December 11, 1970 lists Best Albums Of Tlle Year (continued from page 1) beautiful HarrisonrDylan love song, and Harrison’s gently whining passages are beauti- ful, Then, on "Wuh-Wah”(for Peterson7), Harrison‘s guitar has the vital driving beat wh— ich he is so adept atperform~ ing. There are some surprises on the album. First of all, Geo‘ rges' lyrics are filled with optimism and the album is filled with his love of God "Forgive me Lord/Please those years when I ignored you/Forgive them Lord/Tn ose that feel they can't af- ford you." And the song wh- ich was put on a 45mm is entitled "My Sweet Lord" is a rousing gospelrty'pe song, complete with backrup by the George O'Hara—Smith Sings ersl (This is really George dubbed over and Over about 20 times.) This song sounds am- azingly like “Oh Happy Day" and it is impossible to remain seated when playing it. ”Hear Me Lord" is another song of the same type; this is one that Joe Cocker could really do well (nor to takeanythingaway from Harrison). “Wahrvllah” is a driving song with strong dissonant chords similar to "I Want to Tell You" on Re— volver. ”Apple Scruffs” is a "tounge-inrcheek” bouncy son . gharrlson may be spear king of his fellow Beatles when he sings, “AppleScruffs/ How I love you") There are few faults, if any on this album. Phil Spector coeproduced it with Harrison, however, he has learned his lesson. Unlike "Let It Be", he does not overload this air bum with orchestras filled with violins and trumpets. Whr on there is an occasional vio- lin, it is subtle and fits perr fectly with the song, suchias the violin solo in "Isn't It A Pity". The violins so closely resemble Harrison's guitar that it is difficult to tell them apart. This album is justin time for Christmas (or for you New York City people,,”hanukahl) And it’s not too "expensive; it's the perfect gift . . . toask for!
