HOLLYWOOD , June 17 (UPI) -- George Harrison's first career-spanning solo hits collection, "Let it Roll: Songs by George Harrison," has been released in CD and digital formats.
Capitol/EMI Tuesday released the collection, which includes songs from the late Harrison's 1970 album "All Things Must Pass" through his 2002 CD "Brainwashed." The compilation also features recordings from the former Beatles' 1971 "Concert for Bangladesh," the record label said.
iTunes exclusively offers the digital album with a previously unreleased bonus track, Harrison's earliest demo version of "Isn't it a Pity."
The CD version includes a 28-page booklet featuring previously unseen and rare photos, and newly-written liner notes by Warren Zanes. The collection's 19 tracks have been digitally remastered by Giles Martin at EMI's Abbey Road Studios.
"'Let it Roll: Songs by George Harrison' is a gathering of material that takes us far into the territory that was ultimately a place unique to George Harrison," Zanes wrote in his liner notes essay for the new collection. "The keyhole into the world of George Harrison is the music itself. Yet his songs and the accomplishments for which he's remembered are inextricably bound -- and those accomplishments are, without question, eclectic in scope."
Featured on the new album are the tracks "Got My Mind Set on You," "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)," "The Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let it Roll)," "My Sweet Lord," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Live)," "All Things Must Pass," "Any Road," "This is Love," "All Those Years Ago," "Marwa Blues," "What is Life," "Rising Sun," "When We Was Fab," "Something (Live,)" "Blow Away," "Cheer Down," "Here Comes the Sun (Live)," "I Don't Want to Do it" and "Isn't it a Pity."
