Great job, perfect transaction!. I received my like-new cassette in perfect condition and in a very timely manner.


As soloists, Paul was more successful, but George made the best albums
From the smash hit "Got My Mind Set On You" to the gorgeous guitar pop of "Fish On The Sand", George Harrison turns out an album that sounds as at home in the 80s as the Beatles did in the 60s. 17 years after the dissolution of The Beatles, George Harrison made this album, which is still probably the best thing any former Beatle has ever made.


CLOUD NINE
CLOUD NINE IS GEORGE HARRISON'S BEST ALBUM IN MY APIGON I THINK IT'S BETTER THEN ALL THIGS MUST PASS I LIKE THE SON WHEN WE WAS FAB THIS IS A GOOD ALBUM TO GET ERIC CLAPTON AND RINGO SARR AND JEFF LYNE WERE GOOD ON THE ALBUM TO THANK YOU GEOGE FOR THIS GREAT ALBUM.


Cloud Nine is Harrison's Number One!
In '87 many "oldies" were being covered and on this album ex-Beatle George Harrison covered the 1961 Rudy Clark hit GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU. CLOUD NINE was released in 1987,six years after SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND. Later the music of the song would be recycled by "Weird Al" Yankovic for THIS SONG'S JUST(SIX WORDS LONG). The lyrics to the latter song were written by Yankovic. This album was produced by Harrison and his longtime friend Jeff Lynne of the Electric Light Orchestra. This album also is the intitial project for the pair. In addition to Lynne,guest artists include Elton John,Harrison's fellow ex-Beatle Ringo Starr and Gary Wright who wrote and recorded the hit song DREAM WEAVER in the seventies. WHEN WE WAS FAB was another hit from this album. I suppose it tells about Harrison's(and Starr's) Beatles era. It's just like ALL THOSE YEARS AGO from SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND which was a tribute to fellow ex-Beatle John Lennon who was fatally shot in December 1980. All the other songs are cool. THIS IS LOVE was another hit from the album. After this album,Harrison and Lynne would team up with Bob Dylan,Tom Petty and Roy Orbison to form the Traveling Wilburys with their own aliases.


Excellent George Harrison
Often compared to "All Things Must Pass" in terms of quality, it lacks ATMP's sheer scope and vision, but is overall probably an easier recording to listen to and enjoy. On his 1987 release "Cloud Nine", often considered a comeback album for the ex-Beatle, George Harrison again thrust himself into the collective musical consciousness with a set of 11 well-crafted and slickly produced (thanks to fellow ex-Wilbury Jeff Lynne) songs.

Most people recall the radio hit "Got My Mind Set On You", but the album has so much more to offer. From the introductory guitar riffs of the title track to the music's finale, George's wit and humor permeate the album. Other standout tracks would have to include "Fish on the Sand", "Devil's Radio", "When We Was Fab", "That's What it Takes", and "Just For Today".

"Cloud Nine" showed George in the studio making great music and having a blast doing it. It's hard to believe that this was the last studio album he actually released during his lifetime. (his final recording "Brainwashed", released about fifteen years later, was only made available posthumously). It's also a shame that this disc is out of print, as mourning Harrison fans should be able to own this wonderful piece of music. We can only hope that Dhani completes the remastering of his father's work and makes this available to his father's fans.
