Item arrived promptly in excellent condition: thanks! Many critics + fans alike never bother acknowledging this record's existence but is worthy, mainly for Harrison or ex-Beatle fanatics. Title cut definitely addictive while a couple others also interesting. Unfortunately, there are several duds. Recommended all the same.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Buyers considering this CD will fall into 2 catergories. Confirmed Harifans wishing to complete their collection, or casual listeners. The confirmed Harifans will need no review on this work, so I can only advise you get the remastered 2004 edition with 11 tracks, instead of ending up with the original 10 track version. Better yet, skip this entirely, and buy the wondefully packaged Dark horse box set, which contains this ( among others) and is lavishly packaged. Now to to casual Harrison/beatle fan. I am a dedicated Harifan, but in all honestly, if I was to select 3 Harrison albums to give up, this would make the list. If you were looking to include one 80's period Harrison album in your collection, its hands down Cloud 9. The opening track finds George's vocal style more shouting than singing, the forceful keyboards sound like hammering rather than playing, The carribean style patois on the title track, if delivered in a post Ali G society would sound patronising at best.You know you are in trouble when the virually lyric free " Greece" form a highlight. The saddest part of this album is the bonus track, a previously unheard accoustic version of " Mystical One", sad because stripped of the dated 80's production and synths so prevelant on this album, this track demostrates how strong he was both lyrically and vocally, and gives an insight into how good a Harrison album from this era might have been.Read full review
