Olivia Harrison

This is truly a beautiful homage to George Harrison's life story. Told through, mostly his own, photos and quotes. Featuring pictures from his early friendship with McCartney and Lennon and the Beatles, his difficulties with fame and life as an ex-Beatle, to spiritual searching and parenthood, the entries are a glimpse of the not-so-public "quiet Beatle", allowing us to see his religious beliefs as he lived them. A rewarding read for anyone with an interest in the Beatles, George Harrison himself, or both.… (más)

Companion book to the recent HBO movie by Martin Scorsese. This book is complied by Harrison's widow Olivia Harrison. It mainly consists of photographs taken throughout the life of musician (ex-Beatle) George Harrison. The photos are interspersed with stories by family, friends, and fellow musicians about Harrison. Olivia Harrison has stated that she chose to have the book be primarily photographs because George was always into photography and videotaping. Previously unseen photographs taken by Harrison while on tour with the Beatles are included. What I liked most about this book was getting a look at Harrison's private life with his wife, son and his gardens.
Unfortunately my book is missing some pages -- the whole Dark Horse era is missing - while the end pages are repeated where those pages should be. I noticed on Amazon.com that others have had this same issue. So beware if you are looking to buy this book. This gives me an excuse to buy another copy when (if) the book is released n paperback. (I will check the pages first)
Highly recommended for fans of George Harrison, The Beatles or 60's music.… (más)
