I Don’t Want to Do It by George Harrison – ***

First released: 1985

When it seemed that 1982’s "Gone Troppo" album was to be the last ever recordings by George Harrison, it made it all the more shocking to see this Bob Dylan-penned song released three years later as part of the "Porky’s Revenge" soundtrack. It was also released as a single in a slightly different mix. Maybe George wasn’t retiring after all. Two years later, the answer would be revealed with "Cloud Nine". The song has its origins from the "All Things Must Pass" sessions from 1970. It was finally included on a "George Harrison" album with 2009’s "Let it Roll – Songs by George Harrison".
