- Overlooked and Undervalued

I love this CD! Many Harrison purists have scoffed at this one because it's not his best work -- but I found it a wonderful collection anyway. Although most of my favorite songs are also available from the CLOUD NINE collection, there was enough additional material to make it a worth while purchase -- especially CHEER DOWN which was only available on the LETAL WEAPON 2 soundtrack. This album was particularly hard to find! Get it while you can!

- HARRISON'S GREATEST HITS VOL. 2

This cd collection of the dark horse, is more complete what the best of george harrison, because contains more hits.

Best of dark horse includes the george solo's work in his own company, Dark Horse Records, which were distributed by Warner Brothers Records, and the The Best of George Harrison on Capitol / Apple Records, contains George's hits in the early years of his solo career, and with the Beatles / unfortunately not include all of his best work. So Best of Dark Horse, contains greatest hits of 1976-1989 years, like: BLOW AWAY, CRACKERBOX PALACE, CLOUD NINE, ALL THOSE YEARS AGO, LOVE COMES TO EVERYONE ........

The only glaring ommision i noticed was THIS SONG from the 33 1/3 album, wich is one of solo Harrison's best songs and was also a fairly big hit ins his own right.

This album is perfectly and wonderful!

- A solid collection!

This is a solid collection of Harrison's work from 1976 to 1989 and is a nice compliment to "The Best Of George Harrison" (which covers his pre-1976 work). There is one major omission from this CD, "This Song" from the 33 1/3 album which was top 40 hit in 1976. Other than that, this CD contains all the highlights from the period.

However, Harrison's work deserves a new, comprehensive collection spanning his entire solo career with all his hits and important songs in a single collection! His work merits it and his fans deserve it!

- Contains indispensible Dark Horse tracks, why wasn't it remastered?!

I really like this album, and I bought it when it was still a reasonable price. Cheer Down and Poor Little Girl are great, and Cockamamie Business is good too, the latter two are only available on this compilation.

The Dark Horse Box Set has two mysteries, IMHO. The first is, only Live in Japan is a hybrid SACD (why not all hybrid SACD?), the second is why weren't the three aforementioned tracks remastered and included with the box set?? (there are more tracks, too, like Lay His Head, that should have been included)

But should you pay an unreasonable price, if you have money to burn, go for it, even if you're just in it for the great music, they're not...

- Best of Dark Horse

One of my favorite albums of all time. Some of the tunes are familiar and some are not when you first listen to the album. What makes a great album is that you will have varying favorites over time. This album is no exception as I have had at least six favorite tunes through the years of owning this album; there is not even one weak album cut. George was just great, and this album is a testimony as a collection of tunes which reflected his genious.
