Not Guilty by The Beatles – ***; by George Harrison – ***

First released: 1979

Though recorded and unreleased by The Beatles in 1968 for inclusion on "The White Album", George rerecorded this comment on the status of Beatles affairs for his 1979 "George Harrison" album. The original version didn’t see official release until "Anthology 3", although it was to have been part of the aborted 1985 "Sessions" LP. This probably should have been released as a single, but George still was desperately trying to shake the Beatles connection. I originally liked the solo version a lot better until I heard The Beatles original. They should have released it originally, but I guess too many Lennon and McCartney tunes.
