"Extra Texture – Read All About it" by George Harrison - ***

First released: 1975

After the lousy Dark Horse album and tour, George Harrison returned in 1975 almost in full voice and with an album at least as good as "Living in the Material World". Other critics quibble more, but I do like this album. It is not as good as the next studio album, "33 1/3", but there are many fine songs like "You", "This Guitar", "Tired of Midnight Blue", and "His Name is Legs (Ladies and Gentlemen)". The original album also featured a textured surfaced with die-cut letters, something not replicated on the CD version released in 1991.
