"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.

Gone Troppo by George Harrison – ***

First released: 1982

A nice tropical sounding song from the album of the same name, signaling George’s five year retirement, although at the time it seemed like it might be permanently. Fortunately, George did record a few more fine albums after his return, but at this time, he had indeed "Gone Troppo"! The song was also included on "Best of Dark Horse 1976-1989".

Gone, Gone, Gone by The Beatles – ***

First released: 1985

The Beatles performed a version of this Carl Perkins track during their "Get Back" sessions in 1969. Later, George performed it with Perkins in "Carl Perkins and Friends: A Rockabilly Session" and also live in 1987.

Gone From This Place by John Lennon – (NR)

Unreleased.

Unreleased Lennon demo dating from the late 70s.

Gone Are the Days by Ringo Starr – ***

First released: 2008

Another great track from Ringo’s "Liverpool 8".

Golden Slumbers by The Beatles – ****

First released: 1969

Sweet highlight of the "Abbey Road" medley, the violins is what makes it really work for me. A live version was performed by Paul on 1990’s "Tripping the Live Fantastic".

Golden Earth Girl by Paul McCartney – **

First released: 1993

Borrriing! Mainly because Paul recycles "Maybe I'm Amazed" and "Warm and Beautiful" to less effect, from "Off the Ground". An instrumental version appears on "Working Classical" in 1999.
