Isn’t It a Pity by George Harrison – ***

First released: 1970

Readers already know I am not a huge fan of "All Things Must Pass". Here is another reason: two versions of this song. While the song is pleasant, it certainly isn’t good enough to warrant two versions. I would have rather that George left the redundant "(Version Two)" off and replaced it with "I Live For You" which was not officially released until the 2001 CD reissue. Also performed on George Harrison’s "Live in Japan" album and tour in 1991. George also demoed this in 1969 with The Beatles. That version has not been officially released. It was later included on 2009’s "Let it Roll – Songs by George Harrison".
