon Russell's piano passage in "Tired Of Midnight Blue". On the other hand "Can't Stop Thinking About You" is not much to write home about. It's too repetitious and long. Oh, and the track "This Guitar (Can’t Keep From Crying)" is yet another good listen. George isn’t really a great singer and that becomes evident in several places on “Extra Texture” and many of his other LP’s. But I think this record was as good as George could possibly do at that time. To say that this was a throwaway and his contractual obligation is a very misleading, if not an outright lie. When he was in that previous band he got a lot of help from his friends and he was so much better because he only had to write one or two songs per album. Now he’s standing naked for all of us to see. We knew what his talents were as a player but it wasn’t until his solo career began that we really got a much better look at George’s abilities as a music creator. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
