"Concert for Bangla Desh, The" by George Harrison – ****

First released: 1971

With the advent of DVDs, the usefulness of this collection has been rendered useless, but looking back to 1971 and the original LP version; this was quite an impressive three-record set, although the songs were spread out over the set kind of unevenly, and some would argue that if you cut out the Indian music, it could have been a double album, but then that kind of defeats the point, right? Most impressive being the huge book included with many, many photographs of the events. When Apple released this to CD, they tried to replicate the book, but left a lot of it out and even screwed it up by tipping the “OM” symbol on its side! By the time of the CD reissue from 2005, they changed the graphics completely and added some tracks ("If Not For You", "Come On In My Kitchen", "Love Minus Zero/No Limit"), but as I said, since the DVD was released concurrently, the necessity of buying this CD is superfluous.
