"Gone Troppo" by George Harrison – ***

First released: 1982

Coming a year after "Somewhere in England" came George’s "Gone Troppo". As successful as "Somewhere in England" was, "Gone Troppo" was not. This was not necessarily due to the content; rather it was due to the lack of promotion given by both Warner Bros. and George himself. I rather like the album, but I’ve tended to like all of George’s latter day albums because even though they are a bit quirky at times, George expressed much more confidence in his recording. Contradictory, George also seemed to lose the will to live after Lennon died and even though he had success again with "Cloud Nine", George’s heart was never completely in recording again for the long term. The CD came out in 1991 and the CD reissue in 2004 with a lengthy demo version of "Mystical One" added.
