O.K. knuckleheads here it is, my first post here at our new/old site 5 discs of Georgie Porgie for your listening pleasure. You may have this then again you may not.
One thing that has always puzzled me is why did John and Paul feel the song All Things Must Pass wasn't worthy of inclusion on Let It Be. Hell it's a better song than Across The Universe or Dig It or even For You Blue. The versions I've heard of All Things Must Pass with John and Paul doing the harmonizing background vocals blows away the songs I've mentioned. Anyway see scans for details
The last Georgie post went over really well. So I found this on a external and figured I'd give it up. Probably not a lot on here you don't already have, but you never know. See scans

George
Harrison and Ravi Shankar's 1974 North American tour was a 45-show
concert tour of the United States and Canada, undertaken by English
musician George Harrison and Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar in November
and December 1974. It is often referred to as the Dark Horse Tour, since the concerts served as a launch for Harrison's record label Dark Horse Records, and Harrison's concurrent single was the song "Dark Horse" The release of his delayed album, also titled Dark Horse, followed towards the end of the tour. The shows featured guest spots by Harrison's band members Billy Preston and Tom Scott.
The
1974 tour was the first in North America by a former member of the
Beatles since the band's 1966 visit. Raising expectations further among
fans and the media, it marked the first live performances by Harrison
since his successful staging of the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh
shows, which had also featured Shankar and Preston. Harrison had no wish
to revisit his Beatles past, however. In his set list for the tour,
Harrison included just four Beatles songs: his own compositions
"Something", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "For You Blue", and the
Lennon–McCartney song "In My Life".
The
response from music critics varied significantly throughout the tour.
Some reviewers were scathing in their assessment: Harrison was
criticized for failing to respect the public's nostalgia for the
Beatles, his choosing to afford considerable stage-time to Shankar's
ensemble, his spiritual pronouncements and on-stage demeanor, and
particularly the rough quality of his singing voice, caused by
overexertion in the months leading up to the opening concert. Other
reviews were highly favorable, admiring Harrison's humility in sharing
the spotlight with his fellow musicians and the lack of overly
theatrical presentation, and praising the breadth and adventurousness of
the musical program (Wiki).

*THANKS TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER AND THOSE WHO SHARE
So, I have found a way to eliminate all of Syd and David's vocals from all of the Pink Floyd albums you love. Hell they never did any thing anyway. I have also found a way to eliminate Nick, and Richard all together. I want to let you in on my newest project, a remake of the 969th version of DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. Coincidentally this re-make is the same number of weeks DSOTM was on the charts. Make sure you come to see my tour this year or I will spit on every one of you treacherous louts. Oh and a P.S. Polly (Yoko) Samson keep your fucking comments to yourself. I am a bloody GENIUS.
I see that the powers that be are going to give us a 2021 remix of Georgie's "All Things Must Pass" (again) However this version is going to be less Spectorizied than the previous released versions. Hopefully it will bring out the nuances like the recent Bowie "Man Who Sold The World" Anyway no back cover so the songs are.
