Classic Harrison

"As with a lot of his catalogue, it's hard to fathom why this great album from 1976 is out of print. (you can even tell it's the bicentennial by looking closely at the goofy glasses he wears on the album's cover) One of George's best and most underrated albums, it features several solid songs and is great disc to just chill out and listen to.The biggest hit off the disc is probably "Crackerbox Palace", but even that didn't get the airplay it deserved. Other very strong offerings are the opening track "Woman Don't Yu Cry For Me", the touching "Dear One", "Pure Smokey", and "Beautiful One". "33&1/3" is another fine example of George's magnificent guitarwork coupled to lyrics that are both witty and meaningful (and yes, sometimes even funny). I can't stress enough the quality of all the songs here, and many of them don't appear on any of the Harrison collections that are floating around. All I can say is that I really hope that this album is rereleased in the near future, as well as a lot of his other back catalogue. It's a shame for fans everywhere that such great music is unavailable from a master tunesmith. Definitely one to pick up used if you can 1. find it, and 2. afford it. Highly reccomended to fans of the late great George Harrison."

A Great One Out-of-Print

"It's a shame this record isn't available anymore. George Harrison had just few memorable discs and 33 1/3 was one of them, I'd say the other discs were: All Things Must Pass and Living in a Material World. Anyway, it's possible to get it used so if you can afford to pay the money they're asking for it, it would really worth. The songs featured in this disc are not available in any Harrison's collection. This disc is a must to any keen on Beatles' music."
