From Harrison's humble working class roots to his life as a superstar, this book tells the story of this musician who, after 25 years of media scrutiny, still remains elusive and enigmatic. This book gives insights into his early days in Hamburg, the Beatle's touring and studio work, the drugs, the affairs, the disputes, the deep personal effect of Lennon's death and the later emergence of Handmade Films and the Travelling Wilburys. The author interviewed friends, family and collaborators as well as George Harrison himself in order to complete this book. This "lively, sympathetic biography" describes the late Harrison's years as the most mysterious of the Beatles, his immersion in Eastern mysticism, fascination with Hitler and recent success with the supergroup, the Traveling Wilburys. "Harrison's rise, fall and return to fame, his spiritual quest, drug experiences, marital infidelities and paranoia are aptly chronicled," Fossilized forever as a Beatle in the Sixties strata of the 20th century, George Harrison was also considered the most underrated of the group. Despite the Beatles unprecedented success, it was only after the Fab Four's dissolution that Harrison's creativity flourished. Harrison inner-sanctum entrant and Beatle chronicler Giuliano has written a revelatory biography of the elusive Harrison and his constellation of secular and spiritual interests, passions, pursuits, friends, and loves. The variegated musical phases of his career, through his involvement with the Travelling Wilburys, are here examined with the benefit of numerous interviews. Harrison's own autobiographical I, Me, Mine ( 1/1/82) is unsurpassed for the song-by-song explication, but Dark Horse should be its on-shelf companion. A necessary acquisition for most libraries. This is the cassette audio version written and read by Geoffrey Giuliano.
