George Harrison - Portrait of a Leg End - Non-Album Tracks (1987-2001)

A few days ago, I posted an alternate album that gathered all of George Harrison's stray tracks from 1985 to 1989, to create a coherent album much like his "Cloud Nine" one. This is a little different. It doesn't really hold together as an album. Instead, it just gathers up all the stray tracks from 1987 to 2001.

Unfortunately, Harrison didn't put out much music in the 1990s. In fact, he was almost in retirement, except for a 1992 tour in Japan, which isn't covered here. He worked off and on towards his next album, "Brainwashed," which came out in 2002, one year after his death. So I haven't included any songs from that, except for one acoustic version of "Any Road," since it's quite different.

Speaking of that acoustic version, Harrison played a couple of acoustic songs for a TV show in 1997, including that one. In that same appearance, he also played an Indian song ("Prabhujee") with Ravi Shankar and a few others. Unfortunately, the only known recording of that performance gets cut off after just a minute and a half.

I found the studio version of that song and synced the tempo and pitch to match the live version, then added in about another minute and a half to make it sound more complete. I would have added more, since the studio version is eight minutes long, but one can clearly hear Harrison's contribution on the live version, whereas I can't really hear Harrison's contribution on the studio version, even though he's supposed to be involved in that as well.

The picture used for the cover is of Harrison in 1997.

By the way, I chose the album title because it was a semi-joking early title for the Harrison album that eventually became "Brainwashed."
