George Harrison is a rock icon and M&C is celebrating his achievments in music by giving away prize packs – including The Dark Horse Years 1976-1992, the book I, Me, Mine, and limited edition lithographs of Let It Roll: Songs By George Harrison.

The Dark Horse Years 1976-1992 includes six CDs: Thirty Three & 1/3, George Harrison, Somewhere In England, Gone Troppo, Cloud Nine, and Live In Japan (SACD). Also includes The Dark Horse Years exclusive DVD, available only as part of this set.

Taxman (from Live In Japan) 10. Cloud 9 (from Live In Japan) 11. Devil's Radio (from Live In Japan) 12. Cheer Down (from Live In Japan) 13. Shanghai Surprise 14. Someplace Else 15. Hottest Gong In Town

George Harrison’s I, Me, Mine has been cherished by fans and collectors since its first publication in 1980. It features George in conversation with The Beatles' spokesperson Derek Taylor, discussing everything from early Beatlemania to his love of gardening. The lyrics to over 80 of his songs, many in his own hand, are accompanied by his uniquely intimate and humorous commentary.

Fifty archival photographs of George with The Beatles and solo capture a journey of creative and spiritual transformation. Brimming with the wit, warmth, and grace that characterized his life, and with an introduction by his wife, Olivia, I, Me, Mine is a treasured portrait of George Harrison and his music.

Capitol/EMI released George Harrison’s first-ever career-spanning solo hits collection, Let It Roll: Songs by George Harrison, in CD and digital formats.  iTunes exclusively offers the digital album with a previously unreleased bonus track, Harrison’s earliest demo version of “Isn’t It A Pity.”

The CD version includes a 28-page booklet featuring previously unseen and rare photos, and newly-written liner notes by Warren Zanes. The collection’s 19 tracks have been digitally remastered by Giles Martin at EMI’s Abbey Road Studios.

“Let It Roll: Songs by George Harrison is a gathering of material that takes us far into the territory that was ultimately a place unique to George Harrison,” writes Warren Zanes in his liner notes essay for the new collection.

This collection is the first to span Harrison’s entire solo recording career, including the #1 Billboard Pop singles “My Sweet Lord,” “Isn’t It A Pity,” “Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth),” and “Got My Mind Set On You."  Let It Roll also features live recordings of three timeless Harrison-penned Beatles songs, “Something,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” and “Here Comes The Sun,” from his 1971 all-star Concert For Bangladesh benefit at Madison Square Garden. 

The Prizes:

Two (2) Grand Prize Winners will receive The Dark Horse Years 1976-1992, and the book I, Me, Mine
Five (5) Runner-UP Winners will receive a limited edition lithograph of Let It Roll: Songs By George Harrison (lithograph is of the album cover).

To enter, contestants need to provide a name and e-mail address. Upon notification of winning, contestants will have five days to reply with the name and address of where their prize should be sent.

Sorry, but this competition is open to residents of the USA only.
